Why would he give it to flopping aces and not present it himself, if that were the case?
This looks to me to be entirely sourced from The Hill this morning ......
Because he knows that if he breaks the story, the rest of the MSM will have an excuse to ignore it, which they probably will anyway.
It comes from The Hill, which (I believe) is seen as authoritative by the worker bees in the MSM. Therefore it has at least a theoretical chance of not going into the memory hole.
Hannity knows this, and therefore stood aside. The "tick tock" thing lets everyone who cares about such things know that he had advance knowledge before anyone else that the story was coming, presumably from his Friends In High Places.
He didn’t give it to them. They are getting it out first.
Sounds like the same subject Hannity was talking about.
