Stormy Daniels lawyer claims Hannity, Cohen relationship was extensive

Stormy Daniels's attorney said on Sunday that Fox News host Sean Hannity's work with Michael Cohen is likely to be "far more extensive" than the conservative media personality has let on.

"I think that the relationship is going to be far more extensive than Mr. Hannity has led people to believe," the attorney, Michael Avenatti, said on CNN's "Reliable Sources."

"I don’t know that there’s anything nefarious that went on between Mr. Hannity and Mr. Cohen, or that there was any NDA-type involvement or anything of that nature," he added, using an acronym for nondisclosure agreement. "But what I do know is I think it’s going to be far more extensive than people have been led to believe."

Avenatti's comments came nearly a week after it was revealed in a court hearing that Hannity had been a client of Cohen, a longtime confidant and personal attorney for President Trump.

The exact nature of Cohen's work for Hannity is unclear, and the Fox News host has denied that he is one of the attorney's clients. Hannity has claimed that he never paid Cohen for legal work and that their discussions focused on real estate.

He suspects, with good reason, that Cohen covered something up for Hannity.

Let's think about this. Cohen told the Court that he had three clients last year: Trump, Broidy and the mysterious Hannity.

For Trump, he was involved with paying hush money to at least two women so they would keep quiet about their affairs with Trump.

For Broidy, he was involved with paying hush money to a woman to be quiet about her affair with Broidy and the abortion she had as a result of that affair.

For Hannity, he offered advice about real estate?! Since Cohen is not a real estate attorney, that doesn't really make much sense, does it?

Cohen's specialty is covering up acts that his clients want to keep hidden and strong-arming people Trump perceives as enemies.

Hey, Sean! Whatcha hiding? It's gonna come out, ya know. You're about to spend some time with your family, I think.

any of whom Hannity could have asked a few questions of. Hannity himself has a contract lawyer, a tax lawyer, etc. etc. But he needed Cohen's questionable expertise?

of such an relationship. We are seeing lots of examples of how an alternative reality of bullshit and spin doesn't work in an Article III Court.
