Dem lawmaker calls on Fox News to fire Hannity
The Hill ^ | 16 Apr 2018 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 04/16/2018 3:43:43 PM PDT by mandaladon

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said Monday that Fox News should fire Sean Hannity following the revelation that he is a client of President Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

Hannity has frequently covered stories about Cohen — including the FBI raids on the New York lawyer's home, hotel room and office last week — without revealing his own connection.

“I think he is so into this like a pig in the mud he can’t get out of it. And I think he deserves to be fired. His word can never again be trusted,” Connolly said on CNN. Connolly said Hannity’s involvement with Cohen represents a conflict of interest, calling it “a big stain on Hannity and Fox News.”

He also hit Hannity for spreading conspiracy theories about former President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

Cohen’s attorney revealed earlier Monday that Hannity is the previously unnamed third client for whom Cohen has done legal work. The revelation came during a hearing connected to the FBI raids.

Cohen's attorney revealed Hannity's identity as they sought to argue they should be able to review materials seized in the raid before federal prosecutors, so that they can determine what documents are protected by attorney–client privilege.

Hannity asked legal questions of Cohen. Cohen received no fee.

But this hypocrite doesn’t think all the “journalists” that were colluding with the Hillary campaign to get her the presidency should be fired at all.

To a Democrat, seeking legal advice is a hanging offense.

Of course, unless you a Democrat having a lawyer.

From what Sean has said he did hot hire Mr. Cohen. He only asked for some legal advice pro bono. No money exchanged hands.

Would say that Fox News isn't stupid enough to fire their biggest ratings juggernaut...

Democrats have become.complete psychopaths. They have proved themselves to be very dangerous. Hope this liberal doesn’t act out in some bizarre liberal way.

I’d better check my lawyer’s creds; I don’t want to be tossed in jail or fired just because I’m his client.

Mr. Hannity should call on American citizens to fire Democratic lawmakers. They are the enemies of the Republic. Not an opinion journalist with a TV camera.
