Sean Hannity was very concerned about conflicts of interest until he had one

Sean Hannity isn't apologizing for failing to disclose his attorney-client relationship with Michael Cohen, even as he has spent weeks defending President Trump's lawyer in the face of increasing legal jeopardy. In fact, the Fox News host says he has “a right to privacy” when it comes to his relationship with Cohen.

An earlier version of Hannity may disagree.

There have been few bigger warriors when it comes to rooting out alleged conflicts of interest and media bias than Hannity. For months, he's been pointing to alleged conflicts in Robert S. Mueller III's investigation, and for years he's been accusing the mainstream media of allying with liberals and Democrats.

All of that collided in one story in 2015, when it was revealed that ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos failed to disclose $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation. This was at issue because Stephanopoulos had just grilled conservative author Peter Schweizer over his book on the Clinton Foundation. For the better part of a week, the Stephanopoulos story was a mainstay on Hannity's show.

Until yesterday, Sean gleefully used his cable and radio platforms to go after private citizens whose only sin was to have come across his demented radar. Seth Rich's surviving family, grieving over his death, had to deal with the added attraction of Sean Hannity's unwelcome, obsessive attention.

But now Sean seems to have landed in a spot of trouble, and is whining to anyone who will listen (that would Fox) about his sacrosanct privacy and everybody just shut up, he doesn't know Michael Cohen, and if he does know Cohen, he never hired him as his attorney, and if he did hire Cohen, it was just for some real estate consultation, and if it was for more than that, it was probably about the elements of an insanity defense, so he can't be responsible, and everyone just leave poor put-upon Sean aloooooone!
