    Have you not followed the story or is your question a rhetorical jab at either Cohen's clumsiness or the judge's approach?

    We all know he’s whining it’s not fair that the mean old judge made them say poor innocent Hannity’s name.

    Well yeah, but:
    1. He shouldn't be so passive aggressive, and
    2. We may as well make him squirm like his slimy heroes, LOL.

    That's a boss move attaching privilege like in Breaking Bad with Saul getting kidnapped by Jesse and Walt . I guess Hannity must have figured that 10 dollars attached privilege 10x as much as the $1 on the show.

    When House of Cards returns with a First Lady who murders the President to take his place it's going to seem so blah compared to our real life presidential drama.

    I’ve been trying to think of who will play Cohen when this gets made into a Coen Brothers movie one day. John Turturro maybe?

    There will be several movies made about this administration in the not too distant future.

    So, there are so many questions once we finish with the first wave of jokes. I just can't figure out this Hannity business.

    Right?

    Here's what we know:
    -Cohen's team made an argument that Client 3 was asserting his privilege and had asked him to take any steps he could to protect his identity
    -Motion fails and team is forced to name Hannity as Client 3
    -Hannity denies being a client, ever paying Cohen, ever asserting attorney client privilege or having any stake in court motion. Says he only ever talked to Cohen to get his perspective as a friend.
    -Hannity claims these conversations about legal perspective never involved any potential 3rd parties. What kid of legal advice do you need that just concerns yourself? Other than asking "Is what I'm doing here breaking the law..." Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
    -Hannity clarifies that he may have paid Michael Cohen $10 to make sure there was attorney client privilege attached to these conversations and now says he definitely believed he had privilege

    What's going on here?

    Remember, important fact, the Mystery Client #3 thing wasn't some minor detail, it was the whole basis for the argument that Cohen's team was making. They needed all materials returned to protect the privilege of this client.

    Some possibilities
    -Hannity is telling the truth for the most part and was blindsided when his name came up. Cohen's team just threw a hail mary without letting Hannity know and were desperate to conceal documents.
    -Hannity is telling the truth for the most part except he was in on the gig, agreeing to Cohen using him to try to protect the president
    -Hannity is a liar and he is a client of Michael Cohen's and wanted to make sure his information was protected
    -Hannity is a liar and he is a client of Michael Cohen's but he didn't ask Cohen to assert his privilege
