Plus...Liz is using Hannity's text messages as evidence. How pathetic.

quote:

As some of then-President Donald Trump’s closest allies hit the exits after the violence of the Jan. 6 insurrection, longtime informal adviser and Fox News host Sean Hannity took a different approach: He tried to convince Trump that he could use his office to help heal some of the wounds from the insurrection.

Trump was a lame duck, facing a second impeachment with only two weeks left in office. He had few friends, a skeleton staff, and was coming out of a public relations nightmare. His powers were limited. But he still had one unlimited power: the presidential pardon.

On Thursday, the Jan. 6 Committee released text messages between Hannity and then-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. In those text messages, Hannity appears to debrief McEnany on a conversation he had with Trump the day after the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

One item from that conversation: “He was intrigued by the pardon idea!! (Hunter)”
quote:

A person familiar with the conversations confirmed to The Daily Beast that the “Hunter” in the text was, in fact, Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden and a longtime target of conservative critics—Hannity foremost among them.

According to the source, Hannity had proposed that Trump issue a last-minute pardon for Hunter Biden, whose business dealings had two years prior been at the center of the ex-president’s campaign to extort an investigation out of the Ukrainian government—efforts that led to Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.

Hannity pitched the idea in a Jan. 7 conversation, framing it as a gesture that might help “smooth things over” after the insurrection’s traumatic rift, this person confirmed. But ultimately, the idea, like others in the text to McEnany—such as “no more stolen election talk” and “attending inauguration”—ultimately went nowhere.

“It died on the vine,” the person recalled, adding that, despite Trump’s initial interest, the pardon was “never seriously considered.”

Does Sean Hannity qualify as the biggest douche in the United States?

I used to watch and listen to him but I stopped after I found out that he was a turncoat pile of garbage. As for me, this guy no longer exists

That's a good question.

He had a House candidate on his radio show last week (I forgot who it was) but the guy brought up election fraud and asked Hannity why he and the GOP wouldn't talk about.

Hannity immediately talked over him and changed the subject twice.

Trump listened to him throughout his Presidency.

But don't worry. I'm sure Trump will be totally different if you elect him again.

Dude, you voted for Biden.

Sadly, you would vote Biden over Trump again...wouldn’t you?

Fox News is bi-polar.

It would have left more stank on the Biden's than the media will ever put on them.

I'm hoping Trump counter proposed that Hannity do something anatomically impossible with himself.

A person familiar with the conversations blah blah blah

Appears to blah blah blah

I just saw that little fatty ostrich egg Brian Stelter trashing Hannity for this that and the other thing and everything in between. Looks like an enemy of the left to me. I appreciate Hannity for what it is. Can’t believe anyone is still taking at face value a single damn thing puked out by any liberal media f*cksticks.

It would get him fired, and likely sued into bankruptcy, but Tucker could decimate Hannity within 15 minutes just by telling his audience that Hannity is a fraud, a charlatan, a fake hanger oner with no morals or allegiances other than to the almighty dollar.

"... and if you watch him, you're giving credibility where he has none. Stop watching and FOX will replace him, hopefully with someone like our good friends Candice Owen or former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard."
