The gaping hole in Sean Hannity’s story about being Michael Cohen’s client

It's not what it looks like. That's the refrain from Sean Hannity, after lawyers for President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, revealed in court on Monday that the Fox News host is one of only three clients that Cohen represented this year and last.

Cohen's previous work included arranging a $130,000 payment to prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from talking publicly about her alleged affair with Trump. And Cohen's work for the other client on his short list, Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy, included negotiating a $1.6 million settlement with a former Playboy model who got pregnant when she and Broidy had an affair.

So what it looks like, of course, is that Cohen could have similarly helped Hannity silence a woman who might have told an embarrassing story. That is not the case, Hannity insisted on his radio show.

“I tell you why they're going nuts,” Hannity said of the media. “They're assuming — because I guess he did some type of work for some Republican guy — they're figuring, 'Oh, he must've done a big settlement case for Hannity.' That's not — no, that's not what happened. Ever.”

“Not one of any issue I ever dealt with Michael Cohen on ever — ever — involved a matter between me and any third party,” Hannity added.

Hannity's denial is a bit confusing. Hannity sought Cohen's legal counsel only on matters involving Hannity and himself?

It is also unclear why, if Cohen's work for Hannity was innocuous, the two men sought to keep their relationship secret. In a letter to the court Monday morning, Cohen's lawyers said his third recent client, besides Trump and Broidy, wished to remain anonymous.

“As to the one unnamed legal client, we do not believe that Mr. Cohen should be asked to reveal the name or can permissibly do so,” the letter said. A federal judge disagreed.

But there is an even bigger hole in Hannity's explanation: Why, as he railed against FBI raids of Cohen's office, home and hotel room last week, did Hannity not disclose to viewers and listeners that his communications with Cohen could have been among the materials seized?

“We have now entered a dangerous phase,” Hannity said on TV on the day of the raids, without mentioning any potential danger to himself.

A Fox News spokeswoman did not respond to a Fix inquiry on this point. Instead, the network issued the following statement, attributed to Hannity: “Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective. I assumed those conversations were confidential but, to be absolutely clear, they never involved any matter between me and a third party.”

On the radio, Hannity did not directly address his lack of disclosure but hinted at a possible defense — that he did not consider himself a formal client of Cohen's.

That Cohen's attorneys included Hannity's name on a list of clients presented in court “just shows that Michael was doing his due diligence and being totally thorough about anybody that he might have had attorney-client privilege with,” Hannity told listeners.

Hannity made further comments that appear to be somewhat inconsistent with the statement he issued through Fox News. He said that he might have paid Cohen a small fee, after all, and said he did not merely assume that their conversations were privileged but rather sought assurances.

“I might have handed him 10 bucks [and said,] 'I definitely want your attorney-client privilege on this,' ” Hannity said on the radio. “Something like that. I requested that privilege with him when I would ask him: 'Well, this just came up. What do you think about this? What do you think about that?' ”

As a commentator, Hannity need not be neutral. But as a self-described “opinion journalist,” he could reasonably be expected to divulge a conflict of interest such as the one involving Cohen.

Face what exactly?  The charges have long been laid out against Hilary.  She just somehow managed to avoid prosecution, and Comey got on national tv talking out of both sides of his mouth for why.   Half the country is still pissed off about it, and will not be happy until a real review is done on her actions, from the servers to the Clinton foundation.  How do you go from broke to being worth 400+ million bucks as a public servant.  Its time people start asking these questions and getting real answers to them.

What charges are we laying out against Trump?  Russian collusion?  FIrst degree banging a prostitute 10 years before you're president??  What exactly is the charge, and when can we expect the head of the FBI to get on national tv to explain those charges?  If nothing else, the past few months have clearly shown the double standard, and why the DOJ and FBI have such besmirched reputations today.  Today.  That all happened on Obamas watch.  

you are beyond help, seriously. all you can do is remain focus on some lousy "e-mail" story that I'm sure 95% of Washington is guilty of, including your heroes in office now. I don't mean having private servers either (although that does apply to some), I'm mainly referring to communicating with private e-mails, cell phones, etc. Regarding Clinton's wealth? paleez. they have book sales, speeches and other legal means to acquire their fortunes.

if a fraction of what trump has done had happened with Hillary, your head would be exploding daily. and for once, rightfully so.

I know it's hard for you to comprehend more than one talking point at a time.  BTW, this is the shit they pulled in Wisconsin with the john doe case as well.  Raid homes/offices for information, then leak it out to the minions and let you guys hook yourself.

Call me ignorant, but what the heck does Sean Hannity have to do with anything?  Guy is a news anchor and a overly dramatic one at that.

They’d need overwhelming evidence of a crime in order to raid Hillary’s attorney and that the evidence of that crime was in jeopardy of being destroyed by the attorney in order to get such a warrant for a raid.

Sorry to destroy your little fairy tale, but Once again you’re living in a fantasy world.

The truth is that Cohen is most likely a criminal engaged in criminal actively and his main client is Donald Trump.  Let that sink into your pea sized brain for a second, then don’t bother to reply.

 

So it was appropriate that Lynch met Clinton on the tarmac?  She should have instantly stepped down from office if she had one shred of integrity.  If that didn't appall you, you know nothing about the law.  Hell, one business law 101 class should have clued you in on that one.  She was given a pass, period.  Thats what so many want her head, along with Lynch and Comey's.  Comeys own words were duplicitous, self serving and contradictory.  Throw in McCabes actions and why they both got fired, but somehow Hilary skated, for your clues.  Speaking of fairy tales...

When Cohen is indicted and the evidence is laid out, it better be goddamn good.  Because what they did is unprecedented.  Let that sink into your pea sized brain.  When do you suppose all this evidence is going to get presented?  Obviously its gotta be alot worse than what Clinton did, given she got a pass.

You get to find out what the charges are when the indictments are handed out and/or the investigation is over

Duhhhhhh

When do you suppose that might be, its been more than a year?  What, 2 weeks before the next presidential election?

It was illegal, period.  She got away with it, period.  400 million isn't acquired from writing a few books and giving a few speeches friend.  Use your fucking head for more than a hat rack for a change.

Fraction of what?  What exactly has Trump been charged with other than a bunch of unsubstantiated allegations?

Edited April 17, 20187 yr by DriftBusta

why are you clowns so hung up on the god damn tarmac meeting? was bill meeting her illegal? Christ they could have met anywhere, any time. I also would think they would have picked a better place to meet than a god damn tarmac of an airport if they were trying to hide something. were the pilots, the crews, the airport personnel etc in on this conspiracy too? 

you clowns are a riot.

It wasn’t unprecedented.  Lawyers offices have been raided before and there is a very high bar set in order for a warrant to be awarded.  SBYL

A year isn’t very long for a criminal investigation of this size and magnitude.  How long did the Benghazi BS go on for?  What became of that?  lmao

Weird that you’re so up in arms about Lynch and Bill Clinton and have no issues with Trump, the subject of multiple criminal investigations, actually RUNNING the Justice Dept that is investigating him?  Trump appointed the very people that are in charge of and are overseeing these investigations.....but yea....Clinton emails!!!!  Wahhhhhhhh

 

trump colludes with Russians, tries to set up secret communication channels with them, lies constantly about the topic, has them in the WH, alone etc etc etc

and wolfie is upset about a god damn conversation between Clinton and lynch on an airport tarmac...

 you can't make this shit up

it really is.

Cohen was a quasi lawyer. Trump uses him as the mob would just so he can claim lawyer client privilege.

Can't be bought?   Did she seriously say that?

1. She said she accepted the $130K

2. She has sex on camera for a living.  

3. She is doing private webcam show's with people.
