Watergate Prosecutor on MSNBC: Why Did Hannity Retain Cohen “If Nothing Wrong?”

Desperate Deep State to get anything to stick.

Nazi America is something else. First it was, “if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t mind if we sweep up all of your private communications”. Then it was that idiot Gowdy with “if you are innocent, do not make any moves to stop the special investigator”.
Now it’s moved on to hiring a lawyer is proof of wrongdoing.

As someone here yesterday said, Yes, they really do want us dead in a ditch. History is the proof.

[redgolum]

An interesting precedent.

As Pee-ers Morgan said, they are in a panic!

Their whole gig is going up in smoke (Did Cheech Marin write their script ????)

How desperate they are. BTW, Sean has often talked to lawyers on his show does that mean he is their client? (Rhetorical question for MSNBC)

Hannity didn’t even retain Cohen. Fake News.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

You’re right. I should have said that Sean occasionally consulted Cohen, not retained him.

But in any case, any reasonably knowledgeable citizen, let alone a Watergate prosecutor, should know that hiring a lawyer is proof of absolutely nothing!

Talking about his martial arts training too much.

For advise on a real estate deal. Trump made billions in real estate and Choen was his guy. But just ignore the facts to push a failed politcal agenda you complete clowns.

[plain talk]

““The person who really ought to be investigated is Sean Hannity!”

Investigated for what? Retaining a lawyer?

[chiller]

I don't understand MSNBC's rating, which sometimes challenge FOX in evening slots. This idiot Akerman, homophobe Joy Reid, Madcow....up and down the line....some real doozies.

They were outdone, though, today by Trump hater Rick Wilson on CNN who described Melania and her RBF "Resting Bitch Face". Trump Derangement Syndrome is reaching pandemic state. Fun to watch, however.

If you talk to a lawyer you’re guilty. You don’t even have to hire one.

What does that make lawyers?

[Rurudyne]

It’s the seriousness of the charges alone that proves conservatives or Republicans guilty!

There is little difference between the Left and th Turks recently just inventing accusations as a pretext ... it’s all about the purge.

[Sooth2222]

I use the same logic when I'm to appear for jury duty.

"If he isn't guilty of the crime, then why would he be on trial?"

For some reason, I never get picked for juries.

“Breaking”, “New”, “Russia”, “Mueller”, “Trump” have been on CNN and MSNBC screens every single day since the inception of the Witch Hunt. “Stormy” ran its course and now it’s all Hannity. The media is pure scum along with most of the government.

"If you talk to a lawyer you’re guilty. You don’t even have to hire one. What does that make lawyers?"

All lawyers are Mafia consiglieres.

[outofsalt]

"Why did he even offer himself up as a client if there was nothing wrong?”"

Stupid Question!

[Sasparilla]

...Akerman’s assertion stands on its head the most fundamental notions of justice. Everyone is entitled to legal representation... Hannity has said that he largely consulted Cohen on real estate matters..

IIRC Hannity also said he consulted an attorney when he was libeled/slandered by a “famous” lunatic liberal.

Liberals have gone dangerously psychotic.

[Sarah Barracuda]

He did NOT retain him Commie jackass..he TALKED to him regarding a real estate deal..gee how come MSNBC has lawyers, maybe they did something wrong..I swear, these commie idiots make me sick, literally SICK

[HombreSecreto]

So he’s saying Comey is guilty...
