    Well, someone is bull****ting here. It's just not clear which party.

    When I was musing about whether to believe McClatchy's reporter or Michael Cohen, the answer seemed fairly clear. Michael Cohen or Sean Hannity, though? Yeesh.

    My wild guess is that there's something now in the possession of the SDNY which one or both parties (or one party's more high-profile client) doesn't want disclosed. It just doesn't seem worth dragging another major (and nominally allied) public figure into the fray with no discernible upside.

    One thing that I would think is obvious is that Cohen is not Sean Hannity's lawyer in any meaningful sense. Dude can afford anyone in the world, so there's no reason for him to have a shady hack who barely practiced law doing anything on his behalf...anything above-board, anyway.

    The takeaway is Michael Cohen does pro-bono work for millionaire a**holes.

    Looking forward to learning what he did for Hannity.

    hawk, it's on the record a few times that you don't give a **** about anything that helped bring this regime into place

    it's weird imo

    Sean Hannity is asking for privacy yall

    He wasn't thinking of privacy when he:

    1) Attacked Sasha & Malia for Spring Break trip

    2) Attacked Michelle Obama over her appearance

    3) Helped trump spread a racist birther lie

    4) Spread a vicious lie about Seth Rich & DNC

    Considering that Hannity apparently contacted Cohen over the weekend to ask that their relationship be kept confidential, it's sorta hard to credit his assertion that no such relationship existed. The industry standard leans pretty hard on making that distinction clear-cut. Like, if you've sought advice from a lawyer and think you're a client and haven't been told otherwise, you're probably a client.

    The other thing that's noteworthy is that Cohen's attorneys disclosed the relationship in court, whereas Hannity disclaimed it on TV.

    What are you going to do with all of these 'notes' that you take?

    Let's talk about how Sean Hannity and Mike Cohen's relationship helped "bring this regime into place".

    Let's go down that very narrow path. Can you handle it?

    Let's pretend that it doesn't require huge leaps of logic and ignorance of reality (then again, you made the claim that Obama didn't have a supermajority - and ran away once you were proven wrong - so I don't know that reality is a place you subscribe to).

    Then let's do the same thing about Trump's tweets on Syria.

    Let's do these things just so we can prolong the charade that our news consumption doesn't entirely consist of our Facebook feed.
    Let's do these things just so we can pretend that our interest in current events isn't centric upon one thing.

    None of this looks good for Hannity. Either the judge finds that Cohen is not his lawyer and Hannity wasn't a client, in which case he has no attorney-client privileges, or the judge finds that Cohen was one of his lawyers which opens up a bunch of ethical concerns (that a lot of his viewers probably won't care about, but still).

    I also don't understand why Hannity didn't pay him since Hannity has tons of money, and Cohen doesn't actually have that much. Cohen probably could have used the money for his advice.

    I only know about medical relationships so I can't comment much on whether Cohen is Hannity's "lawyer". I would guess yes.

    Technically, you aren’t officially someone’s attorney until you are recorded as representation in a filing/proceeding. If Cohen ever did actual case work (not consultation) for Hannity this information would be easily attainable. It’s the nature of legal consulting that’s the question here. Even if Cohen drafted a NDA agreement for Hannity, because it was never executed in a court of law, there’s room for this ambiguity and denial.
