Hannity lamented the âwild speculationâ from the âmainstream mediaâ
LOL.
These recordings are going to be awesome. I hope Sean didnât know he was being taped.
there is a BIGGER story here. Hannity directely contradicted Cohenâs lawyers last night.
Hannity, last night .âI never asked Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalfâ
Steve Ryan (Cohenâs lawyer) in court yesterday:
âThe client was contacted over the weekend, and asked that we not disclose their name. And further, that we take an appeal if the Court was going to make that name public.â
The judge is NOT going to be happy about thisâŚ

BUSTED! Even by the Trumper Douche-owitz!
The reason the adage that âthe coverup is worse than the crimeâ is a thing is because concealment is instinctively recognized as awareness of culpability. He knew if he said there was a legal relationship between him and Cohen, even as a FalseNews host it would have at least slightly undermined his credibility as a sycophantic toady. So at least that, but Cohen isnât a guy with a real practice, nor is he a guy you go to for aboveboard legal advice, whether itâs girlfriend trouble orâgods forbidââreal estate.â
He then echoed his statement from earlier in the day, telling Fox News viewers that he had âoccasional brief conversationsâ with Cohen about legal questions, mostly involving real estate.
Then what would be your objection fuckwad?
Certainly there wernât any shady deals discussed and you should welcome the exoneration the seized material would provide
OR NOT
As a matter of fact yesterday was the first time Cohen had seen the inside of a courtroom
Yet another obituary for irony.
Has anyone ever had a brief conversation about a business decision with an attorney? The point is to get advice so that you can make an informed decision, isnât it? I wonder what Hannityâs definition of âbriefâ is.
What difference does that make to the judge?
I bet whatever recordings the prosecutors have arenât really Hannity, just like that really wasnât Trumpâs voice on the Access Hollywood recording. They can fake that stuff, you know. They use crisis actors who are in between fake crisis gigs. Alex Jones will blow the lid off this tonight.
So much we donât know - and the conflicting stories per Cohenâs lawyers and Hannity are likely to guarantee that we will know much more about this âclient-relationshipâ ⌠probably in pretty short order.
~pointing at Hannity~ HA HA!
This crowd may not be good at much else, but they sure as hell are good at making themselves look guilty of something.
He claims of a right to privacy. But he also has a right to lie, mislead and be morally corrupt which he embraces as a fundamental truth.
I think this is a case of Dumb and Dumber outwitting themselves. I can see it now: Cohen whines to Hannity about having to give the court a client list, and he can only come up with two names. Hannity says, âwell, gosh, Michael, you and I have had off-the-cuff legal conversations â tell the court you have three clients, but donât give them my name.â âoooh â good idea, Sean, yeah, thanks, man.â
Now the courtâs making Cohen disclose the names, too â so his lawyer does. And Hannity, who just thought he was helping out his bud, is now all over the news and everyoneâs wondering what Cohen âreallyâ did for him.
So, whatâs he do? Tells the media that no, Cohen didnât represent him, they just had a coupla chats now and again about real estate.
Avenatti seems to think that, no, Hannity has something to hide, and thatâs why he didnât want his name out there. Itâs not that I think Hannity doesnât have things to hide, but honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think this is a case of no good deed (yeah, tell âem you have three clients) going unpunished.
When combined with a collective IQ that would make a better golf score, I think you have a recipe for the slapstick that followed yesterdayâs hearing. One more player and they can reprise the Stooges.
Speculation aside, what Dershowitz told Hannity is obvious. Regardless of what Hannity may have discussed with Cohen legalwise, this relationship should have been disclosed to his viewers, especially in view of his highly vocal (need I say, fawning) defense of Cohen. Apart from any potential criminal dealings it establishes an obvious case of Hannity getting free legal advice from Cohen in exchange for favorable press coverage. It would be unethical were it not Fox News where the concept is unknown.
Wish he would exercise his right to remain silent. On his own, or as suggested to him by law enforcement as he does the perp walk.
Maybe âreal estateâ is Hannityâs code word for Trump. So, every time Hannity spoke to Cohen about âreal estateââŚ
