Mark Levin: Rule barring indicting presidents can’t be defied — "We are the first and last line of defense for this country," Mark Levin said. "I don't care if you agree with this president on everything or not. They're trying to take him out, and it's our obligation to defend this man, and defend his office, and defend the presidency."

Constitutional lawyer and top ranked talk show host Mark Levin has sharply criticized the plea deal between former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and prosecutors in New York, calling it a “sleazy political and PR attack” on behalf of special prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Levin, using his popular Facebook platform, also said that the rule barring indicting presidents dates back to 1973 and cannot be ignored or defied by the Justice Department.
