Sean Hannitys Ties to Two More Trump-Connected Lawyers
Source: The Atlantic
Sean Hannity has had no shortage of lawyers. In court on Monday, his name was disclosed as the third mystery client of Donald Trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen. Though Hannity says he was never actually Cohens client, he does appear to have used the legal services of other well-connected Trump-world lawyers in a different matter a year ago.
On May 25, 2017, KFAQ, a radio station based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, received a cease-and-desist letter signed by two lawyers for Hannity: Victoria Toensing and Jay Alan Sekulow. Toensings signature sits above her name and that of her husband Joseph E. diGenova, the members of diGenova and Toensing LLP, who are identified as Counsel for Sean Hannity, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Atlantic. Sekulow is also identified in the letter page as a Counsel for Sean Hannity.
Sekulow is now the only known personal attorney for President Trump working full-time on the response to Special Counsel Robert Muellers inquiry. Sekulow recently announced that diGenova and Toensing had been hired to join him, before reversing course. The letter to the radio station was sent before Sekulow joined Trumps team.
The letter was sent in response to accusations against Hannity made by the controversial conservative activist Debbie Schlussel. During an appearance on the Pat Campbell show on KFAQ last April, Schlussel said Hannity had been creepy towards her and had invited her to his hotel room.

(60,010 posts)Dinner talk to night with family, wondering what Hannity was doing in all this,...then: Hannity.....Fox...and now Sinclair.
spreading lies continuously thru increased sources of propaganda.
Control over major Gov. functions...DSHS, Treasury, law enforcement, both Houses of Congress, and, some say now, SCOTUS.
Now increased sporadic "hackers" of internet.
would you be surprised if the Internet crashed for vital periods of time?
Or that we may be the middle of a bloodless coup?
I could not come up with a counter-point tonight.
