Fox News host Mark Levin went ballistic for over seven minutes last night to Sean Hannity after Trump was indicted by the special counsel.

Levin was screaming that Trump was charged with “process crimes” and how dare they hold him accountable!!!

Where a president of the United States or a former president faces a hundred years in federal prison? Is this some kind of a sick joke on the American people?

I don't want to hear from the legal analysts the technicalities about false statements and obstruction.

This should never have been a criminal case.

Willful retention of documents.

Well what's the unwillful retention of documents mean?

They're throwing all these process crimes and all these crimes to grow out of the criminal investigation against Trump.

What did he do with the documents?

Did he sell them to the enemy?

No!

That's why we have an Espionage Act, not the trick of a president.

What did he do?

Did he burn them all?

No!

The government has all the documents back.

So there is no violation of the Presidential Records Act at this point.

But they throw the book at him?

They go after his attorneys.

They make them testify.

They're attorneys under the crime fraud exception to attorney-client privilege.

That means he didn't have due process.

His own lawyers were being subjected to interrogations and they had hundreds of in-person people testifying in front of grand juries.

Thousands of collections of documents.

For what?

For what?

And they indict him today?

They indict him today in Miami?

All of a sudden it's in Miami?

All of a sudden we have a Florida grand jury?

This Attorney General who pretends he's Helen Keller, he made the decision to indict the former president and they made the decision to interfere in this election.

You want to talk about an insurrection?

This is an insurrection.

And that's exactly what's going on here.

I bet Levin had practiced much of what he spewed on Fox News beforehand since most Trump supporters and media minions already figured out that Trump would be indicted.

The former guy made so many admissions of guilt in so many of his interviews that it was hard to fathom he would have dodged the special counsel.

Levin's act was his best attempt at performance grievances he could muster.

And, of course, there's this.
