So ultimately what does this mean for Hannity?

What does it mean for Cohen?
What does it mean for Trump?

Is it just wild speculation on our part that something juicy is going to come out, or is he or are they at least in some real trouble right now?

1. For Hannity...it probably won't mean much.

He's got one of the most popular cable news shows in the country. Fox has stood by Laura Ingraham as she's been hemorrhaging advertisers, and she probably makes a drop in the bucket for Fox compared to what Hannity does. Aside from a complete mass exodus of sponsors from Hannity's show, he's probably safe.

Considering how quickly news cycles move, by this time on Wednesday, nobody will be talking about it anymore. Hell, Trump literally bombed Syria 72 hours ago, and already everyone has moved on and forgotten about it.

And Hannity represents all the worst parts of that channel. I think Hannity is toast.

We still don't know why Hannity was using Cohen instead of Fox News' corporate legal team but my guess is its juicy and its not going away and if Hannity wants to insists that Cohen isn't actually his lawyer, it isn't protected by attorney client privilege.

2. Fox will give Hannity a big raise as his rightwing fringe audience

rallies around him, increasing viewership and spiking network ad revenues. Cohen might get some new legal biz from other Fox celebrity hosts, bring his total clientele to five. Trump will enjoy the Fox News Gospel Choir singing his praises on the GOP's favorite propaganda channel.

Michel Cohen = Trumps "fixer" & gets rid of Trumps women problems. I bet Cohen helps Shawn Hannity get rid of his W problems too.
