Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” conservative talker Mark Levin made the case President Donald Trump was justified in his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey a day earlier. Levin hammered one of the biggest critics of that decision, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), but not before criticizing media pundits for what he deemed to be their legal and historical illiteracy. Partial transcript as follows: First of all, the president didn’t order an end to the Russian investigation. Now, we have a lot of legal and historical illiterates posing as TV hosts and commentators, like Jeffrey Toobin and among others. Let me be very specific.

But of course, the media and the Democrats, one in the same — want it to deal with
