I don’t think Trump could have done anything right in the eyes of the Left in this situation

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Sean Hannity, the secret third client of Michael Cohen? The best screenwriters can't do this well.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Sean Hannity is a prick. It is kind of funny that it's him I think she was referring to. I mean I agree, that is like a Hallmark Movie Mystery twist.

In court today, the Judge ordered Michael Cohen to name the client that had requested not to be named, saying it doesn't fall under attorney-client confidentiality, and he named Sean Hannity. Hannity has been blasting the FBI for raiding Cohen's office, etc., without ever mentioning that Cohen has represented him, causing quite the conflict of interests. Hannity has both denied this and confirmed it as "non-traditional" today (making it even worse), so he's very likely lying unless Cohen was ignorant enough to lie under oath.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Since Cohen "fixed" an affair with a porn star for Trump, and "fixed" an affair with a Playboy model for his other client (another high ranking Republican), the main question remains:
What did he "fix" for Hannity?
I mean, there's no evidence Cohen has ever seriously practiced law, is there? He's like Robert Duvall in the Godfather.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Fox News is more into their bias now than ever. To be fair, CNN is starting to bat more obviously for the Dems these days

We could also just believe that Cohen really was just more of a casual advisor only, without ever representing him in anything.

I mean, there's no evidence Cohen has ever seriously practiced law, is there? He's like Robert Duvall in the Godfather. Apparently he even considers himself Trump's "Tom Hagen." No joke. I have hated Hannity since at least 1998 when I first started to follow the news closely. Always such a hack but he is not a journalist. Just an unintelligent shill.

You shouldn't just go to one source for your news. It's almost like following movie critical reception. Sure, you can get a good gauge if you take a look at the whole picture, but I find watching reporters you trust can be more helpful. Shep Smith is pretty good, Jake Tapper is good, by dude Anderson Cooper, Ana Navarro is good. There are lots of good reporters. Also, I find most major newspapers (outside of their opinions pages) are aces. The NYT and Washington Post are great mostly.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
I was thinking what subtitle for the Obama Era would be? The Era of Political Deadlock? This is certainly the hindsight to his presidency. However, I made the subtitle for this thread at the beginning of Trump’s presidency. I remember the 2008 election. I think at the time I would have said The Era of Pseudo Change

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
I understand why Trump hired Giuliani -- he's easily one of his most loyal friends and supporters -- but he's going to make things so much worse by confusing stories, lying, and by having a general lack of communication skills. The man has claimed, and continues to claim to this day, that Hillary Clinton wasn't in New York City on 9/11 despite photo evidence of them together.
The move to hire him just feels incredibly desperate.

The whole thing stinks of rotten fish, but until anything comes to bare and real actions happened. I am not holding my breath
