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 is not elected to nothing. He never paid for attorney advice and has no guilt in this phony scandal.

First we have an illegal, and unconstitutional search by a corrupt FBI. Then a crooked deep state judge forces the disclosure of confidential attorney client information on an unrelated client. Then we have a corrupt democrat calling for the client to be fired without any evidence of a crime. Now tell me whats wrong with America?

On this thread, you are shouting your ignorance and childish impatience to some of the best-informed folks on FR -- who all know that you are FOS.

What do you call ~25K indictments that are now being unsealed and acted upon?

Then come back here and repeat your asinine statement for our amusement -- or sneak away like a good little troll.

Apparently it is now illegal (according to Democrat/Progressive Shadow Law) for a conservative to converse with a lawyer.

If Hannity isn’t fired he will at least have to cease having Alan Dershowitz, Gregg Jarret and Joe DeGenova on his show as guests.

Snakes bite. Scorpions sting. Democrats call for everyone they hate to be fired. It's what they do. It's nature's way.

Sue his ass off Sean! This prick defamed your reputation and is attempting to cause you financial loss based on politics

If he wasn’t in the H.O.R. giving a speech he isn’t immune from libel or slander

Unbelievable. Hannity can choose whoever he wants as counsel. There is nothing wrong if Cohen was Hannity’s attorney, paid or unpaid. Connolly can go pound sand.

NO JOKE

The U.S. District judge who ordered Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen to identify Sean Hannity had officiated billionaire George Soros’ wedding in 2013.

Thanks mandaladon. His lawyer's office should be raided and the client list published, see how that works out. That should be done to each and every elected official of the Demagogic Party, as a matter of fact.

The only way you stop fascist Democrats is by openly opposing them and destroying them at the ballot box.

We did great while Obama was in office, turning over 1000 political offices from Democrat to Republican.

But, the Democrats use the courts to further their agenda. Democrats do not care about the will of the voters, as evidenced by their rigging elections, cheating and money laundering.

Democrats ran to the courts in Pennsylvania as soon as they had a majority to overturn the congressional districts that were drawn by the Republican majority and approved with 36 Democratic votes. It was bipartisan, but overturned by a Democrat court after 8 years.

If we do not stand, they will slowly destroy us, denigrate us and make us unwanted. Before we know it, we will be a minority fighting to survive like Jews in Germany.

“Too many FReepers need to wake up and realize that we are at war and slated for extermination if the left ever gets power”

I honestly agree with you.

This is not about a disagreement over policy. These are violent totalitarians who think the concentration camps of Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin were entirely justified. Ayers and Hayden once talked of “liquidating” millions once they had seized power.
