Sean Hannity ID’d as Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen’s Mystery Client

a reply to: crtrvt

Trump just tells Hannity direct what he wants him to report. Then invites him down to Marilago for cake n ice cream at the weekend.

a reply to: cosmickat

I wonder how much that costs.

a reply to: dawnstar

Cohan is lying in order to make it look like trump wasn't his ONLY client???

Idk. This seems pointless to me.

a reply to: Phage

Taxes cover it

Ooops...tax -payers

Where is attorney-client privilege listed as a right in the bill of rights?

It's part of due process. That said, privilege is not absolute, it can be breached. In this case it hasn't but likely will be soon.

Could it be that Trump has been feeding Hannity talking points through Cohen, and using his attorney-client privilege to shroud the fact that he's the source?

Unlikely as journalists already have the ability to protect their sources, and for as much as Hannity claims he's not a journalist he meets every definition as being a member of the press.

If they were communicating it was the communications themselves and not the source that they're trying to keep secret.

Hmmm real estate. Trump is in real estate. Maybe we are going to find out that hannity is close friends with trump and has literally been trumps mouth piece all this time.


Speculation is fun.

It seems cohan is being painted as the " saul goodman" type.

So if your a client of a fixer than you must be shady.

a reply to: scraedtosleep

That's not speculation. Hannity has claimed to know Trump going back many years, and regularly admits to being in regular contact with him.

a reply to: scraedtosleep

There is that aspect.

But do you think it's ethical for Hannity to not disclose to his audience that he had a legal relationship with Cohen, given his reputation for being so very unbiased? What with his interviews which him and such.


(heh. unbiased.)

I am honestly ignorant of this. Could you give more detail. Quote the part of the bill of rights that deals with client privilege.

Ethical, no. But then again I don't count sean as a journalist. I call him a commentator. Someone paid to talk about their opinions in order to fill up dead air time. So I don't hold him to task for the things he says. I do blame others for believing his words without doing their own research but that is a different topic.

If he was a real journalist I would want him fired because he is clearly biased. Yes I watch his show sometimes.

I think Hannity should sue Cohen for slander.

I did not have legal relations with that lawyer !!!!

Since Hannity didn't pay Cohen anything for the occasional advice, nothing to see here. Even if he did pay him for advice, nothing to see here.

But it's always nice seeing how easily distracted MSM and Democrats are from learning how to WIN.

I wonder why Hannity is so adamant about there being no legal relationship.

How about illegal relations?

a reply to: carewemust

I still think this is just slow news day filler stuff.


All the media channels do this, even fox.

I honestly give it a 5% chance that hannety is involved in anything illegal having to do with cohan or trump.

Why isn't fox or cnn talking about congressional term limits or about the sexual harassment slush fund?

The media doesn't care about what matters they only care about ratings.

This hannity story is getting ratings.

It's our fault for watching .

It's almost like he gets paid for telling lies and doesn't want anything to get out...like..ohh I don't know...truth or something like that....
Just speculation
