Dershowitz (!) told Hannity tonight that he should have disclosed relationship with Cohen, and

Hannity tried to cut him off and told him, "I have the right to privacy."

that cohen had all of three clients, and two of them were the president, and the propaganda spewing mouthpiece of the president. it is almost as if hannity is not an impartial ethical journalist and is just coordinating everything with drumpf.

Sean Hannity is a wealthy man who can afford any attorney he wants. Michael Cohen is a terrible attorney, because he’s really a fixer instead. Hannity knew that. No way in hell was Hannity using Cohen for legitimate legal advice. Whatever it was about, it’s going to be ugly 😁

Hannity used Cohen to cover up illegal activity. He has the money to buy any lawyer in the world. He wouldn't pick someone like Cohen unless he wanted him to do things no real attorney would do.

Right. Dude doesn't practice law. He's a fixer.

Has one main client for the better part of a decade, and another lucrative client for a likely criminal fixing scheme between Cohen and the "opposing" lawyer, in a settlement.

Yet we are to believe that the third client - is only in the files for a few minuscule real estate advice conversations. This would suggest that a guy with a record of millions of $$ in real estate investments that have come under scrutiny as money laundering operations (through Trump Inc.), has never had any other casual conversations with folks about real estate - as those (given Hannity's explanation) would then also be included in Cohen's office documents.

Sure.

Sleep well tonight Michael and Sean. I am guessing the nights of fitful sleep will be fewer and fewer in the coming days.

https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/rupert-murdochs-ex-wife-wendi-deng-is-dating-vladimir-putin-w200077/

Deng has yet to be spotted looking romantic with the Russian leader, but was seen boarding her pal Roman Abramovich's yacht in St. Bart’s on Monday, March 28. Abramovich also happens to be friends with Putin. (According to the Daily Mail, the billionaire Chelsea Football Club owner reportedly gifted the president with a $35 million yacht in January.)

Murdoch, 85, filed for divorce from Deng, 47, after 14 years of marriage in June 2013 after he reportedly grew suspicious of her relationship with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. (A spokesperson for Blair denied the affair to The Hollywood Reporter in July 2013.) The businesswoman famously made headlines in 2011 when she jumped to Murdoch’s defense and slapped a protestor’s face after he tried to pie her husband during a meeting with parliament.

Dershowitz looks like he's just realized that he's swimming in a cesspool.

If he hasn't entirely lost his mind he'll back away from that cabal and find some obscure sinecure for the next couple of years and work on scrubbing off the stink.
