A legitimate news organization would fire him, a legitimate journalist would resign.
FOX News, and Sean Hannity, do not fit that description. Hannity is safe.
^^^ Yep. Fox News needs Hannity. They are pro Trump in every respect, and he fits right into that position. He will probably be able to lie his way out of it, after all, he is a very good liar, if you have ever listened to his "reports".
BUT BUT BUT -- this isn't something the left has created to try and get rid of Hannity.
Cohen -- Hannity's friend created this mess.
Why would Cohen claim Hannity is a client if he isn't?
Can any of you Hannity fans answer that?
Even Hannity threw a dig at the liberal media without addressing why his friend would lie in this situation and make such a fuss about Hannity being a client.
I agree. Mr. Hannity has obviously tried to distance himself from Mr. Cohen, by proclaiming that Mr. Cohen was never his attorney in any way, shape or form. Of course, there can therefore be no issue regarding 'attorney-client' privilege.
As such, I see no reason for Fox News to fire Mr. Hannity. It would have been perhaps proper for Mr. Hannity to at least mention that he knew Mr. Cohen, but he probably knows lots of people that he talks about on air.
Now, either Mr. Hannity is lying, or Mr. Cohen is lying. It could be that Mr. Cohen was rather desperate to cite at least one other 'client' besides Mr. Trump and that RNC guy. Just having two clients (at least, in the past year or two), for both of whom you negotiated non-disclosure agreements with women to hide relationships, does not sound good.
It does seem odd, with the stable of corporate attorneys that Fox News has (as per a person that appears on Fox news on occasion), that Mr. Hannity, if he had a simple real estate question, could not waddle down the hallway and pose a question to one of them.
How is using the same lawyer as the President a fireable offense?
Hannity did not disclose that Cohen was his attorney when he blasted DOJ for their search warrant that allowed them to get Cohen's law records, even when Hannity KNEW his own records were in Cohen's office.
Journalistic ethics required Hannity to tell his employer (FOX) and his viewers that he had a PERSONAL interest in the story he was covering.
Yet the left is pushing the narrative that Hannity did something wrong.
I'm not sure why you think Hannity or his lawyer had to disclose who the client was?
But, now that's it out there, why is the left trying to take down Hannity? Is it because they just don't care? Why?
I also don't see you going after your leftist buddy? Maybe it's because you agree with them?
I don't know why you think I think that they had to disclose it?
What I think about that has nothing to do with what happened.
The judge thought it had to be revealed. Plain and simple.
I don't know why anyone wants to take down Hannity? Ask them...maybe they think he's lying. And who knows. Somebody is lying. Why is it Cohen and not Hannity? I don't know do you?
What leftist buddy?
All I was saying is all you folks seem to be doing is protecting Hannity and throwing insults at the 'left', the media, etc. without addressing that somebody is lying?
Extremely unethical what Hannity did. He railed against the FBI raid and supported Cohen, without disclosing that he was involved with Cohen.
If one of MSNBC's or CNN's prime time hosts like Maddow or Lemon had done exactly what Hannity just did, Hannity himself would be railing against them. And I bet every single Fox News viewer has the humility to admit that.
What’s ironic with Hannity and all these “conservative” idols is that they *are* what they constantly criticize (rich corrupt elites) which makes their fans total fools.
With Trump being the pinnacle of this disconnect: An elite coastal (both east (NYC) AND west (Hollywood)) snob.
I’m always puzzled by this. Why do y’all “conservatives” respond to “Elite Hollywood” bashing and “drain the swamp” by following and voting for the exact stereotype that fits this description?!
Even worse are the Family Values Evangelicals who support Trump.
