The FOX News host is refusing to stop his investigation into the grisly murder of Seth Rich.
Sean Hannity, FOX News host went out on a limb Tuesday in defense of his coverage, calling his critics "phony hypocrites." Hannity wants to know who killed Seth Rich, even if the mainstream media and his own colleagues want him to stop.
The murder of Seth Rich, a young Democratic National Committee staffer, has inspired a lot of speculation in the right-wing media and on FOX, the gist of which is that he was murdered by Democratic operatives as revenge for being a whistleblower who delivered the notorious DNC emails to WikiLeaks. If Rich were the leaker, the thinking goes, there wouldn't have been any Russian hacking, therefore the entire investigation into the Trump campaign's Russian connections would be nonsense.
But the theory is bigger than any one figure—it's so huge it has its very own subreddit.
Hannity spent much of Tuesday tweeting about Rich. His big "source" is Kim Dotcom, a New Zealand webpreneur. Dotcom has been claiming for days that he knew Rich, and that he has information that proves Rich had delivered a collection of DNC emails to WikiLeaks. On Tuesday, what was revealed was a blog post at Dotcom's website, Kim.com, about a person in 2014 who went by "Panda" chatting with Dotcom about "corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics." Dotcom claims that Panda was Rich and hinted vaguely about more to be revealed in the future. On Tuesday night, Hannity is scheduled to interview Dotcom on his show.
Throughout Tuesday afternoon, Hannity carried on talking about the Seth Rich case on his radio show. Times.
"I am not FOX.com or FOXNews.com. I retract nothing," he told listeners.

Hannity just backed off...No mention of Dotcom guy tonight....
Seth Rich’s family asked him to back-off.. So I heard.
"Ok TO BE CLEAR, I am closer to the TRUTH than ever. Not only am I not stopping, I am working harder. Updates when available. Stay tuned!"
Maybe but I'm not so sure. He said he would stop discussing it. I didn't hear him say he would stop investigating it.
It doesn't really matter what the family wants. Justice doesn't follow the wishes of the living relatives; it follows the evidence. Let's see where they evidence leads...
He also retweeted Kim.com again and Used a justice for Seth Rich hashtag.
Sean did back off on Fox News. But I think he still is in the hunt overall
That is an "interesting" family. And the girlfriend? George Webb calls it a school play.
Body Language: Seth Rich family
You can even ignore the commentary and just watch them.
“Maybe but I’m not so sure. He said he would stop discussing it. I didn’t hear him say he would stop investigating it.”
That is precisely how I heard it.
You know something. (not a question).
Won’t be too long before Hannity and who ever else is interested discover that there are TENS OF THOUSANDS, MAYBE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids who have a particular skill set honed by 16 years of US combat operations against an insurgency opponent.
“I WILL find you, and I WILL kill you” kind of stuff.
Hannity only has the problem of finding the guys he needs, and that isn’t much of a problem. The pool of people who have that skill set is rather large.
Anybody trying to use “muscle” against people they want to keep silent these days is taking his or her life into his or her own hands.
Besides that, from what i understand, Hannity has some skills of his own in that respect. Threatening his family is NOT a good idea.
CRTV and Michelle Malkin should get on this if they have the guts to do it. They have no advertisers.
Someone who is a reliable wikileaks partner posted a video response to Kim Dotcom’s antics. He was basically called a charlatan and a hanger on who is only inserting himself into matters that he is not involved in for publicity purposes. If you follow wikileaks/ Julian Assange on twitter you can find a better link to video if you dont like this one.
TL;DR Dotcom was basically called a big phony.
Have you considered the deep state is deploying terrorist attacks/threats against anyone discussing Seth Rich?
He was forced to say he won’t be talking about it on his tv show.
So many people are so cruel to Hannity on twitter right now. Just because he is fighting to be the truth out, at the risk of his job. No other talker is this brave. If you agree with me, add to the #IstandwithHannity hashtag on twitter. At the very least it will warm Sean’s heart as he fights for justice for Seth Rich. Even Seth’s own family appears to have been threatened or unduly influenced.
Sean is starting to act up. He probably feels like the Last of the Mohicans. Glenn Beck keeps leaving voice mail and texts; “Hey Sean, old buddy, Call Me. Let’s have lunch, My treat!!!”
I thought Glenn Beck invested in Gold Line for his security in gold and silver? His radio show ads for Gold Line makes you think he’s an expert and a very savvy investor. Is he really broke?
The “weaponized autistics” aren’t letting this go even if Sean does.
Seriously, Sean doesn’t care about the salary as much as he does his relationship with his viewers and being able to inform and opine and even entertain. He’s been talking the last couple of weeks as if he knows his tv job is tenuous. So why would he drop this coverage? Clearly something more important was threatened. I’d agree: the kids.
Seems like Fox was this close to losing Hannity too.
Hohoho.
Hannity just said: “hopefully, we will see you here tomorrow night”. His job was on the line tonight.
There is evidence in the cameras, in forensics, in the hospital Seth was taken to. There isn’t the slightest doubt this was a sloppy hit job. Assange, last summer, went out on a limb by almost revealing his source. I will never forget that nor the story Terry Reed told to us in his book, “Compromised”. Nor will I forget the sinister Bob Creamer, on the Project Veritas video. Creamer told us exactly how ruthless he and his bosses can be. “Diabolical” was how Scott Fogel described Obama’s frequent WH visitor. Sean Hannity has gone up in my esteem for standing with Trump against the mob.
Hannity’s goal was to get someone with legal authority to take the investigation seriously. Another option for backing off is he has met this goal.
There really is only one person that can prove that Rich was the leaker of the info - Assange. If he were to prove it, the whole Russia conspiracy thing and the reasons for the unmasking - go down the drain. It will destroy the Dems. They can't allow that to happen. They will go to any means to stop it. I think Assange had better start to rethink his non disclosure policy in this case. After all, the leaker is dead so no harm will come to him. The only harm now is to Assange. He is the loose thread. Right now he has the protection of the Ecuadoran embassy. The reason he got the protection was the fake charges against him for rape in Sweden. Sweden has now dropped the case. The only thing keeping him in the embassy is an arrest warrant the British have on him for not obeying a court order. If the British drop that, the embassy has no more reason to offer protection. They may say to him - goodbye. Now he has no protection and is out in public - a target. The only way to make himself less of a target is to release all the info now. Once it is out there, with a videotaped deposition - there would be no need to knock him off. It wouldn't accomplish anything.
