Article by Elizabeth Vaughn in "RedState":
Radio and television host (and attorney) Mark Levin lit the Democrats
on fire on Halloween night. I absolutely love this man! He is, as Sean
Hannity says, the Great One.
Levin begins by demanding to know what crime has the President
committed, a question that no Democrat can actually answer. They’ll
point to their duty to uphold the constitution and lament our lawless
President. They have no choice, they’ll quickly add. They are certainly
not happy having to perform this solemn duty, you understand, but it is
their duty.
They know they’re lying and everyone listening knows they’re lying,
yet they don’t get called out on it because they are supported by a
complicit media.
Levin clearly lays out the facts in his inimitable style, not as an apologist for President Trump, but as a lawyer.
The whistleblower’s complaint has put the spotlight on the staff of
the National Security Council which seems to be filled with Obama
holdovers. Levin calls it a rat’s nest. I call it a minefield.
Everywhere Trump turns, it seems, unexpected enemies lurk. The vast
number of people involved in what truly has been a soft coup against the
President is what’s made it so difficult to prosecute. They all have a
vested interest in covering for each other.
As I see it, there are two forces that can stop it. The first would
be indictments of those responsible for orchestrating this farce. We
know that Durham’s investigation has turned criminal. That doesn’t just
happen out of the blue. Durham’s team has clearly found evidence of a
crime. But, as much faith as I have in the Durham team, weary
Republicans (like me) need to see something concrete right about now.
Trump keeps getting knocked down by the Democrats. And it’s gone on for so long. He needs a win. We need a win.
The other force would be the American electorate. Trump has retained
most of his support. But are there enough independents, or even moderate
Democrats, who see this farce for what it is and who oppose the changes
the Democrats are trying to thrust upon the country? One would think
so, but until something definitive happens, until someone is actually
held responsible for the greatest fraud ever perpetrated in history, we
can’t be too sure.
Here is a (nearly complete) transcript of Levin’s remarks. But I recommend spending five minutes to watch the video below!
1. What exactly is the impeachable issue here? The Ukrainian
President said no pressure, no quid pro quo. He didn’t even know
military aid was temporarily withheld. The President has every right to
temporarily withhold military aid for any damn reason he wants to and
it’s been done before by other presidents. We have the phone call
itself. The President declassified it. You can’t find a single tie
between military aid and requests for the 2016 investigation. And even
if you do, it’s perfectly legal. But there isn’t. There isn’t.
Now, you can’t ask the Ukrainian government to assist you in the 2016
criminal investigation that’s being led by your Attorney General and
U.S. Attorney Durham? Of course you can – even though it might get to
the bottom of the Hillary campaign and the DNC that worked with Ukraine
in the Obama Administration. First, the United States is free to do that
and if he did do that, good for him.
You can’t mention the Bidens? Why? Because Joe Biden is running for office for the 412th time?
Well, Mueller got assistance from 13 governments in his special
counsel investigation and I don’t remember hearing a single complaint
from anybody. Just because he’s running for office doesn’t mean he’s
immune from investigation and the President of the United States said it
as passively as possible. Meanwhile, Ukraine got the military aid and
the Bidens are still running free. Now you want to talk about
interfering with an election. Biden is interfering with an election. He
supports impeaching the President. Doesn’t that help his election? The
Democrats are interfering with an election. That’s the whole purpose of
what they’re doing. They’re trying to reverse the 2016 election and
influence the 2020 election. How do I know? This is the first time in
American history a process like this, so bastardizing the impeachment
clause, has ever been used against a president, a federal judge or any
official of the United States government.
So, there’s no issue of impeachment, high crimes, misdemeanors,
treason, bribery, no issue of criminality when it comes to the
President, so what’s the issue?
2. We have found the rat’s nest. It’s in the National Security
Council. The whistleblower, according to a number of reports as you’ve
been seeing, comes from the National Security Council, an Obama
holdover, a Democrat, somebody who worked with Biden, somebody who
worked with Brennan. An Obama holdover who didn’t like Trump. who met
with one of the active figures in the Ukraine effort to undermine the
President of the U.S. in 2016. We have two others who now were hired by
Schiff, Obama holdovers, who were in the National Security Council. Now
they work for Schiff and how much do you want to bet one of them was the
one he colluded with. And, of course, Schiff doesn’t want to know
anything about it. You want to know why the President of the United
States has had trouble bringing his own people into the National
Security Council and getting clearances? Now you know why. Because it
was a rat’s nest.
By the way, I think U.S. Attorney Durham and the Attorney General of
the United States ought to have an investigation of these three National
Security Council former staffers. What role, if any, did they have in
the Ukraine 2016 matter interfering with the election? What role did
they have pushing the Russian collusion matter? Were they leakers? I
think the criminal investigation, the hell with Schiff, they ought to
get into these three and find out exactly what they did and there may be
more of them…
3. Adam Schiff, you are a key fact material witness. You hired those
two Obama staffers. Your staffers, or one of them, met with the former
National Security staffer to the President of the United States. You’re
trying to protect your staffers. You’re trying to protect this phony
whistleblower and you’re trying to protect the Democrats from 2016 and
what they tried to do to candidate Trump. It’s all in Politico, it’s all
in the New York Times even though they don’t want to admit it.
Now Donald Trump’s been investigated by the SDNY, the special
counsel, multiple Congressional committees, etc…But, Joe Biden, whoa!
You can’t interfere with the election. Joe Biden’s running for office
again…You’re not allowed to look at Joe Biden. That’s interfering with a
foreign election.
And by the way, you can’t ask foreign governments for help? Well, how
do you get help in investigating somebody when the events occurred
overseas. The FBI does this all the time. We investigate people for
drugs, embezzlement, money laundering with the assistance of foreign
governments all the time.
4. Why do the Democrats keep lying? Here’s what they passed today. 7 1/2 pages of BS.
Here’s what they did in 1998. A long discussion of the President’s
rights. The President has a right to counsel, to cross examine, to have
his own witnesses.
You know what they said today. The Chair of the Committee on Rules
including such procedures has to allow for the participation of the
President and his counsel. How do they get to participate? We don’t
know. This is the biggest, disgusting scandal and it’s all on the
Democratic party that has hijacked the impeachment process and our tax
dollars to push the 2020 election. That’s what’s going on.
