Sean Hannity linked to shell companies that spent $90M on property
The Hill ^ | 04/22/18 | Morgan Gstalter

Fox News host Sean Hannity is linked to a group of shell companies that have spent $90 million buying hundreds of homes across the U.S through the help of foreclosures and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Guardian reported Sunday.

More than 870 homes in seven different states have been purchased over the past decade, ranging from large mansions to rentals for low-income families, according to the newspaper.

For some of the mortgages, Hannity reportedly obtained funding from HUD under the National Housing Act loan program, which was first guaranteed under President Obama’s administration.

Secretary Ben Carson’s department recently increased Hannity’s original $17.9 million mortgage for purchases in Georgia by an additional $5 million, records obtained by the Guardian show.

Hannity did not disclose his cooperation with HUD when he had Carson on his show last June, the Guardian noted.

I fail to see an issue.

This is the gist of it - unless he received special backdoor favors from HUD, he’s done nothing wrong and should not have to mention it on air.
Even if Ben Carson were to run for office, it’s not as if Hannity is politically contributing to him.

And I heard Hannity interview the FAA guy without disclosing his use of private planes.

Some say he even speaks to Mattis without disclosing that he used to play defense for his hockey team.

I wonder if this is the exposure they meant or is there something else they have in mind?

This is really none of our business. Are they tracking whens he eats and sleeps, too?

If Sean broke the law- that’s different. But from a brief scan it looks like part of his investment strategy.

Hannity is apparently “colluding” with HUD...

Shell companies aren’t illegal. However, the Clintons and their Foundations more than likely used shell companies for tax evasion, tax avoidance and money laundering.

When you are in the public eye like Hannity is then you have to remain above reproach no matter what

....only if your are a conservative. Is that what you mean by "like Hannity"? He is an opinion commentator, not a news journalist.

When you are in the public eye like Hannity is then you have to remain above reproach no matter what, that extends to your family life and your investments. Hannity, like many in the media, probably should restrict their investments to extreme conservative things. In fact probably should invest only in certain bonds and securities and away from anything that is remotely liable to be controversial.

So we have another case where conservatives have to travel a narrow road that the rest of the world is exempt from?

What's worse is the idea that conservatives have to self-exile themselves from the opportunities that the rest of the world takes advantage of.

Warren Buffet is the 2nd largest home owner. His company bought 10’s of thousands of homes.

I’m no Hannity fan, but still...find me ONE Congress Critter that has NOT gotten wealthy on the backs of, ‘We The People’ while in office!

Most of them are total wheeler-dealers in real estate.

And, yes. I understand President Trump is, too - but HE did it with his own (or borrowed/family) cash, not MINE!

Truth is insignificant. They pound him mercilessly because he is a threat. Hannity’s getting a lower dose Trump treatment.

Let me know when there’s sufficient evidence to file charges against him.Until then I couldn’t give a rat’s hindquarters.

Funny, I would assume he is free to invest his money as he wishes.

Seeing 70 replies of people furiously insisting on this point, I take it this exposes some hypocrisy: rants against foreclosures, using federal loans he did not need, etc.

Thanks for the head’s up, gang.

That’s what I say. AND???

People are investing in cheap housing across the nation. They are following the rules and if the rules change, they follow the adjusted ones.

What IS the implication here. The Hill has no case.

Until Big Mouth Laura Ingraham publicly blabbed how “in” she is with Sean and revealing how she “knows that he has real estate all over the place”, who knew. She gave the Hill an opening with her brainless BLABBING to go snoop around and see the extent of his RE holdings. This is all they came up with? LOL!

Recall that Sean mentioned that a question on RE with Cohen was the extent of his relationship with him, other than they are long time acquaintances.

Thanks to Laura, the snooping definitely geared up on speed dial. GAD, she can be a loud mouth numb-skull, for all her bragging of Supreme Court careering. I mute her, and listen only to her guests, but only once in awhile.
