Hey, you must admit it's a full time job keeping up with BS collusion story for a year now.
half the battle is offsetting the daily narrative from MSM.
investigating might have been a poor choice of words...

I missed where he disclosed he was a client of Cohens when he was railing against the FBI raid. I'm sure I just missed that though.
I am kind of proud of this board that this has a 6-0 upvote lead.
Hannity is a fricking cancer. He spouts the most partisan hackery non-sense of pretty much anyone on tv. He is a disgrace.

I think Hannity had a similar problem to Cohen's other twoclients. Why would he go to him for advice? I mean if you have tax problems you go to a tax attorney, if you have drunk driving arrest you go to a criminal defense attorney, when you go through a divorce you go to a divorce attorney.
I actually thought as strange as Hannity is, he actually was a straight arrow in regards to his family and catholicism.

There's a major disconnect between how Cohen has proceeded with protecting Hannity's identity and how Hannity is now claiming that the representation was no big deal. I'm positive Hannity was asked whether they could disclose his name during the hearing and it's obvious he told them no. Not only that, I'm pretty sure he instructed them to appeal any ruling forcing the disclosure of his name. That sounds like someone who really did not want this disclosure to come to light.

So Hannity, in response to his name being called out as a client of Cohen's, stated on his radio show:
"Cohen never represented me in any matter, I never retained him in the traditional sense of retaining a lawyer, I never received an invoice from Cohen, I never paid any fees to Cohen...."
"BUT, I have had occasional brief discussions with Cohen about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective. And I assume that those conversations were attorney-client confidential..."
WHAT?!?!?!
:rotflmao:
You pitiful eyebrow-hairlined missing link of a moron. You just spoke the Webster's dictionary definition of what a how a client obtains the services from a legal attorney! Whether or not that lawyer accepts compensation or whether you pay him money, has nothing to do with it.
Attorneys perform pro bono legal services every day in this country, and the people they provide those services to are still their legal clients, and are protected under the same attorney-client privileges that clients that pay millions in fees are protected under.
This Hannity guy goes off the teleprompter, and first thing he says is "Go frick yourselves, San Diego!"

This happens, but always? Please be joking. Hannity isn't a classic news journalist either way, and I doubt he'd claim to be. His opinions should always be viewed in the context of biased in favor of the right, so your lie or naivete isn't even relevant.

If he didn't think his relationship rose to the level of client with Cohen, which his reaction indicates as a possibility, why would he or they?
Again, did CNN's news anchors disclose their relationship with Clinton or the DNC when they were hosting deabtes or generally shilling for her? Of course not, and why would we need them to? We knew they were/are in the tank for her or anyone on the left.

Yeah, I agree. Why in the hell would Hannity be so secretive about his dealings with Cohen if all it was was advice or general discussion about non-specific things. Plus, there's no shame until now about having the same attorney as Donald Trump. Hannity was a client of Cohen; not someone he occasionally went to for advice. If the relationship was as casual as Hannity claims why go to such lengths to keep it a secret?

Especially when your lawyer has arranged sleazy payoffs for each of his other clients
Other than that, I don't know why he would want that to be kept secret

This happens, but always? Please be joking, jerk wad. I can provide you a wealth of evidence to argue against your point, right here in this forum arguing the tripe that Fox News puts out. Journalism ethics codes requires disclaimers are added. Show me evidence of a REAL news report from the Associated Press that failed to do so - otherwise STFU with your lies and naivete, as it isn't even relevant.
See how I did that, jerk wad?? I can play you down to a "T". Not much substance to you, is there?

Kinda weird how Cohen claims he only represented three people and Hannity somehow became that third person by virtue of a few offhand conversations about real estate.

Care to provide any relevant point or explanation to this?? The Federal Judge DID NOT ask who Cohen represented in a court case or trial or legal proceeding. The Judge merely asked Cohen - through his attorney - who his legal clients are. Cohen gave Hannity legal advice in a way that Hannity expected it to be confidential under attorney-client privilege, but doesn't think that makes him Cohen's client???? It's not called "attorney-just some dude off the street" privilege for a reason.....
Remember that this is a hearing in a federal court before a federal judge, where the legal counsel representing Cohen, who himself happens to be an attorney to the President of the United States, testified under oath that Sean Hannity was one of Cohen's clients. Why would they get that wrong?

Why just the AP? CNN has been shown to have undisclosed associations with the DNC and Clinton campaign. It's out there, been discussed for a year on this board. The Podesta e-mails have dozens of examples of "journalists" that colluded with Hillary's campaign. It's been proven that many news execs were married or related to Obama admin officials for frick's sake. Now it's your turn to show articles or news reports from these people that included a disclosure of these relationships.
Stop being a bitch and recognize that you either lied or are blind.

Oh, and just to address your moronic attempt at whatever the frick you were saying, bold the word just before my use of "always" and see if your thick skull can comprehend the difference in what I said and what you think I said.

Probably because there was nothing to keep secret. Hannity wouldn't make such a firm statement about "never paying him money" if it weren't true. He has too much to lose by telling such a lie (which would come out considering Mueller has all the documents).
So, it seems Hannity did just as he said - he talked to Cohen from time to time about legal matters (not involving third parties). I see no reason for Hannity to lie about it at this point.
If you want to call him a "client" fine. I guess I am a "client" to the attorney I called for free legal advice years ago. I guess we're all "clients" of the various TD lawyers that answer legal questions on here from time to time.

And if everything Hannity said was true, he wouldn't feel the need to tell them "whatever you do, don't mention me as a client", which, of course, he did do.

Some serious mental gymnastics going on here. It doesn't matter what anyone here "wants" to call him. Cohen named him one of only 3 clients in court.
