A first-year law student making this argument would have gotten a big, blazing “F” . . .
On Ari Melber’s MSNBC show this evening, a former Watergate prosecutor—demanding that Sean Hannity be investigated—actually suggested that Hannity’s occasional use of the services of attorney Michael Cohen is evidence of wrongdoing.
Said Nick Akerman:
“The person who really ought to be investigated is Sean Hannity! He’s the person whose name was brought up on the Cohen search warrant as a client. Why did he even offer himself up as a client if there was nothing wrong?”

So consulting a lawyer means you have done something wrong? The left is trying to overthrow our President, and ruin every high profile conservative they possibly can- obviously Hannity has a large target painted on him. Not to mention the left already tried to attack him over false claims concerning women. I would be very surprised if he had not consulted an attorney. I would be surprised if he has not consulted with many attorneys over the years for many reasons, he is a successful, high profile man.
The left is fighting for power, money, and votes. Anyone that stands in their way should expect to be attacked. The left does not care about this country or we the people, it is obvious they are the enemy.
Will someone please tell they ash hole Hannity has not said he “retained” Cohen. Hannity said he asked Cohen for legal advice a few times and never paid him.
If taking advice from a lawyer about real estate ventures is a sign of guilt, what is accepting gobs of money from the biggest lawyer union for one’s political campaign called?
And Hannity invested in Real Estate, and we all know that’s illegal. /s
Night of the Long Knives, only this time they’ll come to kill white men who aren’t Soy Boys, conservatives and Christians.
Hmmm, I’ve talked to a lawyer myself. That must mean I’m colluding with the Russians.
Guilty cuz he spoke to a lawyer? Sets back his own legal profession by a couple hundred years.
MSNBC. Like DU on TV.
Akerman seems to have an especially warped Lieyah mind, seen much of late in Prosecutors like Mueller.
Yup
Maybe an investigation is in order to see if he has any Whiskey Ring or Credit Mobilier money.
Akerman’s a joke who lies for a living. Last year he recycled documents from a book on Watergate published in 1984 and pretended he was giving NBC News an “exclusive”. He has recklessly claimed that Nixon had advance knowledge of the Watergate break-ins despite having no evidence to support this claim. He has no credibility whatsoever.
what BS
Hannity is a businessman with significant business matters pending, as is normal for anyone in his position, as well as personal legal questions of course
this is why MANY people have lawyers on retainer
or have lawyers in mind, at least, for any needed consultations or assistance
these sorts of smear-tactics are demeaning for the media to persist in wallowing in
I’m seeing articles on “always have a lawyer review the lease/deed/contract”. Hannity had real estate. That alone is enough to have a lawyer involved from “review my lease terms” to “double check the closing documents”.
Just because someone gets a law degree doesn’t mean they have common sense, are honest, are capable, or even a U S citizen.
Believe me, with a couple of the lawyers our family has used in the past, I’m surprised that they would know how to use toilet paper.
One prominent lawyers tried to bill my mother about $15,000 for some small legal work. When my uncle, her brother, found out about it, besides our firing the guy, spread the word around a major US city that this guy was a greedy bastard. One reputation shot down in flames. My uncle, a world-known cultural figure and doctor, didn’t let anyone cheat his family. He also defied the AMA on billing and told them that his patients were poor people and he would bill them what he felt they could pay. And he won.
Another lawyer forgot to change a line in my mother’s will and it cost my sister and myself $34,000 out of an annuity in taxes that should have been only about $10,000. He got lazy and we suffered. That money would have been used to pay for their college education if they wanted to go (one did later on).
I helped defeat a so-called “hotshot” attorney by calling his bluff on a federal case. He lost and I saved the taxpayers $25 MILLION which a bureaucrat was going to give him unchallenged.
Most lawyers are good, competent professionals, but enough are either incompetent, crooked, or lazy, or any combination thereof to give the profession a bad name.
The Watergate Commission had Akerman and Hillary Clinton, among others. Need I say more?
