If the doctor told me to go on a bunch of prescriptions, I would bring it up to my pharmacist friend. If I were to buy a new rental, I would ask my friend who is a realtor and my other friend who is a home inspector their insights... Why wouldn't I? Have you no friends?
Is Michael Cohen the type of person you want to be associate as a tv persona on Fox News who takes Trump's side? I suppose it depends on how you view Michael Cohen and how view Hannity. I take it you don't view any conflicts of interests in these relationships between Hannity, Cohen, and Trump.

It certainly doesn't help the "drain the swamp" image.

That's cute. I'm sure the GOP controlled government will get around to investigating it.....

Still playing that Uranium One game are ya? Debunked over and over again but that doesn't matter.

The money passed to the Iranians, well, it was their money. I agree we shouldn't have given it back to them just yet but nevertheless it was their money.

The guestion that many people since Hannity is a mouthpiece for Trump is was he given special assistance to BUY distressed properties as part of being anti-Hilary, anti-DNC, pro-Trump, pro-GOP or any other properties because of a special relationship with Trump and the GOP--

Yes--there are plenty of people in Congress who take advantage of insider trading
Tom Price, Trump's first choice for HHS who had to resign over his exorbitant travel expenses, was under SEC investigation because of owning stock in health/tech companies when he was on COngressional Committee evaluating and passing legislation that effected those same companies...alone with other Congressmen...

When Congress sets the budget for the SEC it can be very difficult to actually investigate and prosecute anyone in either party who takes advantage of their relationship with high-dollar donors, lobbyists, company boards, etc...
And frankly look at the 11 Congressmen who are pushing to have HRC and others in past administration investigated...that is a small minority of niche power group--politicizing their power for a political agenda
But they won't sign off on changing the rules of Congress so that sexual harassment claims are paid out of the guilty person's own pocket...
Hannity bought depressed real estate at a great time and in foreclosure.

That is smart.


I know a literal communist who buys into the stock market. Is that hypocrisy - or being an intelligent realist given the actual system?

I wasn't a huge fan of some of Obama's policies, but Obama offered me $8,000 to buy my first primary residence. I took the free money. Why not?


I haven't seen one piece of evidence of an illegal act or insider trading with Hannity. Could you please detail the evidence? I am sincerely willing to come around on this with evidence.

Cohen doesn't seem like a guy I would want to associate with. What does that have to do with anything we are discussing?

You have failed the points I made on your previous comments.

Obama hung out with people of ill repute at times in his life. It wasn't illegal or a sign or a crime on Obama's part.

He doesn't claim to be a journalist, he is a talk show host. Yet he has done more journalism than so called leftist journalists who print press releases or DNC talking points.

Now I'd really like to know what investments all the White House corps presstitutes have. Open season!

Of course there is no evidence at this point in time that Hannity obtained those properties illegally under special circumstances...
The news just came out that he was Cohen's client (which I doubt he really was---
that was likely just protective coloration for Trump and Cohen)...
But there could be--

Investigative journalists will now likely be doing some research, looking into public records and corporation filings--but maybe Hannity put those documents in countries like Panama where it is easy to establish shell corporations especially when people want to launder money...
Just have to wait and see how it developes...stay tuned...

Nope. Turnabout is fair play.

Funny to see all the posts defending Hannity for sneaking around, hiding behind shell companies to mooch off taxpayers.
