Hannity has said that he hates investing in the stock market, and instead buys real estate. But no one had reported the scale of investments by the host, who makes about $30 million a year. Hannity’s shell companies have spent at least $90 million buying up at least 870 homes spread over seven states, the Guardian reported. Among the holdings are mansions and apartment buildings rented to low-income families. Troublingly given how Hannity talked about the raid on Cohen’s office and homes without disclosing that he was a client, Hannity also has dealings journalist would normally disclose. He bashed Obama about the foreclosure rate but bought up homes during the crisis, the report says, and he made deals involving the US Department for Housing and Urban Development which he did not disclose when interviewing and praising Ben Carson, who Trump appointed to lead the department.https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/sean-hannity-vast-real-estate-holdings-hidden-shell-companies-including-deals-funded-hud-report/

Is that necessary, or can you sort of slip that area down into Egypt?"

But the fundamental thing is that he has spent countless hours on his radio & TV shows giving his opinions on the Mueller investigation , on the Cohen arrest , on Ben Carson and HUD etc without ever mentioning any possible conflict of Interest.. How many times has Hannity attacked Hillary Clinton and other Democrats on potential quid pro quo activities?? But when it's him that's being asked those questions he gets all defensive and argues that he has a right to privacy etc. It's that hypocrisy that has people activated at present..

And I think that is a real stretch comparing making simple investments that he has nothing to do with other than giving them money, to what Hillary did with the Clinton Foundation… A real stretch! And where would a conflict of interest be involving Mueller or Cohen? Do you think he invested in some Russian condos?

Leroy42 wrote: » notobtuse, I would have thought that at this stage you would know that the very least you should do is to wait. Anyone that ever comes out early to defend Trump or anything to do with him invariably ends up looking foolish as the real truth comes out. It follows a similar pattern. Journo: You guys were up to X Trump/supporters: No way, fake news, your a HC supporter Journo2: We have some documents to prove that Trump/supporters: Yeah well, at least we love America and last year you printed something that was wrong so .....ObamaClinton! So Hannity comes out with the following:"It is ironic that I am being attacked for investing my personal money in communities that badly needed such investment" So which is it. HE didn't know or he wants the credit? Because the line you went off is that this is little more than an investment fund, third party. It could be in real estate, or pornography, or abortion clinics. So which one of you going to go with?

And where would a conflict of interest be involving Mueller or Cohen? Do you think he invested in some Russian condos? Well , the Cohen connection is fairly clear I'd have thought , he spoke at length about how the raid on Cohen was an assault on Attorney Client privilege , on the rule of law etc. etc. without ever telling anyone that he himself was someone potentially at risk from that very same Attorney client privilege.. In terms of the comparison with Clinton et al - I don't see that it's a stretch , it's perhaps a different scale if the allegations are true , but the acts are comparable.. The accusations against Clinton is that she provided Political favours in return for investment in the Clinton foundation.. The potential accusation for Hannity is that in return for his Bombastic and unflinching support on the highest rated News channel and show in the US he got favourable treatment from HUD and/or from Cohen/Trump.. They are both accusations of inappropriate Quid pro quo or conflict of interest. Hannity claims to not know the nature of the specific investments that his money is used for.. Maybe that's true , or maybe it's not - Perhaps it's like Trumps supposed "Blind Trust" for the Trump Organisation... For now all we know is that Hannity stands accused of the very things that he has railed against so vehemently on his shows for years.. For now like those against Clinton, they are just allegations , but the hypocrisy remains regardless of that.

If Hannity didn't know what or where his money was being invested why did he need to get advice from Cohen about real estate investments?
