re: Hannity and atty client privilege

Mr. Trump has seized on the fact that Mr. McCabe’s wife, Jill, ran for a Virginia State Senate seat as a Democrat and received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from a political ally of Mrs. Clinton.

NY Times article

Ohhhh. I’m sorry. It was “””””an ally of Ms Clinton””””.

Have you some more.

McCabe's problems stem from news coverage shortly before Election Day. Reporters were writing stories about tensions within the FBI involving its investigation of Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. One of them alluded to the campaign contributions McCabe's wife had received from then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a close Clinton ally.

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.

---

He's a conservative commentator, that doesn't restrict him from using journalistic sources in his shows. Nor does him using journalistic sources mean that he's a journalist. I'm not quite sure what your gripe is and you don't seem so sure either, you're all over the place.

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.

---

You don't seem to know what the term shill means. I don't doubt that Hannity actually believes that his stances/viewpoints on various issues are correct and I give him a pass because there's nothing wrong with political commentators having biases so long as they're forthcoming about said biases.

Not every single person who reports or comments on the happenings in our country has to report all sides fairly. While I do think that is a much harder job to do, and a much more important job to do, there is still a place for political commentators in our media.

I believe Shapiro is a troll. I think he makes great points; but I believe he goes to these extremely liberal campuses to troll.

His message would have more of an impact at more “middle” schools. But he does it to troll. He does it for the attention.

Plus; he’s a never Trumping douche whose ending at Breitbart was more douchey.

It's tough to nail down intent. That's one possibility as to why he's insistent on going to these universities. Another reason could be he's doing so to highlight their intolerance, or maybe he's taking the Christian approach of "the sick need a doctor more than the healthy do" just with his particular brand of politics.

I do know that Shapiro has said he's gone to a few of these universities in the past, like 5ish years ago, with no problems. I can't recall any specific universities, but if this is the case this would suggest its not simply to troll since he was already doing these sorts of events before there was backlash. No doubt the backlash has made his events more newsworthy and to some extent, probably a large extent, acted as a signal booster for him, but you still see a similar behavioral pattern if this is the case.

I wonder if the left would rather just eat these 6.5 years or continue to #resist and cause division in this country or bring us closer to a civil war.

You wonder about this? Their actions have left no doubt in my mind.

Myself as well but what I've wondered about is why Shawn bothers even discussing this. He should say he has used the same lawyer as Trump and move on.

Phuck those leftist libtard cocksuckers. They do that shite all the time.

Ah, the ever present but totally invisible high and righty rule book! It only becomes corporeal when you need it to make (up) a point. Sorry that pointing out pin heads makes you feel violated

What? Rule 1.6 is the rule of professional conduct for lawyers that discusses attorney/client privilege. You are having a very unique and entertaining melt.

He seems to know it all and always got something to say about Russian collusion as if he was being investigated...............wait

---

The SDNY is investigating Cohen and that is the case Hannity's name cam up. Mueller handed the evidence of alleged financial crimes to the SDNY. It has zero to do with Russia. If there was ANY Russia connection, Mieller wouldn't have turned it to another investigator. I mean....do you realize how silly you look when you thing you are being clever?

Hannity and atty client privilege
I think the relevant question is... why are you so interested in what a TV and radio show hosts' dealings with an attorney are? Why would you possibly care? I guess Hannity is a deep deep deep cover Russian mole, huh... and the actual mastermind behind all the colluding that went on?

---

My question as well, why should I care?

Hannity said in general everything is protected by attorney client privilege, he wasn't speaking about himself in particular.

But in this case, a judge will decide that.

I find it odd that so many liberals just don't give a frick about civil rights if it means they can get Trump.

Too stupid to figure out that these tactics could end up being used against them if we allow it to happen
