Longtime conservative commentator and veteran constitutional scholar Mark Levin called on former President Donald Trump to seek immediate intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court after he was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a highly questionable Manhattan case.
“I'll say this; no crime, no jurisdiction, no due process, conflicted judge, Soros prosecutor, Manhattan jury. You know, I'm going to tell you something,” Levin told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“I've spent most of my legal career, not as a former federal prosecutor, although I served as a chief of staff to an attorney general, I've spent most of my legal career fighting these people, suing the federal government, the DOJ, the IRS, the Treasury Department, the EPA, suing campaigns, fighting over voting rights laws and so forth,” he continued. “And one thing I don't think our audience understands, and you need to understand, we have too many lawyers who are risk-averse, too many lawyers who will whine and complain. I have spent 40 years sitting down with people who put on legal brass knuckles and take these bastards on in court. I'm at the appellate and Supreme Court level. That's where my focus has been my entire career.”

Levin then urged former President Trump to seek out an immediate appeal at both the state and federal level.
“We need to stop whining about how long that's going to take. Seek any emergency, immediate appeal that you possibly can. That's one lane. And the other lane is to try like hell to get to the Supreme Court,” an animated Levin stated. “People say, 'well, they're not going to take it.' You know what? If George Patton was said, 'I don't think I can get to the battle of the bulge in time,' we would have lost World War II. I am sick and tired of these legal defeatists.”
“We need to stop whining, stop complaining. We know what the hell we're up against. It's not news. It's a fact. We got to fight these people with our smarts. We have to take some risks. We need to push the edge of the envelope,” Levin continued before listing examples.
The former Reagan DOJ official pointed to the Bush v. Gore case from the 2000 election as one potential example.
Levin previously reported on a plan advanced by former Supreme Court clerk Arthur Fergenson, who served under the late Chief Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger. Both Levin and Fergenson have urged Trump's legal team to review previous cases in order to allow the Supreme Court to take up the case from a state level appelate court.
