I’ve been listening to these reports concerning Trump personal attorney \/ “fixer” Michael Cohen and his three clients, Trump, Mr. Broidy, an RNC deputy finance chair who’s just stepped down, and, most interestingly, Sean Hannity of Fox News<\/strong><\/em> with some puzzlement, and while most of the media world is off on a gallop over possible conflicts of interest, because Hannity was broadcasting on the subject of Cohen as he ‘s found himself in a pot of hot legal water, I’ve been wondering about the details of Hannity’s denials.<\/p>\n

These denials boil down to Hannity discussing minor matters with Cohen in passing. No payments, no formal relationship, no nuthin’. But but but … doesn’t the definition of a client include some sort of payment? The trading of one thing of value for another?<\/p>\n

Why is Hannity going to such great lengths to disavow a business connection, when Cohen appears to have acknowledged just such a relation?<\/p>\n

If Cohen is naming Hannity as a client in open court, why would he lie about it?<\/p>\n

Someone’s got their ass hanging out, but I can’t tell who. If the Feds (not Mueller, who’s not involved, despite Hannity screaming the Cohen raids means Mueller’s out of control and “off the rails”) have Cohen’s files, I suspect they know, or soon will know – unless that information is considered non-germane. The “taint team” apparently will take care of that.<\/p>\n

And if there is a formal business relationship, what then? I suppose it’ll depend on the nature of the business contracted.<\/p>\n

But I must say that it seems quite odd that Trump, Broidy, and Hannity, all big names, are all using the same “fixer,” someone who deals with unsavory details of the lives of the rich and powerful. Broidy has already admitted<\/a> to using Cohen to pay off a Playboy model he impregnated. Trump allegedly used Cohen to payoff Daniels. Hannity can see where this train is heading and wants to head it off.<\/p>\n

Could his career be on the line here? I’m not familiar with him, but I’ve noticed both journalists and comedians are licking their lips. Although, given the depths to which the Fox News<\/strong><\/em> audience appears to have sank, what could he have done that would turn them off?<\/p>\n

Voted for Hillary?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
