Fox News host Sean Hannity appears to have acted on the directives from the emails between President Donald Trump’s longtime political adviser Roger Stone and an intermediary who claiemd to have communicated with WikiLeaks.

On Twitter, author Kurt Eichenwald points out that, among the details in the indictment of Stone, is a passage about WikiLeaks’ plan to leak emails suggesting Hillary Clinton was seriously ill and Sean Hannity’s focus on Clinton’s health in the following days.

“Would not hurt to start suggesting HRC old, memory bad, has stroke, neither he nor she well. I expect that much of next dump focus,” Stone’s link to WikiLeaks told him via email on August 2, 2016.

Also in the email, Stone’s link to WikiLeaks told him that Wikileaks’ head Julian Assange was planning a document dump in October.

A few days after the email was sent to Stone, Fox News host Sean Hannity began to focus on Hillary’s health, suggesting that she was having “seizures” and had some sort of neurological problem.

that would be ... bad.

Love how these guys who wrap themselves in the flag to grandstand turn out to be the biggest subversives imaginable and hypocrites as always.

I’m coining a new word: TRAITRIOTISM.

hannity's relationship with cohen may not be about a hannity affair.

why wouldn't trump/russians be paying limbaugh for talk radio and hannity for fox?

Trump paid for good print and polls - investigators must assume he'd pay for good talk radio too

Dems should ask Cohen, Nunberg about Russians using talk radio to influence Trump base

why wouldn't trump try to pay limbaugh with big russian money?

stone has been using talk radio since at least 2000 to use it to attack gore in florida re recounts

show, like the annoucement of palin for VP. probably a lot of stuff like that over the years so he could have first crack at spinning it. also to reinforce his el rushbo foresight. in palin case it was the friday before the GOP convention and minutes before his show and he used the 'opportunity' to tell the base he could finally then support mccain- that saved the GOP convention which would have been a disaster with pawlenty or lieberman and without limbaugh. it so happens that manafort was convention cochair specializing in delegate counting. and palin was being courted by russian oil and gas interests.

he's the guy you want if you want to push a lie. there is a whole generation of alternate reality cons that would have a real come to jesus moment if they found out he's been taking payola for 10 years - maybe from the russians, whether he knows it's them or not.

that's more like 10-20% of the voters with a few hundred liar blowhards amplifying their message/leading them and the rest are too busy or too apathetic to find facts in mostly rural media environments where the con memes are the dominant buzz in their communities.

there were millions of peole like that all over the country listening to the loudest signals on the car radio or doing chores etc, waiting for the traffic report or weather or news etc and there's limbaugh who says he watched all the video from the covington high school event and his professional opinion was the kids were model citizens who we would want as leaders some day - and millions out there, being too busy, can take his word for it, no need to waste 2 hours.

millions like that all over the country just because they bought up all those radio stations and liberals give it a free speech free ride. it is because we don't challenge those radio stations and even let our universities endorse them that those too busy or apathetic audience can believe him and the other blowhards who reinforce it - like hillary is a corrupt criminal etc
