Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention said Friday that several of the denomination's major entities are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in the wake of its multiple problems related to clergy sex abuse.
The SBC's Executive Committee has received a subpoena, but no individuals have been subpoenaed at this point, according to the committee's lawyers.
"This is an ongoing investigation and we are not commenting on our discussions with DOJ," they said.

MSG Stan Hutchison - The DOJ needs to straighten out their own house to regain credibility. Right now, they have none so no one can believe anything they say. They have proven what political people they are. MHO

SFC (Join to see) - You are voicing the opinion of some of the far right Trumpers, not the majority of America. Personally, overall, given their case load, I think the DOJ and the FBI are doing a fantastic job.
Of courser I am not a member of the Trumpers, so I can see the facts, not the spin.

TSgt Tim (lj) Littlejohn - Once again I must destroy another right wing myth;
"Our conclusion was that Dearborn Muslims, like all U.S. Muslims, may follow Shariah law in their personal lives and may enter into contracts—such as pre-nuptial agreements—bound by their principles. So may adherents of other religious faiths. And judges may use religious laws to interpret such contracts, providing all parties agree from the beginning.
Far as we could tell, though, judges did not use Shariah law in lieu of the U.S. Constitution or state laws—nor were they doing so in Dearborn. Berman's statement landed a False from the Texas Truth-O-Meter."

There are many more sources out there to support this.

TSgt Tim (lj) Littlejohn - Oh, I will add one more tidbit:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Recognize that?
