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

a reply to: howtonhawky>>> So they decide to try to find evidence they can use against politicos and high profile citizens and they invent charges so they can go in and seize whatever documents information they can. Then they use that to take them down. You know, everything they say about the deep state and FBI spying on us is true. And we're seeing a deliberate attack on out own elected officials right now. Many are not seeking re election or are just up and retiring before their terms are up. This was almost unheard of due to the extremely lucrative nature of political office. These people are being blackmailed and most are republicans but some are dems who aren't part of the corrupt elite. They're trying to take the house and senate away from the GOP so they can use that against Trump, blaming him. And if you're hooting and clapping saying yay the dems will take over, think about it. They won't pass any beneficial economic legislation that will help the working class, only damaging and divisive ( gun control) measures or useless social initiatives( transgender rights). The dems will be prey to the same blackmail and removal and when the time comes for the GOP to replace the dems in a seesaw political game, you'll see the dems suddenly take a nose dive. And we'll continue to be screwed either way.

TDS has led people to lose all ability to critically think. You are spot on.

So much for attorney-client privilege.

One more right we are losing to Government overreach.

I couldn't have said it any better. We'll cross that off our list of rights. I wonder what's next?

Given you have no idea what information they have that lead to the warrant, you have no reason to say this is government overreach. You WANT it to be government overreach, because you don't want to see Cohen or Trump go down. You point and claim bias, when you're clearly exerting bias.

So much dog-whistling on this site. The public evidence we have available to us is more than enough to let this play out, get the facts, and make an educated opinion. This isn't a sporting event, stop treating it like your team against theirs. You have SOOOOO many major ethics violations, guilty pleas, indictments. And you believe the entire world intelligence community (sans Russia lol) is against Trump, who is the good guy, rather than facing yourself in the mirror and considering that you might have #ed up.

Seriously, this is all hubris. Millions of people refusing to acknowledge they MIGHT be wrong, that Trump might be what he's always been, and shows us that he is on a daily basis, a crook.

More dog-whistling. This is a very large paragraph of nothing but speculation. They "invent" charges? You have no idea what evidence was used to obtain the warrant. They must all be crooked though, it's all a deep state conspiracy against Trump. Use LOGIC.

If this is played right it will be yet another bomb to backfire and explode in Democrats faces.

A CNN attorney convinced liberal judge Kimbra wood to release Hannity's name in public.

Balin is the attorney who is representing the interests of five news organizations (including the AP and New York Times as well as, yes, CNN). This is not "a bomb", it was in the first articles about what happened in court on Monday.

Robert Balin, an attorney representing the press’ interests in the case, argued that there is “intense public interest” in the identities of Cohen’s clients, according to Bloomberg.

"I understand he doesn't want his name out there, but that's not enough under the law," she said, after hearing legal arguments from Robert Balin, a lawyer for five news organizations including The Associated Press.

Robert D. Balin, a lawyer for various media outlets, including The New York Times, CNN and others, interrupted the hearing to argue that embarrassment was not a sufficient cause to withhold a client’s name, and Judge Wood agreed.

What about the truth and getting to the bottom of things.

Is that anywhere in your partisan agenda or is it all just go republicans regardless of truth?

Surely you do not buy that cohen was giving out free real estate advice.

Now i will say again right before i made this thread in hour one of hannities show when he first spoke of this he specifically came out and stated on air that before he asked cohen for legal advice he first asked cohen if the lawyer client confidentiality would cover the questions.

Now why on earth would someone need such for a real estate question that you are not even paying for. smells fishy

He has since skipped telling the part i have noted here in his story.

Why the hell a judge needs to know the clients of a lawyer, I can't even imagine. That judge should be removed from the case and then impeached.

The court needs to know, because they have to know who is involved in various communications when privilege is asserted. The reason it's a matter of public record rather than a secret is because Cohen claimed that the vast majority of his work was for this client after he had previously claimed that Trump was his only current client. Basically, Cohen dragged Hannity into this.

Shawn is always bragging about how damn tough his street martial arts makes him.

Maybe he will shadow kick his way clear of this?

Not to be the grammar police, but his name is SEAN not SHAWN. It actually does make a difference.
