Two associates of Rudy Giuliani’s arrested for a campaign finance conspiracy earlier this month were on their way to help with a planned interview between Fox News’ Sean Hannity and former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, they told others.
Lock him up, lock them all up
“Sean Hannity takes the first amendment seriously.”
Indeed he does. He’s incapable of reporting the truth, so if that’s what he had to rely on, he’d go broke.
“hey sean if anyone asks we were in Vienna with you”
Well the Shadow Chief of Staff Hannity was just doing his job as Trump’s biggest conspiracy theory shill.
I hope the last day Trump is in office is also the last day we see or hear from Sean Hannity.
I’m going to need a flow chart to figure all this shit out. But the good part is there are so many overlapping schemes and players, they all won’t be able to tell the same lies. Off with their heads!
When I saw this last night, I was happy to see that, as expected, Sean Hannity has also played a part in this tragi-comedy currently running in America. They’re all involved and guilty of something.
Bill Barr went to see Rupert the night these two were arrested, and I’ll bet Hannity came up in conversation, but since no one trusts Bill Barr, I’m not sure what was said.
So, of course, they bought one-way tickets.
It does seem all rather incestuous, no?
Of course Sorkin would be interviewed. It’s a brilliant move, from a pro-Trump perspective.
Given this narrow denial, it would be more likely than not that Barr knew of Firtash’s effort to use Shokin’s claim that he was unfairly targeted and encouraged John Durham to reach out to Shokin, to say nothing of several other pieces of disinformation Rudy has been floating.
What is absolutely certain, though, is that DOJ’s narrow denial in no way denies that Barr’s wild goose chase has incorporated materials that Rudy obtained as a result of the extortion attempt with Ukraine.

The news that Hannity was only saved from being a part of this influence operation by the arrest of two of its key players is news enough. But it dramatically changes the import of this news — that the night before this interview was scheduled, and after meeting with SDNY that same day, and probably after the grifters had been arrested as they tried to leave the country, the Attorney General of the United States had a meeting with Rupert Murdoch at the latter’s home.
What did Barr say to Murdoch. Did Barr tip Murdoch off about Hannity’s exposure?
ETA. The feds were monitoring 12! Cell phones, presumably Giuliani’s among them.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebekah Donaleski told Oetken that evidence in the case that will need to be turned over to the defense was “quite voluminous.” She mentioned about 50 bank accounts and more than a dozen cell phones that were monitored in some fashion, as well as search warrants and subpoenas.
All this crap is so Nixonian.
I’d like to watch Hannity disappear before our eyes while his asshole puckers up so tight it dissolves him completely.
Have Hannity ask Michael Cohen about “taking a bullet” for Trump.
Hmmmm…just traveling and NOT fleeing with a one way ticket?
Nixonian on acid.
How many other Hannity interviews were these two brought in to help with?
None. An excuse of 'We were going to Vienna to shop for our prom dresses." would have been more believable.
I don’t understand how either of these bozos can claim they’re part of a legal team of any sort. Neither of them are attorneys as far as I know. How can they or others on their behalf make that silly claim that they have executive privilege due to that claim?
It’s not a coincidence that Hannity was one of only three clients of Cohen…
I love the photo of Igor showing up at court wearing an American Flag lapel pin.
So much patriotism!
