General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: So let me get this straight re: Hannity/Cohen [View all]TheRealNorth
(9,475 posts)If I had to venture a guess, Hannity and Cohen were probably coordinating messaging. My guess is that Cohen thought that if he said Hannity was a client, then their discussions would fall under attorney-client privilege.
I doubt anything will come of this unless there is also evidence that Hannity or Fox news knows of legal wrongdoing and are actively collaborating to sow disinformation. Even then, I don't know if running a disinformation campaign would be enough to convict Hannity of anything.
However, I do believe that Trump and Rupert "struck a deal" in July-August 2015 (around the time Trump made those disparaging remarks about Megan Kelly). If Mueller uncovered any sort of deal/payment for favorable coverage on Fox during the primaries, then things could get interesting.
