Go and plan your next attack on American service people you enemy of America.

Yeah, the NYT is definitely "inside information".... you chump.

Trump and Cohen's attorneys went to court Friday to try and block officials from accessing information that they claimed was protected by attorney-client privilege, The New York Times reports. Trump reportedly phoned Cohen to "check in," the Times reports. It's not clear what the president discussed with Cohen when he phoned him, sources told the Times, but defense lawyers typically advise clients not to talk to one another when an investigation is ongoing.

Is that a Hillary quote?

do you have 45 seconds to watch alex jones cry over donald trump?

of course you do.

enjoy!

^ Soooo ... how is "A Higher Loyalty" being reviewed?

NYT = James Comey Has a Story to Tell. It’s Very Persuasive. Here

Washington Post = In his new book, James Comey calls for ‘ethical leadership.’ But does he live up to it? Here

Fox News Insider = Dershowitz Blasts 'Shameful' Comey for 'Gossipy Revenge' Book Here

... no real surprises there.

OH ... the best for last!

What does Sarah 'Huckabee' Sanders say

Comey is a drama queen, I don't think he is clean, he is overzealous and that usually means something, he has certain opinions and views on things

the Hillary investigation was obviously driven by personal motives,

and so was Trump investigation,

that guy wants to portray himself as a King Maker, or a King Destroyer

basically another deep state power frustrated loon,

Which orange topped chicken has the higher IQ?

I give you Jokgu

Please be up standing.

Here is the Comey interview from tonight on ABC. I am not sure if it will work over there and you may have to use a VPN.

Watch James Comey's first interview since President Trump fired him - ABC News

Tomorrow should be interesting as Micheal Cohen has a court appearance to make.

^ he's been ordered to name all of his clients in open court.

Comey needs to be investigated for election meddling...somethin snaky about him.

^ IMO his explanation for his actions in the fall of 2016 are believable....but sure, why not....let's get to the bottom of it.

i find him to be flawed, but credible.

what he did at ashcroft's hospital bedside goes a long way with me.

Stormy Daniels plans to be in attendance as well. Should be fun day tomorrow.

he is a fucking whackjob and this interview is going to expose all that, and make the whole Mueller investigation a bias political witchhunt, Comey is bitter and mad

if they really wanted to nail Trump, they would have done it by now

I think the investigation is just the chains they need to keep him under control, it will last until the last day of his presidency, which could be 8 years in total

Maybe Comey's just incompetent. The way he carried out the HRC email case was a mess. No way he could not know his amnouncement just before the election was going to cost her votes.

Him saying he was assuming she was going to win doesn't sound very professional either especially when he's partly responsible for some of her lost votes.

he's just trolling.

no I am not,

watch this space, and let's see where Comey is in a few months

and how Trump escaped it all

A lawyer for Michael D. Cohen said in court on Monday that one of Mr. Cohen’s clients was Sean Hannity, the Fox News personality and an ardent defender of President Trump.

Lawyers for Mr. Cohen, the president’s longtime personal lawyer and fixer, had sought to keep the identity of one of Mr. Cohen’s clients a secret in a court challenge of an F.B.I. search of Mr. Cohen’s office.

But after several minutes of back and forth between the government and Mr. Cohen’s lawyers, Kimba M. Wood, a judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, ordered that Mr. Cohen’s lawyer, Stephen Ryan, disclose in open court the name of a client in question, who turned out to be Mr. Hannity.

Before Mr. Hannity’s name was revealed in the courtroom, Mr. Ryan had argued that the mysterious client was a “prominent person” who wanted to keep his identity a secret because he would be “embarrassed” to be identified as a client of Mr. Cohen’s.

Robert D. Balin, a lawyer for various media outlets, including The New York Times, CNN and others, interrupted the proceedings to argue that embarrassment was not a sufficient legal argument to keep a client’s name secret, and Judge Wood agreed.

After Mr. Hannity was named, there were audible gasps in the courtroom.

On the Fox News Channel, the anchor Shepard Smith reported that his colleague’s name had been mentioned as a third client of Mr. Cohen’s in open court. He did so after other news outlets had broken the story, saying that it was time for him to address “the elephant in the room.”

“Hannity’s producers are working to contact him,” Mr. Smith said. “Since it’s now a part of the story, we’ll report on it when we know the rest of it. A lot of people here know his number, so we’ll get on that in just a second.”

At roughly the same time, Mr. Hannity was hosting his nationally syndicated radio show. He said it was strange to see his name appearing on the Fox News Channel and wondered aloud if he should release a statement.

Just before 4 p.m., he posted a message on Twitter: “Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.”

In a follow-up tweet, Mr. Hannity added, “I assumed those conversations were confidential, but to be absolutely clear they never involved any matter between me and a third-party.”

After offering those initial statements on Mr. Cohen, Mr. Hannity returned to Twitter late Monday afternoon to provide more detail, saying that his “de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen” had been “almost exclusively about real estate.”

Mr. Cohen is under criminal investigation by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan. The F.B.I. raided Mr. Cohen’s office, home and hotel room on April 9, seizing business records, emails and documents related to several topics.

Without disclosing his relationship with Mr. Cohen, Mr. Hannity was fiercely critical of the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and the F.B.I. during the April 9 broadcast of “Hannity” on Fox News.

During the show, Mr. Hannity described the F.B.I. raid, adding, “Now, what that means is Mueller’s witch-hunt investigation is now a runaway train that is clearly careening off the tracks.”

“We have now entered a dangerous phase and there is no turning back from this,” he continued.

“We will always be fair and balanced,” Mr. Hannity said as he closed his segment. “We hope you’ll always join us.”

The Fox News host has long been one of Mr. Trump’s most zealous supporters. Before a nightly audience of more than three million viewers, the biggest in cable news, Mr. Hannity has regularly defended the president and excoriated his critics.

His close relationship with Mr. Trump goes back to the fraught final days of the 2016 presidential campaign. After The Washington Post published the so-called “Access Hollywood” tape, during which Mr. Trump was captured on a hot microphone boasting in vulgar terms of “grabbing” women, Mr. Hannity continued to support the candidate at a time when many other conservative commentators had turned against him.

Last summer, Mr. Hannity dined with Mr. Trump at the White House. As recently as last month, he was a guest of the president’s at his Florida retreat, Mar-a-Lago.

In a legal filing before the proceeding on Monday, Mr. Cohen revealed that he had worked as a lawyer since 2017 for 10 clients, seven of whom he served by providing “strategic advice and business consulting.” Of the other three, two were President Trump and the Republican fund-raiser Elliott Broidy, the filing said. The third person remained unnamed — at least until Judge Wood forced Mr. Cohen’s lawyers to identify him as Mr. Hannity before a packed courtroom.

Last week, it came to light that Mr. Cohen had arranged for Mr. Broidy to pay $1.6 million to a former Playboy model, Shera Bechard, who became pregnant during an affair with Mr. Broidy. The payment, to be made in installments over two years, was intended to keep her silent about their relationship. After the confidential deal became public on Friday, Mr. Broidy resigned from his post as deputy finance chairman of the Republican Party and offered a public apology to his wife and family.

The contract in the confidential settlement between Mr. Broidy and Ms. Bechard included the same aliases — “David Dennison” and “Peggy Peterson” — that were used in a 2016 contract between Mr. Trump and Stephanie Clifford, the pornographic actress known as Stormy Daniels, according to a person familiar with the deal.

^ Wonder what the heck this is all about? Hannity and Manafort were buddies at one point. Maybe connection there?

Hannity denies being a client. Nothing illegal about retaining a lawyer...must be hiding something

Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.


I assumed those conversations were confidential, but to be absolutely clear they never involved any matter between me and a third-party.

In response to some wild speculation, let me make clear that I did not ask Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalf, I have no personal interest in this proceeding, and, in fact, asked that my de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen, which dealt almost exclusively about real estate, not be made a part of this proceeding.
