Sean Hannity laughably claimed to be “totally transparent” as he put forth a completely incoherent “explanation” of his relationship with former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
Hannity was clearly unhappy with the breaking news about the release of the Cohen tape Tuesday night. In it, Cohen is heard discussing with Donald Trump hush money to Playboy model Karen McDougal, in contradiction of current-lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s claim that it would prove “exculpatory.”
“I don’t see any there there, it seems like a dud and I don’t know what these other 11 tapes are about,” Hannity groused.
As I’ve previously written, it seems clear to me that Hannity had a relationship with Cohen that will prove very embarrassing, at the least, once the details are known. The fact that there are 11 more tapes, some of which are said to include conversations between Cohen and “members of the media” seems, I have theorized, terrifying to Hannity.
To put it bluntly, Hannity also seemed drunk on the air. Whatever the reason, Hannity’s statement about his relationship with Cohen only served to raise more questions:
HANNITY: I was not a client of his, although, I did ask him a legal question on -- we used to talk, privately, and I - so -- but we didn't have a business relationship, and -- just to be totally transparent.
Instead of legal analysts, Hannity hosted NRATV host Dan Bongino and Sebastian Gorka. Bongino proved how inadequate to the task he was by ignorantly opining that Cohen might have committed a crime. If Trump had been in Florida, Bongino announced, it would have been illegal to record Trump without permission because Florida is a “two-party consent state.”
As Bad Fox Graphics noted, the conversation was obviously recorded in person, in Cohen’s New York office.
Gorka, the thuggish, Nazi Party-linked fugitive, attacked CNN on equally ignorant grounds. “Instead of actually being a news organization,” Gorka accused, CNN had focused on the tape instead of Trump’s supposedly glorious poll numbers. Gorka cited a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll that, he claimed, found Trump with the “highest approval rating in his 18th month than any president since polling began except [George W. Bush].”
Gorka really needs to do a better job of fact checking, especially before he lectures other news organizations about their standards. The Wall Street Journal clearly states, in large type right under the headline, Trump’s job approval “remains among the lowest of any modern president at this point his first term.”
Predictably, Hannity did not correct Gorka’s misinformation. “They’re making a mockery of themselves,” Gorka continued, with rich irony and his trademark sneer.
Watch it below, from the July 24, 2018 Hannity, and tell me: doesn’t Hannity look and sound drunk? Especially when he says, “I think if he cured cancer, Dan, they’d still hate him,” near the end. Video via Media Matters.

Here’s a secret. Pie brings his vapes with him when he travels. A tall bottle of booze is common in his high-end hotel suite, complete with a view of the city, ocean, or lake, depending on his location. Pssst! The Foxies, aka, 21st Century Foxies, receive corporate discounts on hotels, vehicles, and other travel expenses through a company that caters to corporations.
Don’t tell Pie, but the Cohen tapes are not the only damaging information out there. There is another gem coming his way, and this golden egg could ruin his broadcasting career. We prefer to see him behind bars. It’s long overdue for this seven-headed Beast from the abyss.
NOTE TO HANNITY
Guess who’s been talking to Mueller? Here’s a hint….Nah. You will find out soon enough. We feel bad for Merri Jill when her friends, foundations, and other Long Island nonprofit organizations distance themselves from the both of you. Sad!
CNN releases an embarrassing tape pretty much proving Trump lied about an affair and this is what Fox News calls analysis? Most obviously Hannity doesn’t play the tape or discuss its contents.
You know the lies are coming fast and furious when Dan Bongino diverts the conversation to Trump being “fiercely loyal to his people”. His nose grew about 5 feet after mouthing that whopper! Trump is about as loyal as a feral cat.
Since Hannity didn’t play the tape – which obviously takes place in an office or conference room and is not a phone conversation – his audience probably won’t have a clue how moronic Bongino’s analysis is regarding taping the conversation is potentially illegal if The Donald happened to be at Mara Largo in Florida.
Trump sycophant Sebastian Gorka realizes discussing the embarrassing tape is a lost cause so he starts out attacking the messenger, CNN. Fellow moron Dan Bongino takes the hint and changes the topic to GDP growth. Because we all know as long as the economy is humming along anything our Scumbag-in-Chief does is just fine and dandy.
To watch this trio of clowns dodge the content of the tapes makes me realize how nervous they are about it. It’s like all three are in shock.
Fox News consistently is home to the worst news analysis in the business. And this example has to be a new low in their crap analysis.
If Mickey the Rat was not KKKlannity’s attorney (as KKKlannity now says), then there is no attorney-client privilege. KKKlannity of course wants it both ways. He’s not Mickey the Rat’s client, but the attorney-client privilege still applies.
The audio tapes will eventually be released or leaked. It will be fun to watch KKKlannity squirm then.
