Ha ha! It's HANNITY!

I know right? That one line deserves some sort of award.

I wouldn’t admit to it either.

Ishmael ruptures a hemorrhoid every time he posts now without signing it.

Well, that's what I heard.

Sure, those are possible. But: 1) Cohen seems to specialize in clients who have problems with marital infidelity; and 2) there's the matter of Hannity's attempt to keep his name from being disclosed. Maybe he wanted it kept secret only because he knew how any sort of relationship with Cohen would look, but since it's apparent his superiors (and presumably his viewers) don't care about the ethical issues there, I think the alternative is a good bet if not quite a safe bet just yet. Why wouldn't a wealthy man like Hannity get a real lawyer for serious legal work, instead of the Saul Goodman of pussy?

(I suppose it's also possible that when Hannity says that he never paid Cohen a retainer or any fees, he might be truthful insofar as money never exchanged hands, but there's definitely an intangible value to him defending Cohen and Trump on national television five nights a week.)

You're missing the forest for the trees.

Cohen isn't in trouble for the various sex scandals that he has been involved in (although the campaign finance stuff could be an issue for him personally). He's in trouble for a trip to Prague to help fix an election, and because he was helping launder money with a sketchy taxi medallion operation.

He didn't just work on people cheating, and if that's your takeaway, you're missing what the real issues are, and the reasons why Trump is in serious risk of impeachment and criminal prosecution.

It's got very little to do with Stormy Daniels... The issue for Trump is Prague.

One thing we know for sure is that Hannity is dumber than I thought he was. And that is something I would not have thought possible. It’s like finding out there’s something twice as vast as infinity.

When does Hannity "go on vacation"?

It's disingenuous.
Hannity could very well have gone to Cohen for legal advice about potential issues or for clarification on terms involving his Fox contract, his radio show contract, a prenup, a will, a trust, a foundation and so on.

Speakin' of disingenuous, Trevor Noah addressed your pathetic deflection attempt last night...

“You know right now Sean Hannity is probably on the phone with his wife like, ‘Hey honey, it’s so weird how I use the guy who pays off mistresses to get me out of that parking ticket.’”

NONE of those things would have involved a 3rd party.

Yet you (and the author of the article) ASSUME that because he says there is no 3rd party, he must be hiding something.

Hannity who doesn’t believe in the stock market and invests all of his money in real estate goes to Cohen for real estate advice? No one would ever go to a fixer to help with a closing on a house let alone real estate investment advice. Let alone contract advice.

 

[Taint_mAnn]

I'm not AJ and I'm not defending anybody. All I've done is to note that this is going to blow up in Rory's face, again, as usual.

Yes you are, stop being a little bitch about it.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Maybe to went to Cohen for prosate advice.

 

[Wrong Element]

That was all very stupid of me to say. I'm always so wrong about these things.
Oh and since I am already here if anyone needs any legal advice you can reach me at: [redacted]

Welcome to the board. Historically, my favorite posters here have been lawyers from Southern California.

It isn't that he's dumb, its that he's arrogant. He's a famous, rich, white man who believe he's entitled to things, and is above the law.

You don't know that. You only assume it because that's what you think a lawyer is for. But, like seeing a doctor for preventative medicine, talking to an attorney BEFORE YOU NEED ONE, is what smart people do to keep themselves out of trouble.

We're not all ambulance chasers.

If I want advice about real estate investments the bulk of my portfolio, even before I need one, I’m going to speak with an attorney that specializes in that field not a fixer.

"Prostate" or "probate?"

Never mind; Cohen would be equally useless at both.

It's got very little to do with Stormy Daniels... The issue for Trump is Prague.

The "Prague" charge first appeared in the infamous Steele dossier, and multi-proven FAKE NEWS spreaders Peter Stone and Greg Gordon, writing for mcclatchydc.dom, simply regurgitated it last week - that's the entire basis for your bandwagon proclamation.

When the Daily Caller specifically asked about Stone's and Gordon's writing that Mueller now has evidence of Cohen in Prague, this is how a spokesperson for the Mueller team responded without referring to their report specifically:

“What I have been telling all reporters is that many stories about our investigation have been inaccurate. Be very cautious about any source that claims to have knowledge about our investigation and dig deep into what they claim before reporting on it,” the spokesperson said. “If another outlet reports something, don’t run with it unless you have your own sourcing to back it up.”

Cohen has consistently asserted clearly he has never been in Prague in his life. And to date, not one single outlet has "run with" the infamous Steele dossier claim - except the multi-proven FAKE NEWS spreaders Stone and Gordon.

Stone and Gordon have used the same “two sources familiar” citation for other FAKE NEWS stuff they've spread.

Stone and Gordon reported on March 20, 2017, that FBI investigators were probing whether right-wing news sites, including Breitbart and Infowars, assisted Russian cyber operations during the 2016 election.

The next day, Stone went on MSNBC and floated the “possibility that some of these far right news sites might have actually in some way collaborated with Russia as it was endeavoring to unload this enormous cyber attack on the United States.” He conceded the possibility the story won’t “pan out.”

In the year+ since that spread, no other news outlet has confirmed it.

Stone and Gordon are also solely responsible for spreading two other "reports":

In January, Stone and Gordon reported that Mueller was investigating whether Russian banker Alexander Torshin funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election.

"The extent to which the FBI has evidence of money flowing from Torshin to the NRA, or of the NRA’s participation in the transfer of funds, could not be learned,” the report conceded.

And then this doozy:

Two days later, the two reporters came out with a second report tying the NRA to Russia. That report claimed Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who worked for the NRA, “had concerns about its ties to Russia and its possible involvement in channeling Russian funds into the 2016 elections to help Donald Trump.”

Mitchell cast doubt on both of McClatchy’s NRA-Russia reports.

“Ms. Mitchell tells me she told McClatchy before publication that this was false, that she has spoken to no one about the NRA’s actions in 2016, and that she believes the entire NRA-Russia story line is preposterous,” Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly Strassel wrote in a column excoriating the McClatchy reports. “She asked the reporters to explain to whom she supposedly said this, when and in what context,” Strassel wrote. “They couldn’t, but ran the story anyway. Ms. Mitchell calls it ‘the quintessential definition of fake news.'”

Mitchell told TheDCNF that reporters from several outlets contacted her with the allegations about the NRA-Russia story. “I know that someone was pitching the false story about me to multiple news outlets,” she said, asserting that McClatchy is “the only one who bit.”

“There was someone really peddling that false story,” says Mitchell, a partner at the firm Foley & Lardner.

And, again: not a single other news outfit has confirmed that Stone and Gordon FAKE NEWS nugget, either.

If folks recall, the Clinton campaign/DNC/Fusion campaign to pitch their infamous Steele dossier into mainstream media cycles included payments to "journalists" to pump their production into the "news". Just noting.

Here’s Why You Should Be Skeptical Of That Michael Cohen Prague Story

And what kind of an attorney would you talk to if you were a TV celebrity like Hannity and you were being stalked and harassed?

There are many different kinds of lawyers out there. I know of 1 who is a fight promoter and several who run private personal security companies. Fit that into your definition of what an attorney does for his clients. Then ask yourself if you, as an attorney, would want the general public to know who your clients are and what you do for them.

But that is not what Hannity himself stated.

Mr. Hannity denied on Monday that he was a client of Mr. Cohen’s, saying that he had never paid him for his services and that his discussions with him were brief and centered on real estate.

Furthermore, Cohen’s attorneys said they were protecting the confidentiality of Cohen’s “client” on behalf of said “client”. Eventually, the documentation Cohen has relayed to Hannity will come out.
