First of all let me be totally honest. The biggest reason I find Sean Hannity a despicable human being is because he is a liar, and a traitor to the American people. For 20 years he has intentionally divided our nation by supporting the right wing, even when they commit crimes against our nation’s people. But it’s also personal.

Years ago Hannity was here in Reno, and my job forced me to interact with the little man. He ranked in the top five of men who I found extremely arrogant, demeaning, and sub-human while expecting exceptional service from the men and women who were attending to him. Hannity is a ‘nobody.’ He has no importance in this world and for him to treat hard-working men and women in a dismissive manner is unforgivable.

That said, I am very pleased that it appears Hannity is under investigation by the FBI. It was revealed that Hannity is one of only three clients of Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen. Hannity is a multi-millionaire, and Cohen’s expertise is minimal. He is known as a ‘fixer,’ not a highly rated attorney; why would Hannity choose him?

When Hannity protested the revelation, we must ask ‘why.’ If nothing illegal or immoral is involved in his association with Cohen, why would he demand secrecy?

Hannity claims that he ‘may have given Cohen ten bucks’ to create an ‘attorney-client’ relationship, but he did not employ Cohen as his personal attorney. However, in a court of law Cohen’s own attorney named Hannity as a client. Another lie from a professional prevaricator.

Either Hannity is a client of Cohen’s or if he is not, he cannot demand secrecy based an attorney-client privilege.

Hannity has constantly berated Robert Mueller and when Cohen became a person of interest he defended Trump’s attorney vehemently. If he has nothing to hide, why did Hannity refuse to admit that Cohen is his attorney?

Hannity is indicating that any counsel Cohen offered him was ‘pro bono;’ why? Hannity is a very rich right wing extremist.

None of this makes any sense. The bottom line is that Hannity is doing what he does best; lie.

A final question; why does the FCC continue to license FOX Noise? It is not a legitimate news network, it is nothing more than a propaganda machine for those on the right. Time for FOX to become a bad memory and nothing more.
