We’ll agree to disagree on the Hannity/Clinton comparison. Political favors from HUD or Trump??? I bet no one even knew Hannity’s name was associated with the group that bought the distressed properties. And there were probably several other high profile celebrity names associated with that group. Perhaps we should drag all their names through the mud.

This investigation has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime, IMO.

I think that Trump is just a reflexive liar , in that he just says whatever he thinks is most appropriate at that specific moment in time without any consideration for the truth. So it's actually hard to know if the lie was told explicitly to hide the truth or if the lie was told because that's just what came out of his mouth right then.... He lies so often about such utterly ridiculous and easily proved/disproved things that it's actually hard to discern if there's a plan behind it.

Leroy42 wrote: » So lets look at this. Trump is known to have used secret payments to avoid news of his extra marital affairs getting out. Trump lied to the director of the FBI on his whereabouts in an attempt to 'prove' that he wasn't in an hotel room undertaking in extra marital affairs with hookers. This cornerstone of his defence is now shown to be a lie. So what could we possibly take from it? Should we go with the view that there is nothing at all in the story and that the Steele Dossier is complete bogus... or should we take on board the evidence that Trump has no hang-ups about extra marital affairs, has no hang-ups about lying about them and has no hang-ups about using bribes and money to make the situation go away. No of this proves he did anything but as I mentioned before, every time we think we have got to the end of something more real evidence comes out that shows that Trump is a total liar. Why would anyone place any credibility on anything a proven liar has to say?
Leroy42 wrote: » My own view on the dossier is that history will show that the American people were given clear and credible evidence that they had a serious problem on their hands but due to team loyalties and looking to get one over the 'libtards' they refused to see the danger and actively participated in the weakening of their own country. Whether 100%, 50% or even 10% of the claims end up being true, the fact that so many were willing to simply dismiss it out of hand without any investigation will be something they will have to explain to later generations. History, IMO, will judge them very harshly.

This investigation has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime, IMO. Nothing, and nobody said it did. Even you stated that it wasn't the state looking for public knowledge of the 3rd client, that was the media calling for freedom of the press. What it does show is that nothing Hannity says in relation to Cohen or Trump can be seen as anything other than biased. From people that seem so concerned about fake news, it is staggering the lengths you are willing to go to avoid having to admit that one of the main cheerleaders for Trump is so compromised.

Well that's three disclaimers on your part for Sean - excluding this apparent insider information claim [And I understand the judge wasn’t going to demand to know Cohen’s clients, but was talked into it by CNN and The NY Times with hunt lawyers] - plus an attempt at misleading us [WTF? Isn’t this Mueller’s investigation?] which legally it isn't. In effect he's recused himself from the NY investigation. That last is pretty fair for an attempt at the truth. Sean Hannity has not denied the core of the story, that he has invested in properties previously used as their homesby people who had to move out after foreclosure by the banks, instead he has confirmed his ownership of such seized properties, even if he say's he did not know the exact details of his investments. Edit: re the actual news that SH has investments in property, is that info about SH's investments just info from a breaking news story or part of the ongoing NYC investigation? If it's NOT a discovery made by NYC investigators ot the other [Special Counsel] investigation, then are you making a mistake in putting the discovery down to them?
