CORRECTION: Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's mystery client is Fox News host Sean Hannity

From New York Magazine, Operation Trump, by Gabriel Sherman April 3, 2016

Throughout 2014, the three (Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, and Sam Nunberg) fed Trump strategy memos and political intelligence. “I listened to thousands of hours of talk radio, and he was getting reports from me,” Nunberg recalled. What those reports said was that the GOP base was frothing over a handful of issues including immigration, Obamacare, and Common Core.

I can see why judges and prosecutors in this case might be entitled to this information - but wouldn't it still be confidential as far as the public is concerned?

I ask because I really don't know.

From what I read, client lists are not confidential. Activity with clients is, but not the clients themselves. Of course, someone out there can give you a more authoritative answer.

or the rug Hillary used to wrap Vince Foster in.🙄 I bet he pops a binkey in his mouth 30 seconds into his show.

Cohen is actually the legal attorney for court, his just the middle man to make life altering, but stupid decisions go away. Does he have a active family?

It could be like a goat or a chicken

him very busy. Cannot make this up.

The court told him that if he didn't name them, any claims to attorney-client privilege for the unnamed were completely out the window.

It's obviously a good source of entertainment and displays Hannity's lack of ethics, but is it consequential in any way?

I'd bet. Fixers fix something.

Also, Hannity has been screaming about the raid on Cohen's office, never disclosing he was a client.

That people knew Cohen was dirty and associating themselves with him must mean there is something out there.

ergo, Hannity's recent shit-fits on-air about the Cohen raid, WITHOUT mentioning that his own information was scooped up in the aforementioned raid, looks VERY suspicious

Severe conflict of interest for Sean Hannity to report and comment on Michael Cohen without disclosing that Cohen was Hannity's lawyer.

Not that Hannity had much credibility to lose, but not even Fox News can ignore this conflict. LOL!

Ignore every bit of this and pretend it never happened...except any parts that might suit their agenda.

You can't put attributes of an actual news operation anywhere near them.

they studied, used talk radio ..... there they are with cohen, using talk radio, and maybe coordinating it with russian trolling - why wouldn't they try to pay limbaugh and hannity?

russian money?

It never occurred to me that money was going the other way! Not from Hannity to a mistress but TO Hannity to reward his shilling for Dennison.

You can bet hungry bloggers are on the case. Is there a lady out there trying to blackmail you, Sean?

he wouldn’t need a “fixer.”🤔🤔🤔

Because he's going to be needing them again in the not-too-distant future. That is, if his wife has anything to say about it.

"Hey Sean, Donnie here. I understand you have a, er, "situation" with some broad. I know a guy - I'll send you my guy. He's great. By the time he's done with her she'll shut her trap forever. You're welcome. Now, here is what I want you to say on your program tomorrow - get it?"

just one guy helping out a bro.

If he has a problem similar to Stormy, he can be manipulated by the Russians to prop up Trump.

Boom!

She subsequently ordered him to "release" the name and he stood up in the court room and said "Sean Hannity".

"Can I say it to you in piglatin perhaps?"
"No"
"How about if I write it in disappearing ink?"
"Just tell me or get the fuck out, idiot"

"SEAN HANNITY!!!"

the other reporters in the room to cover the story were stamping on the floor, laughing their heads off. The Judge had to call "order" in the courtroom!

Hannity's epic rants against Mueller while not telling the public that he is a client of the President's lawyer

would not permit any trace of connection or collusion between any employee and possible government agencies. I'm sure FAUX NEWS will eliminate ANY possible suspicion or connection between Mr. Hannity and Mr. Cohen or relationship between Mr. Hannity and anybody in the executive branch of the government of the United States.

(Oh, shit, I crack me up!

Hannity should be taken off the air immediately. This PROVES Fox Noise is nothing but a right-wing propaganda megaphone.

If a movie script it would be trashed...to crazy

Fair and balanced...

THAT is a GREAT pic and caption!!!!

But this is too much!

"How sweet it is!" - INDEED!!!!!!!!!!

My grandfather was a Republican, a successful businessman, and a distinguished WWII vet, and I guarantee that he would be absolutely disgusted by the GOP today. They represent literally everything he fought against his entire life.

You couldn't be an entertainer, particularly a comedian, at that level of success without possessing an extraordinary amount of empathy and experience in "having been through it" along with the rest of us.

James Stewart is another example. He is one of my favorite actors. He was a distinguished WWII bomber pilot. He was a Republican. He was also, by all accounts, a kind, generous, and gentle man.

The Republican party has morphed over many decades into something much more twisted, evil, and dark. The GOP is not the "party of Lincoln", or even Eisenhower, anymore.

Thanks for the pic - what a great coincidence

Or maybe Sean didn't know any good lawyers so he asked his good buddy Donnie Two-Scoops to recommend one.

You're right. Could be journalism ethics, free speech limits, professional associations, or an investment opportunity.

It's all abuzz because, thus far, fairly or unfairly, Mr. Cohen's practice seem to be limited to specific types of cases.

So the revelation was bound to be spectacular. And most people can hazard a guess as to what it's about!

Mark my words, some crimes he has been hiding will come to light, he is far from innocent. His tiny small lipless puckered mouth that looks like a butt hole will go far in prison

SUCH a visual - you've done so many Hannity haters a great service!!

Keep it up - and welcome to DU!

and thanks! I Love this site!

Aiding and abetting is equally punished along with the perpetrators

to be delivered to the Trump campaign, Trump paid Hannity by giving him one of his castoff women, Hannity got her pregnant and forced her to abort, and ...

Because there is just nothing more absurd or comedic than the reality we are living in. They literally cannot make this stuff up.

To support trump? And when did that happen?

but ideologically Hannity agrees with everything Trump does or has ever done ... are you saying Sean would say something different if he weren't pressured? Anything is possible I suppose, but I doubt it.

*Deep inhale*

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

5...4...3...

any shit as convoluted as this. OR COURSE it's sean fucking hannity1 BWAHAAHAHAAHAAA!!!

Some skilled editorial cartoonist needs to depict in detail a nasty 3-way going between trump, Cohen and Hannity. That image needs to go on a t-shirt, which I will buy and wear proudly. I am so loving this!

It is gold.

No wonder Hannity is so manically defending and raving on Trump. There's probably some underhanded Russian business connection they share and Cohen is the one common denominator that was maneuvering his investment alongside Donnie.

1) What woman or man did Cohen pay off for Sean?

b) Am I wrong to think that Hannity and Fox get many of their talking points
straight from Russia?

I don't think we would have had this revelation without her.

he tells it like it is.

His assertion in that motion that he has clients other than Trump who don't want their documents revealed to the DOJ.

In response, the judge demanded his list his clients. Voila. Mission Accomplished.

Can't blame/give credit to Stormy for this self-inflicted wound.

Avenatti must be pinching himself.

I thought for sure that it would be a Russian they were protecting, but this is actually better.

Hannity should be fired from FOX today, but he won't be.

Paid it through Cohen? Wouldn't that be peachy?

The wife just asked me what is so funny...’nothing hun.’

Think I will have a bourbon!!

FUCKING Traitor!!!!!!!!

Self described “journalist” Sean Hannity in bed with Trump, Cohan and the Russian mob!!

If Fox “news” doesn’t immediately fire Putin cock holster Hannity, it proves they have been colluding with Trump and the Russians all along!!!!

Oh how the mighty have fallen!!!!

this answer is correct!

Hookers? Male or female? What are your payments Sean hmm???

Shit just got real for Sean Handjob yeehaw!!

These guys really are their own worst enemies.

Corrupt dumbasses.

And now we all say: "Ewwwwww!"

...this bears repeating:


“...denn sie kommt von Herzen!”

Auf Englisch: Schadenfreude is the most beautiful joy, because it comes from the heart.”

Heartfelt wishes to Sean and the Mrs.

Thoughts and prayers to follow shortly.

No he didn’t represent me as an attorney, but like IQ45 a consigliere... ha!

Of course no one with half a brain every confused anyone at the right wing propaganda Pravda wannabes of being journalists, but still...

It's worth noting that an earlier propagandist, Joseph Goebbels couldn't keep his pants on either.

Jesus!! How do you HIRE this guy?? Works for ten bucks,pays $130k settlements out of his OWN pocket. What a guy!!!

Jesus H. Christ on a bike, I hate Hannity.

👻

Cohen's "fixer" role with sex workers and unexpected mothers was a necessary sideline.

Remember that Mueller's and the DOJ's interest in Cohen is really about business deals with Russians going back years. Mueller turned over the Cohen issue to the SDNY to ensure that the investigation would survive his departure.

Cohen facilitated the meetings with Sater, Stone, Page, Flynn, Prince, and others. Being in the middle between Trump and the Oligarch/Mafia made Cohen a valuable resource that was supposed to work under the radar. Hannity's involvement with Cohen is likely tied to the Russia story, rather than the sex worker distraction. He was likely the tie to Pravda/FOX.
