House Intel Memo Vindicates Breitbart News, Mark Levin, Donald Trump
Big Journalism ^ | 2/2/18 | Joel Pollack

Posted on 02/03/2018 9:21:13 AM PST by markomalley

Politicians and pundits are debating the memorandum released Friday by the House Intelligence Committee, which suggests that the FBI used the dubious products of Democrats’ opposition research to obtain a warrant to spy on a Trump associate.

But no one is debating the fact that the surveillance took place, and there is now evidence that it was politically motivated — which vindicates Breitbart News, radio host Mark Levin, and President Trump himself.

On March 2, 2016, Levin noted mainstream media reports that suggested that law enforcement and intelligence agencies had conducted surveillance of Trump associates during the last months of the Obama administration. He also noted President Barack Obama had taken the unusual step of allowing surveillance reports to be disseminated more widely within the government, which made it more likely that details would be leaked to sympathetic media.

Levin criticized what he called “police state” tactics by the Obama administration, and speculated that the agencies might have been involved in a “silent coup” to undermine the incoming Trump administration, which was loathed by official Washington.

Many of us are still well aware of Levin’s behavior throughout the election and throughout most of Trump’s first year as President. It’s sort of ludicrous to try and hitch Levin’s wagon to Trump for credit during this shameful episode of his. He was not a Trump supporter up until fairly recently, and quite frankly I’m expecting him to fall off the wagon again. His ego is just too big to admit he could ever have been so colossally wrong.

Agreed. Mark was way late to board the Trump Train.

All this is true and I remember it well
that being said Mr. LeVan has a very very good radio show that’s worth listening to as he is the main person that covers the deeper issues such as the constitutional convention if necessary and constitutional conservatism
His background also as Meeses his Chief of Staff means that he has serious credentials and his legal organization author has serious credentials the landmark legal foundation there is no question about it
I said before and I’ll say it again if you can do a radio show like Levin Hannity Rush Savage and the others you definitely know your shit

How gullible does he think people are, trying to invent an alternate history wherein he was not the arch-NeverTrumper but instead a supporter? Maybe he’s right, he’s been playing this game for a long time. The entire establishment firmly believed Trump would never be President, and once elected believed he would not be for long. Now we know why, and Levin played a part in it by pushing the narrative. I’m not in a forgiving mood and he’s an arrogant SOB.

Omitted Hannity’s name. He was more on top of this than Levin was.

Levin is not on board the Trump Train. He is on the conservative, coonstitutional train. If you bothered listening to him regularly, he spports Trump about 90% of the time. The other 10%? When President Trump picks up a liberal cause and runs with it.

I think Hannity should be on that list too.

Levin is on the Levin train and it’s lost a lot of cars.

There were allot of reasons to be skeptical with Trump. This last year Trump has delivered more for conservatives than any President ever, possibly including Reagan.

Trump is so very different in the way he controls the moment, and without a policy track record, it was difficult to comprehend what he was up to. Maybe even harder for a "smart" guy like Levin.

Hannity was definitely more on top of this, than Levin, or MANY of the other Johnny-come-lately NeverTrumpers ever were.

I think Hannity had distanced himself from his very close friend Levin, over Levin’s rabid antiTrumpness, for a while. I saw Levin, on Hannity’s show, recently. But...there’s wasn’t the previous warm, friendly, jocular back and forth, between the two.

Levin is not on board the Trump Train. He is on the conservative, constitutional train.

If you're not on the Trump Train at this point, you're aiding and abetting the Enemy. Mark Levin has been supporting President Trump for quite some time now—certainly since the summer of 2017, when some of this seditious FISA information was revealed.

Levin pretty much cleaned up his #NeverTrump act within a few months of President Trump's inauguration, and he's been defending the President against the criminal Swamp for practically a year now.

With respect to changing attitudes regarding President Trump, Ben Shapiro now is pretty much in the same place. More and more honest former #NeverTrumpers are becoming aware of what's at stake in this struggle with the Deep State and Swamp.

As I mentioned—seeing what has been going on with this attempted coup against a duly elected President— anyone who doesn't throw their support behind President Trump wholeheartedly is simply un-patriotic, anti-American, and doesn't care about the preservation of this Republic.

The American Presidency must be defended fiercely—from the likes of former President Obama, the Clintons, the Deep State, Democrats, and their criminal ilk—and the current occupant of the Oval Office is Donald J. Trump. Therefore, President Trump must be defended. It's as simple as that. Anything less is de facto support for the treasonous coup which is still in the process of undermining our entire Constitutional system.
