The Obama Administration's "Silent Coup"

  • πŸ’‘ Mark Levin recounts his initial reporting on what he terms an "Obama silent coup" against Donald Trump.
  • 🎯 This effort, Levin alleges, began during Trump's 2016 campaign and continued through his transition and early presidency, aiming to interfere with and destroy his presidency.
  • πŸ” Levin states he first broke this story on his radio show, using publicly available news reports to identify a pattern of executive overreach by the Obama administration.

Spying and FISA Warrants

  • πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ Levin asserts that the Obama administration engaged in spying on the Trump campaign, transition, and surrogates, not just President Trump's tweets about wiretapping.
  • πŸ“„ Evidence presented includes FISA court applications, with one denied in June 2016 and a second granted in October 2016 after being narrowed.
  • πŸ“° Reports from The Guardian and The Washington Post are cited, detailing FBI applications for warrants to monitor Trump campaign members with suspected ties to Russia.

Media Reporting and Obama's Knowledge

  • πŸ“° Levin highlights how mainstream media outlets like The New York Times and The Guardian reported on the FBI's investigation and the use of intercepted communications.
  • πŸ›οΈ He questions whether Barack Obama was aware of these actions, given that six federal agencies were involved and such activities would typically be part of a president's daily intelligence briefing.
  • πŸ—£οΈ Levin argues that if these actions had been taken against Obama, it would have caused a major scandal, and calls Trump the victim of these "police state tactics."

Hillary Clinton and the Steele Dossier

  • πŸ“§ The transcript details allegations that Hillary Clinton's campaign funded the Steele Dossier, a fabricated document used as a basis for the FBI's criminal investigation into Trump.
  • 🚫 It is claimed the FBI chose not to seek a FISA warrant for Clinton's campaign but used the dossier to pursue Trump.
  • πŸ›οΈ Levin suggests that Obama and his administration were aware of Clinton's involvement with the dossier and used it to target Trump instead.

Calls for Investigation

  • πŸ“œ Levin calls for the release of both FISA court applications and presidential intelligence briefings from the past year.
  • πŸ›οΈ He urges Republicans in Congress to proceed with investigations, even without Democratic support, to uncover the truth about the alleged actions.
  • πŸ“’ Public hearings are recommended to get to the bottom of these allegations and understand the extent of the Obama administration's involvement.
