Fox News Hannity exposed in court as Cohen client

[TheVictors]

okay, now pay me.

I paid you exactly one big Thumbs Up

 

[Michchamp]

So if Hannity expected privilege, that may be sufficient for that part of the question.

yes.

if they found something against Hannity in the search, and charged him based on that, he'd have a strong argument to quash the evidence in court

although if they were planning criminal activities or to commit fraud, that wouldn't be privileged anyway, so...

I guess, lessons:

- don't hire a Cooley law grad to be your attorney

- don't sleep with porn stars, then run for president, while claiming to be a devoted husband

- If you do, don't pay hush money; and definitely not out of campaign funds!

- In fact, just own it. Admit that you wanted to sleep with a skank with bad fake boobs, and went out and paid her to make it happen. You're that kind of guy. Embrace it.

I could shoot a guy in Times Square, but these Playboy models are all conspiring against me.

 

[Michchamp]

as they say "It's not the crime, it's the cover up."

 

[turok]

Hannity has had another of Trump's attys in Jay Sekulow on as a guest on his shows, and made it known that he hired him as his own atty. Cohen's letter argued that exposing the name of the third client could be embarrassing.

To whom?

Hannity?

Cohen?

oh, wait...Both...lol!!

If Hannity insists he's not a journalist, most of this anaylist's analysis doesn't really stick. Even if it's in line with Russian propaganda, if you don't deny pushing propaganda, then what are the odds viewers are going to have a problem with these revelations?

 

[Spartanmack]

I fail to see what Hannity having Cohen as a lawyer has to do with Russia, Trump or even Stormy.

absolutely nothing - they're just trying to create smoke so stupid people will think there's a fire.

I think they know there's no connection to Trump and Russia interfering in the election (which we now know actually had zero impact on the election) so they're getting more unjustified warrants, raiding Cohen's office to get as much information on Trump as they can. And when it turns out to be another dead end on Russia and the election, they can leak any unrelated dirt on Trump's finances or personal life to the public in an attempt to further discredit him. the whole thing is now a circus sideshow.

I've heard about this Schindler guy before. he's a doofus..
but still... ouch! he really does not like Hannity or Fox News, or Julian Assange... weird.

At no point did Hannity disclose his relationship with Cohen, whatever it was. This is a serious ethical lapse, no matter how you look at it, and no matter how many times Hannity insists he is “not a journalist,” he works for Fox News, which claims in its very title to be a news organization, not a mere propaganda outfit.​

never mind that it's nothing more than baseless speculation.

how about we wait until something substantive comes out before we try to end someone's career?

personally, I don't care about Russia.

I am curious whether Cohen paying hush money to porn stars/prostitutes was a crime, possibly depending on the source of the funds.

and if he did threaten to murder her and her kid, or whatever, that could be a crime as well. though not a very serious one.

it's not "nothing" either way though, since Republicans made the sex lives of our elected officials public business.

Every Right-wing Christian who condemned Bill Clinton for his behavior, but voted for Trump is a shameless hypocrite. That's beyond a doubt, even for someone like you, right?

something substantive? but this is Sean Hannity we're talking about. when did he ever wait for "something substantive" before running his big mouth?

 

[Michchamp]

I have a hard time taking people seriously when they're open about the fact that their estimation of a person's worth is due solely to whether or not they're playing for Team Republican at the moment.

See, e.g. all the Republitards attacking Comey right now, after cheering for him all through November 2016

 

[TheVictors]

lol ...how is anything that has come out since yesterdays' court ordered disclosure an attempt to "ruin someone's career" anyways?

it is what it is ...it's not like this development is shocking. The nonsense with Trump has been looked at for a while and Hannity has always been involved. He's the epitome of Fox Opinion and spin. I have no doubt he's just a propaganda machine who has laundered money and stuck his dick places that got him in trouble.

 

[TheVictors]

If the "whole thing" is a circus sideshow then what is the main show? It's all Trump and as president he's breaking laws left and right in terms of personal benefit and benefit to his companies. He's doing at least half of the things he whined and bitched and accused Clinton of doing and is brazen about it.

As if the investigation is just some vendetta to get him because he's a crass jackass. Nobody else in the white house would be facing the situation because it's all Trump.

I came across Schindler's Twitter feed by accident last night, while reading another tweet online. For over a year, I have been searching for and reading about anything that I can find on the reclusive Bob and Bekah Mercer, who I consider to be one of the top perps in Tsar Trumpov's "selection" as anti-POTUS, This began shortly after he blurted out in a campaign speech that the election would be rigged if he lost. Since Dimwitted Donnie Dinkydigits, like many of his alt-right succubus spokesgobblins, are so fond of hypocritically projecting onto Democrats, what they themselves are prone to doing, I knew right then that one or more of his campaign officers, such as Conway, Miller, and/or Bannon, had told him that they had rigged the selection to be tilted more in HIS favor.

I don't believe that Russia was able to hack our election machines, but I do believe that Putin's Cosshackers were deeply involved with Cambridge Analytica/SCL Group LLC in combining/merging mined social profile data to use in targeting vulnerable FB members and posting anti-HRC propaganda in online social websites like Reddit, Breitbart, Huffpo and the like. Many attempted to coax other members to read pro-Trump/anti-HRC links or vote for the Green Party candidate Stein. Those who used G+ or Disqus handles in general, had newer registrations and lower postcounts with locked profiles. If their profiles weren't locked, then their posting histories invariably showed nothing else except posts involving being anti-HRC or pro-Trump. Normally, most members' posting histories would involve a myriad of other posts and replies about other topics and subjects, whether political or not.

I don't watch his show, read his books, follow him on twitter or anything else so I can't answer that.

While I'm not surprised he isn't your cup of tea, I am surprised that you haven't been exposed to his nonsense at all. Basically he's the right's version of Tim Russert or Mike Wallace. He's a party before country/principles kind of guy. Similar to Bill O'Reilly.

Basically the reason it's such a big deal is because he's a pretty hated dude and people want to watch the guy burn. This was like a cherry on a delicious sundae for most people.

What?

He's the right's version of Ed Schultz or Keith Olberman.

Obviously I've seen him on TV and heard him on the radio from time to time over the years; I even used to watch his show with Alan Colmes before Colmes was "reassigned."

To be fair, other famous and insignificant talking heads like Whoopie Goldberg, Michael Moore, Howard Stern, Don Imus and Bob Beckel seem to like Hannity personally.

Good for them all, I guess.

Personally I don't like his delivery.

Politics notwithstanding, he seems like he's generally pissed off.

Like Ed Schultz and Keith Olberman.

Wasn't Colmes Fox's token Democrat for a while?

I don't know Ed Schultz. I feel like Olberman has had plenty of anti Democrat moments, I can't think of many (if any) from Hannity.
