It's not like he's a real journalist or anything. He's an entertainer. The same label all of the RWNJ's ascribe to themselves when they need to wiggle off the hook.
The entire real world knows that this was nothing more than a trumped up allegation meant to stir up and confuse the masses. It's overt propaganda, and yet the mouthpiece has been oddly overlooked over the weekend.
Mark Levin: where in the HELL did you come up with the Obama wiretap story?

The FBI and five other law enforcement and intelligence agencies have collaborated for months in an investigation into Russian attempts to influence the November election, including whether money from the Kremlin covertly aided President-elect Donald Trump, two people familiar with the matter said.
The agencies involved in the inquiry are the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department, the Treasury Departments Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and representatives of the director of national intelligence, the sources said.

Of course, Clapper (& Comey a bit) deny outright that there were any FISA warrants issued. So that kills the 1st 2 reports (and makes them seem like "fake news"...BBC, Guardian, Mensch).
