Mississippi Senate candidate Chris McDaniel will be on Mark Levin's show this week, May 20-23

.
Mark Levin endorsed Chris McDaniel on Feb. 19, 2014, and has invited him on the show again this week, notes he's doing well in the polls. Perhaps in desperation, McDaniel's opponent Thad Cochran withheld information from police for at least two weeks about a break-in at his wife's nursing home until closer to the election.

5/19/14, "Thad Campaign and NRSC Had Weeks to Coordinate McDaniel Attack," Erick Erickson, RedState

"Well, well, well. The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s staff has been all over the internet blaming Chris McDaniel for some nut job videotaping Mrs. Cochran.

What’s more, they claimed that no one knew anything about anything other than the McDaniel campaign.

But now we know they’re lying.

Thad Cochran’s campaign knew about it for at least two weeks.

It’s unclear why Cochran’s attorney, Don Clark, held the information for two weeks before alerting police. Clark did not respond to a request for comment.
Maybe because they needed a couple of weeks to get everything set with the NRSC [and the media] to coordinate their attack and blame campaign on Chris McDaniel."

5/19/14, "Cochran campaign knew of wife's taping for weeks," The Hill, Alexandra Jaffe

"Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) legal team apparently held onto information concerning a man’s taping of the senator’s bedridden wife for as many as two weeks before turning it over to the police.

Cochran’s campaign spokesman, Jordan Russell, told The Hill Monday that the campaign was made aware of a video allegedly taken by local political blogger Clayton Kelly of Cochran’s infirm wife on the day it was posted, April 26....

Cochran’s lawyer brought the information to the Madison, Miss., Police Department on Thursday of last week [May 15]. Kelly was arrested Friday, and local newspaper The Clarion-Ledger broke the news of the case’s connection to Rose Cochran on Saturday....
.
Don Clark, Cochran's lawyer, said that his firm, Butler Snow, for which Cochran supporter and former Gov. Haley Barbour also works, investigated the situation and assessed their options before turning the details over to the police."...
