On his radio program Thursday, Mark Levin addressed the latest reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is impaneling a grand jury for the Russia investigation and the FBI thinks they have a compelling obstruction case against President Trump. The investigation, said Levin, is essentially a "coup" against the president.
Levin began by explaining that the process involving Mueller as special counsel "has been abused" from the get-go.
"In this case, there was no underlying criminal matter at all," Levin said. "This was a counterintelligence investigation."
Levin reiterated that a counterintelligence investigation is not a criminal one, which would mean that a special counsel was not necessary in this circumstance.
He went on to highlight reports stating that the grand jury was issuing subpoenas regarding Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer in hopes of obtaining damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Levin pointed out that this means that even the subpoenas are being leaked.
"Let me tell you what's going on here: they want to drag Donald Jr. in front of a grand jury and everybody else who was in that meeting – all eight of them – and see if they can find any contradictions in their testimony," said Levin, "and then apart from that meeting and apart from anything that took place in that meeting – because nothing that took place was criminal – see if they can get somebody on a 'lie.' Perjury."
In other words, they're trying to slap Trump Jr. or anyone else in the meeting with a "process crime," a crime that was committed during the process of the investigation rather than the meeting that occurred.
Levin also highlighted a report about how chief FBI officials could be testifying against President Trump and that officials think they have a compelling case of obstruction against the president.
"We're leaking the investigators' views of a potential criminal case in public to try and destroy the presidency," Levin said. "To try and build political support for ... if the Democrats take the House to impeach the president."
After reading from a report stating that former FBI Director James Comey and Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and other top FBI officials are going to testify, Levin stated: "This is a coup."
"This is a coup that should upset every American, Trump supporter or not," Levin said.
Levin later added that these reports indicate that "Comey's inner circle" from the FBI is responsible for these leaks to the media.

The biggest news in recent days has been House Republicans successfully beginning the legislative process to repeal and replace Obamacare by passing the American Health Care Act last Thursday.
But according to conservative firebrand and radio host Mark Levin, repealing and replacing Obamacare isn’t the number one issue for conservatives. In fact, Levin said Friday the top issue that should be on the radar of all conservatives is the grassroots movement to convene a convention of states to amend the Constitution.
As of Friday, 11 states have passed a resolution calling for a convention of states. Texas, by passing a resolution late last week, became the 11th state to do so.
In addition to the 11 states that have officially passed a resolution, 10 others have passed a convention of states resolution in at least one legislative chamber. Twenty-three other states have active legislation considering the convention of states.
Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes the process by which it can be amended. The Constitution lays out two amendment processes: either through Congress with approval from three-fourths of the states or through a convention of the states where at least two-thirds of states, 34 of 50, participate and three-fourths ratify any amendment.
“You wanna hear the biggest news today, the very biggest news today? The Texas House just passed Article V Convention of States resolution. The Senate already passed it. So, Texas is state number 11, state number 11 out of 34 needed,” Levin said Friday.
“I am telling you, as we get closer to 20, this will be the biggest issue in front of you. The left will go crazy. They’ve already started. Their organizations are getting ramped up,” he explained.
Levin continued:
Some of the conservative think tanks will start to attack as well. The Washington politicians will go nuts. The media will go nuts. I will again be called a right-wing conspiracy hack for my role, at least, in radio and my book in this effort.
But I want to congratulate The Convention of States organization, Mark Meckler, Mike Farris, Tom Coburn and their folks. I want to congratulate Governor Abbott, Lt. Governor Patrick and the conservatives in the Senate and the House in Texas.
According to the organization behind the push to call for a convention of states, they aren’t currently advocating for any specific amendments, but rather amendments that decentralize power from the federal government and reallocates it back to the people and states.
During a lengthy appearance on “Fox and Friends” Sunday morning, conservative
radio host Mark Levin explained why he thinks former President
Barack Obama undoubtedly spied on then-presidential candidate
Donald Trump during last year’s presidential campaign.
Levin spent the first handful of minutes, nearly half the
interview, laying out the evidence for why he believes Obama
is guilty, including reading reports directly from mainstream
media outlets like the New York Times, the Washington Post,
McClatchy and the Guardian.
When Fox News host Pete Hegseth tried to move the segment
along, Levin interrupted, “Hold on! Hold on! I need to make
the case because the media seems to be confused about their
own reporting!”
According to Levin, the evidence is clear.
“The issue isn’t whether the
Obama administration spied
on the Trump campaign or
the transition or certain
surrogates, the issue is the
extent of it,” Levin explained.
“The evidence is
overwhelming,” he went
on to say.
The conservative radio host continued:
They were so aggressive, they waited four or five months, they go back in
October, weeks before the general election, they narrow their request, all
of the sudden we have leaks coming out on [Michael] Flynn. Then we
have a “Oh horrible” meeting that took place between [Attorney General
Jeff] Sessions and so forth. And I’m telling you as a former chief of staff t
o a United States attorney general in the [Ronald] Regan administration,
these are police state tactics.
Now what did Barack Obama know? He knew everything I just read you
apart from one or two articles. You wanna know how I know? It’s in the
newspapers! It’s right there! So Barack Obama not only knew this, but he
gets a daily intelligence briefing.
Later in the interview, Levin emphasized that the case he just
previously laid out against the Obama administration wasn’t
of his doing, but of the mainstream press — he just pieced it
together.
Then he defended Trump.
“Donald Trump is the victim. His campaign is the victim. His
transition team is the victim. His surrogates are the victims,”
Levin explained. “These are police state tactics.”
“I’m telling you as a former chief of staff to attorney general,
if this had been done to Barack Obama all hell would break
lose,” he added. “And Barack Obama’s statement [on the
wiretapping allegations] is just pathetic.”
Moving forward, to get to the bottom of these allegations,
Levin suggested that the two FISA court warrant requests
from the Obama administration need to be released, in
addition to the daily presidential intelligence briefings from
the past year being released to Congress.
“There ought to be public hearings on this stuff, too,” Levin
told the “Fox and Friends” hosts.
The left-leaning mainstream media has spent the last 24 hours marginilizing yesterday’s Tweets from President Donald Trump indicating that the Obama administration was actively wire tapping phones in Trump Tower ahead of the November election. Jokes, insults and spin have been the order of the day as popular liberal mouthpieces have trashed the President, his staff and radio host Mark Levin who initially broke the story earlier in the week.
But no matter how much they spin, it is becoming crystal clear that President Obama’s administration did, in fact, involve themselves in electronic spying of Trump and his surrogates in an effort to link him to Russian influence.
Levin, who was referred to as a ‘hack’ on CNN this Saturday, was no die-hard supporter of Trump during the campaign season. As a Constitutional attorney, the radio host is often found making well documented arguments on his show. In an interview with Fox & Friends on Sunday, Levin hit back at those who deny any involvement into wire tapping of Trump’s staff by the Obama White House.
The evidence, as you’ll see in the video segments below, is simply undeniable and lays out a devastating case utilizing publicly available documents and investigations that prove without a shadow of a doubt that President Obama inserted himself into a free election in an effort to stifle and delegitimize Trump’s Presidential aspirations. Six federal agencies were involved, including FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ, Treasury Department Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Director of National Intelligence:
The evidence is overwhelming… this is not about President Trump’s tweeting… this is about Obama’s spying… And the question isn’t whether it spied… we know they went to the FISA court twice… it’s the extent of the spying… that is, the Trump campaign, the Trump transition, Trump surrogates… and I want to walk you through this, the American people… this is all public…
The evidence, much of it sourced from anti-Trump mainstream websites, shows that President Trump was right on target with his claims on Saturday that Obama was directly involved.
The reaction on social media was almost instant:
Following Levin’s report, we’re left with the same question for President Trump that we had yesterday when we noted that Barrack Obama actually tapped all of our phones. President Trump, what are YOU going to do about it?
If the judicial system continues to usurp power it doesn’t rightfully possess, then America’s current system can’t last much longer, according to Conservative Review senior editor Daniel Horowitz.
“We will not survive another few years as a republic, irrespective of who wins this election, if the courts are not stripped of their power,” Horowitz declared during a recent appearance on the Mark Levin Show.
Indeed, the nation is reaching a “cathartic moment in our history where elections don’t matter,” according to Horowitz.
Levin praised the book, calling it “a must-read” and “a terrific book” and deeming Horowitz “one of the smartest young men in the conservative movement today.”
Horowitz said he was inspired to write the book by two distinct events that happened Sept. 3, 2015. That was the day Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis was thrown in jail for refusing to violate her Christian faith by issuing “marriage” licenses to same-sex couples. This came after the Supreme Court in June created the constitutional “right” to homosexual marriage.
Then also on Sept. 3, according to Horowitz, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel invalidated the deportation of a criminal alien because the individual was transgender.
The judge applied international law to rule the alien could not be returned to Mexico because he might face persecution because of his gender identity. The judge then castigated the immigration officials in court for not using the proper pronoun to refer to the defendant.
So on the same day a federal judge threw a peaceful clerk in jail for following her Christian faith, another federal judge ordered the ICE to release a dangerous criminal illegal alien. This dichotomy was emblematic of a major problem Horowitz sees drawing near.
“I believe that we are reaching the final frontier of judicial tyranny,” Horowitz warned. “For years they’ve been codifying special privileges for protected classes, flipping unalienable rights on its head for protected classes of Americans. They’re now copying and pasting those rights to foreign nationals.”
This manifests itself, according to Horowitz, when judges rule in favor of birthright citizenship and counting illegal aliens in the census while ruling against common sense state voter ID laws.
“They are not only deciding every political and social question of our time that should be left to a legislature, they are preventing conservatives from even winning elections and having fair elections in the first place,” Horowitz said. “This is why I see this problem as pretty much the most imminent constitutional crisis we have to confront at this moment.”
Some conservatives believe all they need to do is elect a Republican president who will then appoint more conservative judges, but Horowitz views this as a fool’s errand.
For one thing, he said, it would take many years to replace enough liberal judges to make a serious difference, and Republican presidents do not have a great record anyway when it comes to appointing judges who turn out to be conservative.
Horowitz believes America has reached a point of no return and the only answer now is to strip the courts of jurisdiction over certain issues. This requires no new law or constitutional amendment because Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to exempt and regulate the jurisdiction of the courts.
If Congress would only stand up and exercise this power, it would change everything, according to Horowitz.
“So the notion that the courts could say, ‘A man is a woman now for purposes of state law; a marriage is not a marriage; you have to fund Planned Parenthood; you can’t regulate abortion clinics’ – they do not have the power to do that if Congress protects the states and simply says no, they do not have the power to adjudicate,” Horowitz declared.
Indeed, the notion that one district or circuit judge can redefine marriage or throw out an immigration law is silly, according to Horowitz, because Congress created those courts and has power over their jurisdiction. He acknowledged his book has opened many eyes to the way the judiciary is supposed to work.
“A lot of people actually thought the courts are the final arbiter of everything,” Horowitz said. “That’s what even conservatives are trained to think, and this is something that is so dangerous because … there’s got to be some sort of limit to it.”
“How do we allow this to stand for even one day when we have the authority to simply say the courts do not have jurisdiction over this issue?” Horowitz asked.
Horowitz lamented conservatives’ unwillingness to embrace drastic but necessary measures to save the American republic. Just as many rejected Levin’s suggestions in “The Liberty Amendments,” some have already rejected Horowitz’s suggestions in “Stolen Sovereignty.”
“This is not something foreign,” Horowitz reasoned. “We’re talking about pursuing constitutional remedies to combat unconstitutional coups throughout our government that the left has perpetrated for a hundred years, and our side says no to everything.”
Again, Horowitz warned simply appointing more conservative judges has been tried before, and it has failed to fix the systemic problems in the court system. In fact, he said having Congress restrict the courts’ jurisdiction is the one variable Americans have not yet explored. He recommends Congress at minimum strip the courts of jurisdiction over issues of sovereignty, most notably immigration.
Such a move would do far more than 10 to 12 years of Republican governance, Horowitz assured Levin’s audience.
“We need to do something now, and this notion that we’re going to continue banging our heads against the wall and just say, ‘Appoint better judges,’ this system is so flawed,” Horowitz insisted. “When we have this erroneous notion and we give in to the premise that the courts are not just a coequal branch to engage in judicial review, but they are above, they are the sole and final arbiter of every single important question of our time, we’ve lost our system of governance. It doesn’t matter; it doesn’t matter who wins the elections. I guarantee you – pick your favorite policy, why you want a Republican governor or president – that policy will be thrown out.”
