From Newsweek: All the times Sean Hannity defended Michael Cohen.
"Cohen was never part of the Trump administration or the Trump campaign," Hannity said just hours after the FBI raided Cohen's office and residence. "This is now officially an all hands on deck effort to totally malign and, if possible, impeach the president of the United States. Mueller and Rosenstein have declared what is a legal war on the president. And a source close to President Trump tonight is telling Fox News that Mueller's investigation is way out of control." [...]
"Does anyone actually believe that a porn star and a former Playboy playmate that they're going to shed any light on potential collusion with Russia? The answer is of course not," Hannity said Tuesday in a segment that began with him describing the Mueller investigation as a "never-ending partisan witch hunt." [...]
Hannity did not let up Wednesday. "Living up to its anti-Trump reputation, the liberal mainstream media they've have gone totally off the rails over the FBI's highly questionable raid on Michael Cohen," Hannity said. [...]
Hannity also had former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich on his program comparing the Cohen raids to the Nazi’s Gestapo police.
Today Sean Hannity was revealed as a "client" of lawyer Michael Cohen, a relationship he did not disclose when publicly condemning the raid to his radio audience. According to Hannity, Cohen "never represented me in any manner" and he never "retained him" or "paid legal fees", but spoke to him about "real estate."
How this squares with demanding attorney-client privilege for the relationship remains, at this hour, confusing. Whether this will affect Sean Hannity’s reputation as a “pundit”, or whatever he fashions himself to be, depends on whether he has any to begin with.
