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!
Wow. You laugh at your own ignorance? Oh wait nevermind. You don't realize that you're ignorant. Well here, let me clear some things up for you.
Hannity said that Cohen never represented him. This was a lie. This lie is troublesome because of all of his open criticism towards Robert Mueller special counsel and also the raiding of Cohen. Pretty big conflict of interest.
It's not a crime and it's not illegal it's just unethical. I don't know why anybody is surprised either though because Fox News analysts have pretty much been that way since the beginning

What? Perhaps you shouldn't call others ignorant. You can absolutely have attorney client privileged conversations without ever being represented by that attorney. It is not uncommon at all. Your ignorance of that well-established rule doesn't negate its existence.
As for the conflict of interest...Who is the conflict with? Hannity is an opinion show. You telling me he was a respected journalist until this revelation?
Now...there are some actual potential conflicts in this case that I bet you don't care about.

Sean is buddy buddy with cyber terrorist Assange, and is general POS who can’t have the client privilege both ways.

She ran, as a Democrat, for a seat in the Virginia State Senate, and she received donations from other Virginia Democrats. Wow... shocking.
No need to be sorry though. It's actually pretty hilarious how the hacks you must get your opinions from have you so worked up over it that you remembered it as if the donations were from the Clinton Foundation, an idea as ridiculous as it is false.

The animus with all of this should be interesting to follow. Dan Bongino reported on his podcast yesterday that Lisa Page has been brought over to do work on Mueller's SC team.

I seriously doubt you have friends or associates that are lawyers simply based on your sub elementary grammar. But let’s just give you the benefit of the doubt.
Do you want any of your conversations with anyone about anything subject to being available to everyone in this country?
My grammar is pretty good.
You apparently don't understand that "any of your conversations with anyone about anything" are already subject to being available to everyone in many states, given the fact that many states...Tennessee being one of them...only require one party's permission to record a conversation.
You don't need to be an attorney, or even have had a law class, to know that. In fact, anyone who thinks, for example, that they may find themselves involved in a divorce proceeding at some point in the future needs to be aware of that. Your spouse who may be contemplating divorce may legally, and without your knowledge, record every conversation she has with you in the "privacy" of your own home. Those recordings are hers to share with whomever she pleases.

There are a number of situations in which someone has communication with an attorney and the person does not become a client of the attorney. Consultations happen routinely where the prospective "client" does not retain the attorney with the attorney learning certain information that he/she would not be able to reveal under the rules of professional conduct.
In today's heightened political environment with gluttonous social media consumption, everyone is an expert.

4 to 1 downvotes from the Trump nation here who have become delusional about the Idiot President and his State-Run-Propaganda Agents such as Hannity. Sean -- you can't have it both ways -- "not my lawyer , but attorney client protection." Ya'll need to move to Russia, the Philippines, or Turkey so that you can forfeit democracy and live in a country in the mold of what Donald wants the US to become.

Have whatever opinion you want about Hannity, but no attorney-client relationship does not = no attorney-client privilege.

You can absolutely have not my lawyer but attorney client protection. Now whether Sean qualifies for that, I don't know. I think it depends on what was discussed.
I do think the reason that Cohen asserted this was that he recorded calls with Hannity that he does not want prosecutors looking at.

Seems that this thread is short on facts and legal knowledge.

The guy who was disparaging others while not being aware himself of one-party consent laws is a pretty good example.

That is incorrect. There must be an attorney-client relationship for the privilege to exist. Hannity can still be a client though even without paying for services which is what Hannity inartfully tried to explain. Hannity had an attorney-client relationship with Cohen, he just wanted to highlight that it was not the same type of relationship ("the fixer") as others.

Getting into semantics...the point is someone doesn't have to be your attorney for a privilege to exist. If you go to a consult with a divorce attorney...spill your guts, then decide to hire someone else....the gut spilling is privileged and that attorney couldn't represent your wife either.

Yes, striking isn’t it?
I’ll never understand Agent Orange’s hold on these people. You’d think he has their parents held at gun point.

You have had many many people here, including several attorneys, educate you on your ignorance. Your response is this? Useful idiot. You aren't even smart enough to realize it. Sad.

So the left wants to play "Guilt by Association", eh? Careful what you wish for.
