Sean Hannity linked to shell companies that spent $90M on property

Sean looks like he got involved in some complicated investments. Doesn’t help his credibility in some areas.

What's so complicated about buying rental real estate or fixer-uppers for sale? It is routine. It is also routine to use shell companies to do so, especially if the person behind the shell is well-known or perceived as having deep pockets.

[Ouderkirk]

And?

That's what I was thinking.

He didn't do anything illegal, and sounds EXACTLY like what Senator Lizzy "Injun" Warren did, and Tony Rezko, and Vallery Jarrett.

[Titus-Maximus]

What about Pocahontas and her family of evicters, any more follow up?
Did’nt think so.

[americas.best.days...]

Or as to paraphrase George Carlin, “ it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”

[tennmountainman]

Seems like he invests in low income housing as well as mansions.
Sounds like a fair and balanced investor.

Quite legal and smart.

This is getting embarrassing. Laughable. Hannity interviewed Carson without divulging his personal - and apparently legal - transactions in the real estate market? The left is desperate.

The links between the Democratic Party and numerous journalists, and the resulting conflicts of interest, are commonplace, yet no disclosures of potential "conflicts of interest" are ever demanded.

[Kalamata]

Satan’s little demons, hard at work.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

As did Warren Buffett and a lot of other leftward heroes.

[demsux]

Good for him.

[rbg81]

I’ll wager its Hannity’s Investment Manager doing this and not Hannity himself. Seems like he would be more than busy enough doing other things.

Translation:

The corrupt state is getting nervous—Hannity must be alinksied and taken down. Hannity is one of only 2 or 3 talking heads really taking the wood to our corrupt stasi state.

[Vaquero]

He’s a capitalist? Who’d a thunk it.

[Captain Peter Blood]

The so is this. 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.

His investment in this kind of real estate venture doesn’t really look good publicly. He will have to address it like his connection with Cohen.

[Ken H]

“This stuff should be private.”

The Swamp Media will regret this. Now every one of them is fair game for a look into their financial lives.

[Electric Graffiti]

“This stuff should be private. Did they steal all this info from Cohen?”

Good question

[Captain Peter Blood]

If we are talking about a few houses, that is one thing, anything on the level he is on is another. It’s the perception not the legality.

[Steve_Seattle]

"his cooperation with HUD"

"Cooperation"? Did he obtain special favors? No evidence of that is offered. Did he just work within the context of existing programs? Apparently. So what is the problem? And why are some people here suggesting that using commonly available programs makes you part of "the club"? Is anyone who obtains an FHA loan part of "the club"?

[blueyon]

Big question being asked is how did this LEAK out???

[Steve_Seattle]

"If we are talking about a few houses, that is one thing, anything on the level he is on is another. It’s the perception not the legality"

The perception of exactly WHAT?

[EdnaMode]

The media is desperate.
