It's not about sex with the pool boy.

[Tink41]

It's that he was blackmailed to obtain an endorsement from the evangelical right. That is what is scandalous. All these bible thumpers
willingly believed Trump was a man of God all because someone got caught doing things they rail against. It's a shame, really.

[underpants]

1. That's what I've been asking about. Jr flipped real sudden like from Cruz to Trump

There was a lot of speculation as to why and that Michael Cohen was involved. He either had info/pics or he buried it. Now we know it was more than just pics of Becki. I wonder if any reporters (Vox - Axios) will follow up in this.

[Tink41]

2. I'm kinda curious

Why now?

[soothsayer]

5. Maybe it's in cohen's book?

[soothsayer]

6. Well there's this

Exclusive: Trump fixer Cohen says he helped Falwell handle racy photos

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Months before evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr.’s game-changing presidential endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016, Falwell asked Trump fixer Michael Cohen for a personal favor, Cohen said in a recorded conversation reviewed by Reuters.

Falwell, president of Liberty University, one of the world’s largest Christian universities, said someone had come into possession of what Cohen described as racy “personal” photographs — the sort that would typically be kept “between husband and wife,” Cohen said in the taped conversation.

According to a source familiar with Cohen’s thinking, the person who possessed the photos destroyed them after Cohen intervened on the Falwells’ behalf.

The Falwells, through a lawyer, declined to comment for this article.

10. Too bad there are voice recordings

Texts etc. Didnt seem to erase them!

[underpants]

20. Yeah. The reports were about pics.

There were jokes here and elsewhere saying that it could be more. Looking back it really was pretty obvious. I mean, come on. People don’t just hand over things because they met a charming kid.

[boston bean]

3. It is about the sex though.

They hypocrisy of their sexual acts.

[Tink41]

8. Sure yeah ok

Not the time for clouding the issue. These bible thumpers voted for Trump based on an endorsement involving blackmail.
Thats the issue when we vote in November. People who don't like to talk about "disturbing" things will hold their nose and vote.
When they know the endorsement meant nothing it may be different

[BeyondGeography]

9. Which just sets them up for a Rev. Swaggart-style redemption scene

There’s always a ticket out of hell in fundy land.

[Zoonart]

4. It's the hypocrisy.

[Sneederbunk]

7. Was Pecker involved in this?

[mac56]

11. The pool boy's was.

[Alliepoo]

21. Lolololololol!!!!!!

[Cirque du So-What]

12. I am betting 'yes'

His rag is a clearinghouse for all manner of dirt. They still have plenty on rump, but he paid to keep it under wraps.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

13. Did Pecker leak, in other words?

[LakeVermilion]

14. What do you think?

[Sneederbunk]

16. Instead of Catch and Kill it was Catch and Blackmail.

[poli-junkie]

15. I'm also wondering why Pecker resigned from AMI just late last week...

[mainer]

17. 20 minutes ago Cohen tweeted this:

18. Not a shame at all, imho. It's a well-earned payment on karmic debt.

I don’t have one ounce of sympathy. The Falwells are carnival barkers — entitled grifters who only cared about themselves and their empire. It’s a pleasure to watch their charade crumble.

As for the people gullible enough to trust them? Too bad, so sad — we warned you.

[Tink41]

22. Honestly more sorry for us

[Duncan Grant]

27. I don't think I'll ever get over the trauma of trump.

It is however, very therapeutic (for me), to watch each and everyone of his enablers get publicly excoriated. They deserve far worse.

(And I get your point. 🙏 )

[AnotherMother4Peace]

19. Fallwell thought he was Teflon, the way he bragged & posted his nasty pics. He's an

idiot if he didn't consider someone blackmailing him. Speaking of nasty pics, has Bunker Boy called him a nasty man yet?

There were some TV ads of Jerry Fallwell, Jr. endorsing Bunker Boy, and asking for donations - I wonder if they'll still be using those. They were being aired on MSNBC & CNN.

[brewens]

23. In a way, this shouldn't be news worthy any more than my towns city council meetings.

Oh look, they voted to put in some new sidewalks. Flip to the sports section and not even remember I read that. It's that routine with these guys.

[BigDemVoter]

24. They are all so fucking disgusting. . . .

As a gay man, I have heard all the fucking shit I want to hear from that hypocritical piece of shit, Jerry Falwell, Jr. And I wish I believed in hell, as it would give me so much goddamned pleasure knowing that Jerry Falwell, Sr. was roasting on a pit in hell with "Satan" just sticking his fat ass repeatedly with a hot branding iron!

[TheCowsCameHome]

25. Social distancing to the extreme.

"Go right ahead, honey, I'll just sit over here and watch"

[lpbk2713]

26. It's also about pool with the sex boy.
