Pat Robertson: Trump Should Issue A Blanket Pardon And Shut Down Mueller Investigation

Pat Robertson: Trump Should Issue A Blanket Pardon And Shut Down Mueller Investigation
By Kyle Mantyla | October 30, 2017 2:55 pm

On “The 700 Club” this morning, televangelist Pat Robertson reacted to the news that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had been indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election by calling on President Trump to issue a blanket pardon of everyone who might be implicated in the probe and to then shut down the investigation entirely.

Robertson absurdly claimed that Mueller’s investigation has been inexorably “tainted” by the fact that the Clinton campaign and DNC reportedly helped to fund an opposition research dossier during the campaign that alleged connections between the Trump campaign and Russia, insisting that any indictments that result from the Mueller’s investigation must therefore be dismissed and the investigation quashed.

Trump “can grant a pardon to everybody involved in this thing if he wants to,” Robertson said. “This whole thing has got to be shut down … He has every right to shut Mueller down and say, ‘You have gone as far as you need to and I have instructed my Justice Department to close you down.'”

If I was a christian I would want to boycott and picket his studios until the piece of shit disappeared.

There is nothing, at all, Jesus like about Pat Robertson.

If I were a believer I would imagine that Robertson is exactly the kind of person Jesus would have thrown out of the Temple. And with a swift kick in the butt.
