re: Hannity and atty client privilege

Trump really causes their though process to skew as well so cut him some slack, he is uttering in the most coherent manner he can given the circumstances.

An English teacher would have a field day with what you've posted here. Lol. Ironic much?

OK, so I left a "t" off thought and had a questionable comma vs a period. I'm sure "LOL" goes over really well grammatically too there Mr. Irony, as well as "Ironic much?"

I find it strange that you expect so much leniency but offer none. That's the typical hypocrite that I would expect. Gfy, douchebag.

If I engage an attorney for legal advice, decide not to move forward, I would expect my conversations with said attorney would fall under attorney client privilege.

I would have never been billed. Am I wrong?

Nope. You are right. Privilege would attach.

The question is why was Hannity interested in concealing the fact that he was doing business with Cohen while blasting the investigation into Cohen.

---

...because his interaction with Cohen was insignificant, which aligns with his "not my attorney" comment.

Russian collusion has nothing to do with it. An honest journalist discloses possible conflicts of interest.

meh...especially given the level of dishonesty we see in the media every single day on the left.

My problem is; I’m still trying to figure out exactly what Hannity did wrong?

So, hypothetically, having the same lawyer as DJT is now a crime in this country?

Oh yeah...selective outrage!

No one has accused a Hannity of a crime.

Some have criticized him for blasting the Cohen raid when he might have been self interested.

I personally think his initial response was very dumb (legally) on his part.

quote:

---

Hannity is not a journalist and does not claim to be one.

---

He states that he's not a journalist when it suits him, but then he gets all pissy when Shep Smith says his show isn't news. Then all of a sudden he talks about all his sources and how he's breaking news every night on his show. If you claim to be reporting the news, then you're claiming to be a journalist. Just another example of Hannity trying to have his cake and eat it too.

quote:

---

1.) Hannity doesn't claim to be a journalist.

---

And yet he gets all pissy and claims to have journalistic sources and break news every night on his show when Shep Smith says his show isn't news. He considers himself a reporter of the news with developed sources that he uses to bring information to the people. That's a journalist. Except of course when it suits him to not be a journalist, and then he plays, "Wuh... me... journalist?" card like a dope.

quote:

---

2.) Do you really think that the fact that Hannity used Cohen in some fashion for legal advice changed his opinion of the Cohen raid? Hannity is 110% Trump. Cohen is one of Trump's lawyers. OF COURSE he is going to be against it. Whether or not he had connections with Cohen, Hannity was going to come out swinging against a raid on ANY Trump lawyer.

---

If you're asking me if I think Hannity is a shill who bases his take on things around how well it fits his preconceived narrative, the answer is yes. And I'm glad you see it too. But I doubt Hannity would welcome that description of himself. He would claim that he isn't a shill but is instead interested in the truth. So it's kind of pathetic to give him a pass on being judged by that standard just because it's obvious to any thinking person than he is the hack to end all hacks.
