Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client[W:1086]

Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

LOL!

Liberals want to arrest Hannity before knowing what the crime is.

Ummmm.... your lean is listed as Progressive. His is listed as Conservative. What the actual **** are you talking about?
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Yes. That is the sense I get, if I stick to the simplest explanation.

On how to read this, I see several options here.

1. Sean and Cohen have colluded to trick Fox News viewers and Sean's radio audience with pro-Trump propaganda, and Cohen has communications to that effect. This is clearly something Hannity does not want made public.

2. Cohen privately admitted to Sean that Stormy allegations are correct, but both agreed Trump needed to be protected. And, there is a record of that conversation.

3. Cohen did for Sean what he did for his other two clients--pay off mistresses or worse.

4. Cohen honestly represented Sean as a legal adviser on matters totally unrelated to Trump.

If I had to guess, I'd say #1 is highly likely and #4 is not likely at all.

You forgot #5, Hannity is correct in saying there was no professional relationship.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

I did find that odd because if what hannity claims is true, why would cohen have any files relating to him?

Because Cohen apparently records all phone calls.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Uh, we know that now because a judge started ripping out fingernails with pliers today.

Nothing to do with Hannity, and completely irrelevant. Who cares if you knew or not? People meet that know each other all the time, whether you know about it or not.

Anthony60 just can't understand why disclosure is the norm in situations like this. Keep acting like this is a struggle, it makes you look ethical, honest, and intelligent, the things Trump supporters swear they are but are just misunderstood.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

The judge in this case seems to think differently than you, and thats what matters.

Sorry, I dont bow down to liberal activist judges. What is the legal basis? We do still have a bill of rights.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Okay, let's take a closer look at what you said:

You wrote:


That statement is wrong on many levels.
"Common with dictatorships and communism?" Give me a frickin' break.
First off, in dictatorships, they DO NOT allow 'boycotts" (that's the "silence" reference, that's all the left did, so you can't weasel out of saying that's not what you meant).
The only thing the left did was boycott businesses, her sponsors.
If you really cared about the 1st amendment, you wouldn't equate boycotting with "left not wanting to be part of a free speech society. "
That implies that the left cares not about free speech. What total utter bullcrap, and you write it so cavalierly.

If you really cared about the 1st amendment, you would be applauding those who boycotted her, because that, too, is 1st amendment protected speech.
The left were boycotting businessess, not her right to speak. She can go around and give townhalls, speak on campuses, all she wants.
But she has no inherent right to earn a living from 'free speech', none at all, and as such, the left has every right to boycott her.

Given that Trump calls the MSM "fake news" just about everywhere he goes, he vilifies them, shames them, causes millions of people to hate them, calls them the "enemy of the people" (which is, in actual fact, common with dictatorships),
wow, lets' just say your comment is the quintessence of hypocrisy.

So, you don't really understand the point. Hint; I'm not talking about a good ole' boycott. We have a leftist organization, backed by leftist billionaires, pouring money in for the sole reason to take out voices on the right. Saying that she can go speak at Town Halls and campuses proves you truly have no idea of what's going on. Well, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, right? Works for you.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Sorry, I dont bow down to liberal activist judges. What is the legal basis? We do still have a bill of rights.

You have no idea of the details in this case.
You have no knowledge of exactly what happened in court.
We dont know if Hannity is a real client of Cohens, or just an excuse to pretend he has more than just one client
In fact, why was Hannity even called a client since he said he had no dealings with Cohen.
Somewhere there is a whole bunch of lying going on.

Do you consider any judge who doesnt rule exactly the way you want them to, an "activist" judge?
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Hannity is trying to have it both ways. First he wants attorney client privilege but then he went on his show to say that he in no way has used Cohen for any legal representation nor paid him anything blah blah blah.

Sean Hannity was one of the few mainstream voices to peddle the bull**** "Secret Society" narrative and to push the Nunes Memo as a bombshell. Considering recent developments it bears asking: was that coordinated?
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Uh oh. That sounds like it must be illegal. Was Hannity arrested yet?

Only works to confirm that Cohen is not a real lawyer. Then again, Trump isn't a real president. We are just watching poorly written reality TV. Its time for the show to be cancelled for content not suitable for viewing.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

In the post to which I replied.

Was anything done to those pieces of crap that they did not bring on themselves?

Now, there's the good ole' leftist justification... they had it coming. I'd expect nothing less from the "ends justifies the means" party.

Mach 60 needs give his examples of this being the norm or risk looking all those and more. Actually, no risk at all, I suppose.

Oh good god. Take off the tin foil hat. If Ingraham loses her show, it will be because of her own mistakes. What ever happened to the party of personal responsibility?

They DID have it coming. Or maybe you think sleazebags like O'Reilly should never have consequences for their actions?n You act as if nothing like this happens to people on the left. Have you seen he purge of Hollywood? And those people lost their jobs on mere allegations.

I don't have to, I have people on this site, like you, that make me look ethical, honest, and intelligent.

You should just cancel your fantasies, and move to Realville.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

And if you didn't have people on this site to that for you, you wouldn't be any of those things? Very telling.
 
Re: Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen’s 3rd client

Maybe I am still naive, I am familiar with the law as it applies to me and the things I am involved in. I have no training in law. In this day and time, I would think that the judge involved would have all the legal details wrapped up so there would be no reversals. I am not certain why Cohen was required to release Hanntiy's name as a 'client.' It couldn't have happened to a more appropriate person. When the raid took place, it might have been in Sean's best interest to lay off some information then, but the revelation that he was legally involved with Cohen, would certainly knock some of the wind out of his delivery. Likewise it is reported that Sean dines often with the President, that should be disclosed before he goes into his routine. Can't help but wonder at the rest of the 'shoes' to drop.

The only reason he had to discclose it is because he used him as a crutch to argue that the seizure grabbed too much privileged materials. The judge initially agreed, but then the lawyer for the NYT and CNN said that it should be made public, and the judge acquiesced.

At the same time, the judge agreed with Cohen's motion that he should be able to review the entirety of the seized material.

So if you ask me, Cohen got what he wanted out of it at the expense of Hannity, who potentially was used to get to that end. Its still possible that Hannity asked him about something with real estate, never retained him as a lawyer, and that conversation is privileged.

(psst, he's none of those things, it's sarcasm. For him to act oblivious about the norms of full disclosure in this context is poor behavior...to put it lightly).

I took away that Cohen's request to view what was seized was denied. Never heard of 'taint' teams or 'masters' to sift through pertinent and non pertinent information until now. Wouldn't the taint team put anything not related to the warrants issued in a secure pile as it relates to the investigation?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...lient-of-trumps-personal-lawyer-idUSKBN1HN12G


Judge Kimba Wood spent more than 2-1/2 hours listening to arguments by Cohen’s lawyers, prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan and a lawyer representing Trump in the hearing. She is expected to rule later.

She ordered prosecutors to give Cohen’s lawyers a copy of the seized materials before the next hearing
.


Edit: Reading further in the story, I suspect that prosecutors are to give a list of what was seized, not a copy of the seized materials themselves. I think the author had a poor choice of words earlier in the story.

Cohen has asked the court to give his own lawyers the first look at the seized materials so they can identify documents that are protected by attorney-client privilege. (Full Story)

Failing that, they want the court to appoint an independent official known as a special master, a role typically filled by a lawyer, to go through the records and decide what prosecutors can see.

But prosecutors want the documents to be reviewed for attorney-client privilege by a “taint team” of lawyers within their own office, who would be walled off from the main prosecution team.

O'Reilly was convicted of what again? Or arrested, on what charges? Oh, just civil suits from underlings against rich, vulnerable people. Yeah, those are never false. Oh, but what a surprise, Media Matters jumped in and threatened advertisers to leave his show. Well, what do you know, just as they always do.

They should. I understand that it is a mountain of documents and more than one person is necessary to go through it all.
