Get the FBI involved all right, but not in the way Reverend Swinging Dick is implying.

HUH? “Criminal conspiracy?” Just might be that the board members are doing their job of conducting over site, investigating immoral and self-serving behavior, and honoring their fiduciary responsibilities? What an egomaniac!

No one can smear a Falwell because there are no words in our language that are low enough to describe them.

Maybe you DON’T want to get the FBI involved in an investigation of Liberty U. They have a habit of charging anyone they discover who has broken the law.

What is Falwell talking about here – since when does the FBI devote time, energy, and resources investigating stolen e-mails…:roll_eyes:

Falwell does not fall well. Probably doesn’t feel well either.

And while you are at it, FBI, please give me any compromising photographs you might find.

To me it just sounds like a Trump crony is calling on Trump to sic the gestapo on his detractors. I mean from the article Falwell’s claim is:

“Our attorneys have determined that this small group of former board members and employees, they’re involved in a criminal conspiracy, are working together to steal Liberty property in the form of emails and provided them to reporters,”

Anyone know what the property laws are in regard to cyber postings and emails? That is if I send an email on a work computer, does work own those emails? What about receipt of emails?

It sounds ridiculous other than Falwell calling on Trump to use the powers of Government to include the FBI and Justice Department punish Falwell’s detractors.

Falwell Jr isn’t very Christian -that we all knew - but he’s also not very smart. Are we sure he’s not one of Trump’s illegitimate kids? He’s sure giving Don Jr and Eric a run for their money.

Corrupt rich perv calls in the cops, thinking to outsmart and mislead them? Are you kidding me? This is literally every episode of “Columbo.”

A lot of schadenfreude this week. Mr. Falwell’s hypocrisies are catching up to him. Not that any of this is surprising…Liberty University has never been about education. The Falwells have always been more like another variation of Jim and Tammy Bakker with their make us rich schemes. Is anyone actually surprised that their sense of entitlement now includes having government agencies do their bidding?

This reminds me those stupid criminal stories about dealers calling the cops because someone stoled their weed.

Could this be Falwell’s Last supper?

I suppose he could be … but it’s not like I’d have expected brilliance to spring from the loins of Jerry Falwell Sr. either!

Wouldn’t it be a miracle if Liberty University and the NRA went down at the same time? If so, thank you, Dog.
