[cytg111]

So we got wind that Hannity is a client of Michael Cohen

Of course Hannity is in full blown denial mode here

Yea I am sure it is all just one big coincidence Trump<>Cohen<>Hannity ..
Seth lines it up, I didnt connect the dots at first but its obvious when he states it..

Hannity needs to go and Fox has an enormous credibility(liable?) problem.
Let the heads roll please.

edit : But you have wonder, without Bannon or Hannity, who will advice the POTUS on policy?

edit2 : Topic allready being discussed in "F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen".. feel free to close this one.

Hannity says Cohen was never on retainer and he was never billed and there's no invoices, therefore Cohen wasn't his attorney. If Hannity is lying wouldn't that be easily proven given the documents the Feds seized? Hannity might actually be correct.

Edit: Seems Hannity told a blatant lie, now he says he might have paid Cohen $10 and requested attorney client privilege. Whew lad.

Hannity go? Hannity no! Hannity never!


I say: Hannity today, Hannity tomorrow, Hannity forever!

Fox hasn’t got the integrity to fire him...see Laura Ingrahm

 

[IronWing]

<shrug> Fox would just replace him with someone just as awful. Until the viewers turn off the TV, Fox will be Fox.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

You think Hannity needs to go because of his BUSINESS connections? WTF?

""I might have handed him 10 bucks, I definitely wanted attorney-client privilege on this, something like that" @seanhannity on his relationship with #MichaelCohen"

If you dont pick em off one by one .. what are you gonna do? Be a few good men doing nothing?

Fox News has to fire Hannity. You can't have a host who interviews his own lawyer on TV without disclosing it, and who interviews a politician he's regularly advising on policy without disclosing it, and not become state television rather than a "news outlet" measured by Nielsen.

State run propaganda ... sorry: Stupid state run propaganda.. .Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Trump was screwing Stormy for $130,000. God only knows WHAT Hannity was doing to Trump.
And.... for what price?
Holy Moley Louise.
"Fake news you say"? Sean... I think we found it!
Cheap whores? Jumping Jehoshaphat, there be gold in them thar Fox hills.
And apparently, Hannity is as cheap as they come.
Ok, ok. We hear rumors of sex tapes between Stormy and Donald Trump.
The real question is.... are we ready for the sex tapes between Hannity and Donald T?
Oh the horrors.

Some say Hannity needs to go. MUST GO.
I disagree.
I'd rather watch Hannity stay right where he is, re-explaining his story hourly and minute by minute.
And with each explanation, a totally different story.

THIS is entertainment. Who? wants this to quit?
Reality TV doesn't get much better than this.
And here we have the most infamous reality TV host of them all. Donald Trump.
I want to know from Trump supporters, those that actually voted for this clunk....
WHAT did you expect?

I don't want to see Hannity lose his show because PR/corporate decisions. I want to see Hannity lose his show because he gets handcuffed and thrown in jail.

Yea its super funny... It is! Stupid people doing crappy things to other people getting caught with their small small hands in the cookie jar.. But I will contest that summing it all up its more sad than fun. Flush em down the pipe I say.

I don't want to see Hannity lose his show because PR/corporate decisions. I want to see Hannity lose his show because he gets handcuffed and thrown in jail.

- Yea that too .. But then there is the whole martyrdom concept.. I dont know.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Poor Hannity.

 

[Younigue]

So what's Fox's next move? Declare themselves State television?

 

[soundforbjt]

I wonder if his writers are getting overtime to rewrite tonight’s show?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Looks like the journalist world is going to hold his feet to the fire over this glaring conflict of interest.

http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/16/media/sean-hannity-conflicts-of-interest/index.html

Stelter: Sean Hannity has few rules, and now Fox News has a problem

Still, Fox will still have to address these issues. A network spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the matter on Monday.

Monday's disclosure demonstrates just how tight-knit the pro-Trump media world is. Not only does Hannity advise Trump, not only does Trump promote Hannity's show, not only does Hannity attack Trump's critics -- Hannity and Trump even share the same lawyer.

Cohen is one kind of Trump protector, Hannity is another kind.

Hannity is downplaying the extent of the lawyer-client relationship between himself and Cohen. On his radio show Monday afternoon, he said he has "eight" different lawyers, and that he never paid Cohen any legal fees.

"I never retained him in the traditional sense as retaining a lawyer; I never received an invoice from Michael; I never paid legal fees to Michael, but I have, occasionally, had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective," Hannity said on the radio.

But even according to Hannity's account, he was taking free legal advice from someone on the president's payroll.

Hannity has not disclosed that fact during his on-air discussions about Cohen.

In the television news business on Monday, reporters and producers exchanged "can you believe this?" emails and texts.

Hannity's detractors pounced right away.

Simon Maloy of the anti-Fox group Media Matters tweeted: "Pause for a moment to reflect upon what one Sean Hannity might do with news that an MSNBC personality had hidden a relationship with a Clinton attorney under criminal investigation."

Even a fellow Fox host, Juan Williams, raised this issue on the network's 5 p.m. talk show "The Five" Monday evening.

"The question for me is why Sean didn't disclose this earlier," Williams said.

But Fox sometimes asserts that Hannity plays by different rules. While "News" is in the Fox name, Hannity proudly says he's not a journalist. In fact, he likes to say journalism is "dead."

Fox treats the 9 p.m. "Hannity" talk show -- and many of its other high-rated shows -- as opinion products, not newscasts.

Some of the standards that apply to Shep Smith and Bret Baier definitely do not apply to Hannity.

But Hannity, an entertainer at heart, blurs the lines all the time -- for example by calling his show "real news" and by asserting that he has anonymous sources.

Now it's even blurrier.​

You know, I do find it useful going to r/conservative just to get an idea of what the other side is thinking

And honestly, even if hannity has been represented by this guy in the past, so what? At most there is a slight conflict of interests considering Hannity's reporting on him. But that's not illegal or really even a big deal. This looks like another case of the left reaching for something they believe is a magic bullet to take down someone on the right.

nothingburger confirmed. but her emails though

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

couldn't happen to a nicer twatwaffle

 

[Jhhnn]

It's remarkable to me that Hannity apparently hadn't even considered what to say if it were revealed that Cohen had done work for him of any sort. He should have known that the possibility existed when Cohen's records were seized. Oblivious, and it shows in his bullshit improvisations.

Sean isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
