As is my wont, I dialed in to Sean Hannity’s radio show during drive time for a peek into the boiler room operation located in the heart of the right wing fever swamp. Much to my surprise, his guest was Jay Sekulow, the man Trump picked as his lawyer because, as Digby says, he liked what he saw watching him on FOX. And besides, who better to represent the Donald than another guy who understands the value of family in business?
But I digress. I can normally only tolerate a minute or two of Hannity, but it was fascinating to hear the legal counsel for the President* of the United States working a talk show hosted by seller of cheap nostrums and famous conserative blatherskite Sean Hannity.
I tuned in part way through Sekulow’s visit to Hannity, but I gather the gist of their thesis is that we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis — but perhaps not the one you might be thinking of.
What we have is an attempt to overthrow a legitimate president by the Deep State, Democrats, and the Media (the media that was all rooting for Hillary throughout the election.)
Both Sean and Jay were bumfuzzled by all of the illegal things Crooked Hillary and Obama did that they’ve never faced any charges over. The whole unmasking scandal (Susan Rice!!! — and now they’re covering it up!!!) Why did Obama suddenly make changes to classified information handling shortly before leaving office, if not to set up the leaking. Oh so much leaking!!!
And that James Comey! Sekulow said there should be a Grand Jury looking into Comey leaking that memo. And of course the media jumped all over it once he handed it off to them. Sure we have a special counsel now, but the way Comey did it, well it’s troubling.
The Deep State is really out to get Trump. It’s the Fourth Branch of government, and it goes back, way back. Some of those people have been bureaucrats for 40 years!!!
Hannity was very careful to say that the Intelligence community is really important, and he respects them. We really REALLY need them in a world where we have so many enemies. But…
Obama and Hillary weaponized them. They’re using them to try to get rid of Trump. The media is in on it too. Sekulow agreed.
So, all this stuff you’re hearing about Trump is fake news being spread in a conspiracy by Democrats, the Deep State and the Media to overthrow Trump. It’s all about the Constitution.
Now you know.
Are there any more sharks to be jumped? Stay tuned. Sekulow said something about being on Sean’s TV show tomorrow night. I bet the Kremlin is running low on vodka and popcorn at this point.
