Mark Levin's McCabe tweet is hilarious. And pathetic.

It seems that fired FBI honcho Andrew McCabe took notes and memos of his interactions with President Trump, a reasonable precaution in dealing with a vindictive and unscrupulous person not exactly notorious for his honesty.  And he has turned them over to Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

I can't help but be amused by the reaction of conservative columnist turned Trump sycophant Mark Levin, who- apparently very much aware of the possibility that the notes and memos might contain things damaging to the president- wants to know whether McCabe is trying to "blackmail" Mr. Trump by taking a reasonable precaution that's pretty much standard in government and business when the details of a meeting might be in dispute later.

I wonder whether Levin realizes that his question makes the president, rather than McCabe, look bad. Even his supporters apparently are worried about what Mr. Trump might say or do!

And the hell of it is that the president's status as a loose cannon- a person who, in any given situation, might say or do almost anything, regardless of the potential consequences- is a large part of the reason why it worries some of us that he is privy to every secret the nation has, is its final arbiter of policy, and even has his finger on the nuclear button.

On one hand, the surreal trip down the rabbit hole that is the Trump administration and the abject willingness of people like Mr. Levin and other Republicans to surrender every ounce of intellectual integrity in order to defend him even at his most indefensible is amusing. But it's also frightening. I've always thought well of Mark Levin and this incident makes it clear that he's just not seeing things clearly. To wonder whether McCabe wants to blackmail the president because he documented their meetings isn't just paranoid. It seems quite clearly to indicate that Levin is very much aware of how likely it is that a record of any meeting involving Mr. Trump will include evidence of bizarre or even incriminating behavior. He might as well have come out and said, "Hey, I know my guy is unstable, has no filters, and is ethically challenged. I know that a man with the emotional maturity of a sixth-grader has his finger on the button. So anybody who tries to document what he says and does must by definition be out to get him!"
