Hannity: Department of Justice will target Republicans "until there's nothing left of the party"

[edhopper]

https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/sean-hannity-says-department-justice-will-target-republicans-until-theres-nothing-left

Mark my words: if they succeed with this persecution of Donald Trump, it's not going to be long before they start targeting other Republicans, future Republican presidential candidates until there's nothing left of the party.

As they tell people of color on "Stop and Frisk" and general harassment from Law Enforcement.
"If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. Cheer up: Hannity knows what's coming, he just can't understand the cause

A whole lot of them crimed their way into their predicament

[GoCubsGo]

24. I suspect he sees the writing on the wall for himself, too.

IIRC, his name seemed to pop up a lot regarding the Jan. 6 insurrection.

[LiberaBlueDem]

2. He's right

we are going to persecute and jail all the gawd damned republicans until they are all gone. We do not like politicians who are lying scum.

[Wednesdays]

26. The DOJ is not "persecuting" anyone

But if any have done serious crimes, then yeah, I'm all for PROSECUTING them.

[LiberaBlueDem]

38. Not DOJ persecuting

DOJ prosecutes. It's the BlueDems who will persecute the lying republican scum.

[jaxexpat]

73. Given the losses Fox News has had in the civil court arena......

one could see why they'd suspect themselves among the persecuted. Prosecution could lead to a persecution complex, I suppose. At some point it should be about the guilt or innocence of those being persecuted and that requires prosecution for determination.

I could see some justification if the Republican party were to sue Fox News for leading them down a primrose path with intent to bring them to this impasse with the court of public opinion.

[eShirl]

3. so many have done prosecutable things

no "get out of jail free" cards just because someone's a (R)

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. Does he not get "The Party" is really,

really, really dead already? Cold and stiff as the wicked witch herself. Just need a shovel now.

[TSExile]

40. Exactly

In the wise words of Coach Hayden Fox, "bury it with a shovel and then bury the shovel!"

[Aviation Pro]

5. Well, it's a teaching moment, dummy

Don’t do crime.

[onecaliberal]

6. So he's confirming all republicans are criminals.

We know.

[niyad]

7. And???

[LakeArenal]

15. Haha. Some just have to state the obvious.

[RKP5637]

8. The GOP/MAGA is doing a great job of self emulation! n/t

[Jerry2144]

9. And yet he accused the left of being soft on crime

We are tough on crime. And go after people who commit real crimes. Not fake ones such as “breathing while black”

So he admits that most Republiklan politicians are corrupt and criminal

[pandr32]

39. Excellent point.

They seem to forget what they've already said.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. If only it were that easy.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. Please continue.....

[MagickMuffin]

12. Lindsey Graham blames Donald j trump

He said so before the orange one was selected to lead their party. Lindsey knew!


It’s unfortunate that Lindsey changed his tune along the way. He should have continued to sound the alarm, however, he chose another alternative with the Alternate Reality party and he seems quite happy there. Maybe happy is the wrong phrase, I believe he is content with the new party.

[TSExile]

41. Hmmmm...

Maybe blissfully arrogant is the right term.

[calimary]

59. Lindsey is a human jellyfish.

No brains, no balls, no spine. Nothing that could even begin to suggest a backbone.

[gab13by13]

13. Give me one name of 1 Congressional Magat

Who has been indicted? It appears to me they have immunity. Waiting on the decision if the FBI can access Scott Perry’s phone.

[padah513]

22. Sure seems like it

Lindsey Graham got caught with his hands in this cookie jar too and nobody seems to be going after him.

[modrepub]

14. Give Him Credit

He's just acknowledging which political party he's working for.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Sorry, but there currently is 'nothing left of the party'.

[Maeve]

17. Too late. It's already a shell of a party

[LakeArenal]

18. Same group that doesn't want Democrats to be able to vote anywhere.

[republianmushroom]

19. The DoJ should, they are traitors to this country.

[agingdem]

20. "they" are not persecuting Trump..

"they" are prosecuting Trump for "persecuting" us...get it right, Sean!!

[KentuckyWoman]

21. Hannity admitting the GOP is a criminal enterprise.

OK then.

[Mr. Sparkle]

23. From his lips to Gods ears

[ananda]

25. ROFL: Quit placing yourselves in the crosshairs, dummies!

Geez

[Hortensis]

27. Now we're blamed for their destruction of their own party. Of course.

Judge Luttig, not given to hyperbole, believes they've already succeeded and are no longer an actual political party.

But whatever mess it's degenerated into, this entity still has genuine power, fueled by the anger of an extremist, culture-warring populist movement willing to burn the nation down to have its way.

Max Boot: "Unfortunately, ... we're going to have whatever the GOP is, which is largely this far-right populist construct. I wish that voters were rejecting it. But outside of the popular vote for presidential contests, they really aren’t rejecting it. It’s still a very viable political entity."

According to Michael Steele, who'd know, one thing holding this mess together is its baked--in monetary, and of course power, corruption.

"An important aspect that undergirds a lot of the infrastructure of this corruption—the grifting and the moneymaking component of it, drives a lot of the behavior of the leaders..."

With the party's purpose and function destroyed by ideological corruption, those still in office scrabble to keep money and power by feeding the beast. Including its codependents in lucrative corruption and betrayal at Fox.

[D_Master81]

28. They are very worried

MAGA idiots I know are very worried that if trump is convicted it will open up the floodgates of prosecution against the Republican Party first and then republican voters. It’s the old slippery slip theory I guess. Add in they think the 87,000 agents hired by the IRS are for auditing conservatives and it’s really sad what’s happened to these people.

[JHB]

29. Hey, don't do the crime if you can't do the time

[TNNurse]

30. Oh, Sean,

You and Fox and the Trumpers have already destroyed it.

Look in the mirror, watch your tapes, there is proof.

[NNadir]

31. As it should be for violent revolutionaries.

Respectable conservatives - it's close to but not entirely an oxymoron - will leave the violent thug racist party to which Hannity belongs and form a new party for constitutional opposition.

[Martin68]

32. Hannity got it wrong. The DOJ will target justice until there are no crooked Republicans left.

[Ford_Prefect]

33. Well they do say that the truth will set you free Sean.

[Ohioboy]

34. Hannity is partially right

To be completely right he needs to change it to: "republican criminals", or just "criminals".

[Wild blueberry]

35. Silly boy, there no party remaining

Death cult is defunct.

[LiberalFighter]

36. So Republicans in the DOJ are persecuting criminals in the GOP?

[MontanaMama]

37. For someone with such a large head

his brain is very small.

[rubbersole]

44. The helmet hair takes up all the room above his pencil neck.

[EarlG]

42. The Republican Party is little more than an organized crime operation these days

And if they didn't want that to happen, maybe the movers and shakers in the party should have stood up to the criminals who were trying to take the party over, back when they had a chance.

But nooo... anyone who tried that was considered a traitor, part of "the establishment," part of "the swamp" -- they were cast aside in favor of Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and an army of Proud Boy terrorists.

And you know who was a really big enabler of that process? Sean Hannity. Who is now amazed that all those criminals whom he helped to take over the GOP have all turned out to be criminals.

[William Seger]

48. "If you haven't done anything wrong..."

Hannity is right to be very worried.

[Botany]

81. Sean is worried that the close ties between Fox News and Russia will be exposed.

The former Mrs. Rupert Murdoch / Wendi Deng and Ivanka in late summer 2016 in Croatia. Croatia was
one of the place from which Russia launched cyber and disinformation attacks on America.



Rupert and Vlad.

FYI Earl .... Sean's former producer and Fox News Exec was @ a party in Moscow on election night 2016
to celebrate Trump's win.

[SpamWyzer]

43. What Insannity

says is that the entire party is so criminal, that the DOJ will be after them for a very long time and that is because the entire GQP has been trying to destroy American democracy and world peace for as long as I can remember. The party needs to be destroyed. Perhaps American conservatives will be able to form a party not based on greed, corruption, sedition, sex crimes, rolling back the clock on rights, attacking youth in crisis and drag queens who read stories to kids in libraries and restaurants and cafes. But I doubt it since tRump's poison and evil have infected his base and they won't be dead soon even though they are already being vastly diminished through their misplaced loyalty in Orangeface Loser.

[sarge43]

45. All the DoJ is doing is cleaning up the mess Republicans brought onto themselves.

Ya know, that mess I like to call Perp 45.

[czarjak]

46. Lunatic Fringe. We all know you're out there. We don't believe it. Not for one second.

Whose rich from spewing BULLSHIT though?

[Scottie Mom]

47. We can only hope! EOM

[spanone]

49. If only true.

fox needs to be shut down.

[judesedit]

50. Exactly. If the r's would stop committing crimes, they'd have nothing to worry about

Hannity's still a bought-and-paid-for asshole spewing garbage

[vlyons]

51. Works for me

Do the crime; do the time

[Martin Eden]

52. Sounds like Hannity is saying there is strong evidence of felonies

Committed by most Republicans.

[Augiedog]

53. Excellent

[keep_left]

54. Insannity's latest rhetoric may provoke yet another act...

...of stochastic terrorism from the Fox audience over their supposed "persecution". (Remember Bill O'Reilly and his 28-times-repeated phrase "Tiller the baby killer"?). Here's a nickel's worth of free advice: "they" wouldn't be coming for you if you weren't already breaking the law.

The solution to the Republicans' predicament is simple: stop criming, assholes!

[Mr. Ected]

55. Let me finish your sentence, Sean

Until there's another Republican in the White House, at which time these alleged abuses of the DOJ will become real and actual politically motivated attacks on Democrats.

[Initech]

56. There is nothing left of the GOP. It's been replaced with a deranged cult.

[calimary]

57. Sean my boy, their own policies are taking care of that. As we're seeing.

And while we watch.

This is suicide. Not murder.

[pecosbob]

58. He's right...the entire GOP is a criminal organization and should be prosecuted out of existence

Money laundering, bribery, espionage, election fraud...I could go on.

[Sympthsical]

60. There is always an alternative

[LowerManhattanite]

61. Awww...

…somebody must’ve put a bug in somebody’s hairy little ear about evidence that prominent GOP Congress members were caught up in the 1/6 f*ckery days in advance right up to day OF.

Now him pre-upset. 😂😂😂

[bahboo]

62. Inshallah.....

[634-5789]

63. ...."until there's nothing left of the party"...I don't see a problem .

[Quixote1818]

64. Well, the Republican party has become a smelly turd attracting criminal flies. So there is some

truth to this statement. LOL

[ALBliberal]

65. Hope Rings Eternal

[Brainfodder]

66. He's just pushing harder on viewers to act with this BS?

Translation: WE TRAITOROUS ASSHOLES ARE AWARE WE GOING DOWN FOR WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND DESERVE and THIS IS OUR PREDICTION THAT INVOLVES YOU!!!!

Just more EVIL rhetoric.

[AllyCat]

67. Then they should stop committing crimes.

Then DOJ won’t come after them.

[SharonAnn]

68. Exactly! If they're ALL criminals, then there will be nothing leeft of the party.

[SouthernDem4ever]

70. No Kidding!

I'm sick of Hannity and other right wing whack jobs pretending like they do nothing wrong. If they break the law they should be held accountable - all of them.

[Cheezoholic]

69. Yep and they've been doing that for half a decade. GWB scratched the paint giving the public a peek

Fat Nixon sandblasted the Elephant in the room and completely peeled back the facade. These repukes are the same breed they were 40 or 50 years ago. I hope they disintegrate and the entire half decade of conspiracy to preserve rich white entitlement goes down as proof that the American Experiment can work, even when threatened to it's core.

Make like a Russian Warship and go fuck yourself Hannity.

[onetexan]

71. Idiot forgot the second part- DOJ will target Repugs if they break the law

And the 3rd part - that the Con's administration not only weaponized the DoJ but consistently engaged in coverups and the prevented the adjudication of justice.

[ffr]

72. A one image reply to Hannity and his corrupt Guns Over People "party."

[SoFlaBro]

74. Fuck that shit they preach every week on that piss-soaked fuckwad of a shit show.

shit

[stonecutter357]

75. LOL Good also fuck putin !

[COL Mustard]

76. Yeah, like they're targeting Menendez

I missed his party switch.

Hannity is a complete idiot who has figured out how to make a nice living selling bullshit propaganda to the simple minded.

[Brainfodder]

77. Mr. Hannity, I must ask you..

Do you get spit on regularly in public?

You seem to want it real badly!

Does your order of food ever taste slightly OFF?

[Snackshack]

78. Committing crime

Can have that affect asshole. Individual #3 needs to stfu. How Fox gets away with letting a person who was in on all the crimes report on it is just a perfect example of how phucked up we are.

You are literally seeing a real world version of the fox in the hen house…no pun intended.

[Botany]

79. Gee Sean are you afraid that they will uncover your Russian connections?

On election day 2016 Hannity's former producer was @ a party to celebrate Trump's "win" with
some of the exact same Russians that attended the June 2016 meet up @ Trump Towers with
Don Jr., Jared, Manafort, and Russian agent Natalia Veselnitskaya.*

80. Year ago he was calling us weak on crime.

Damn if you do and damn if you don't.

[newdayneeded]

82. That's kinda how it works Sean.

You break the law and then get investigated/arrested. It's not persecution of repubs, just the law doing its thing.

[treestar]

83. Well, Hannity, maybe if they stopped committing crimes

that would be less of a problem.

[samplegirl]

84. Deservingly so

Brylcreem boy!

[Marthe48]

85. There is nothing left of the party

The parasite wasps laid their eggs in the minds of willing victims, and when those ideas hatched into larvae, they ate whatever brain, mind and soul the person was lost.

[NowISeetheLight]

86. Dead Already

As a former Republican for decades I can say with complete faith the “old” Republican Party is dead. Now it’s not a party anymore but a cult. Crazies, fanatics, conspiracy theorists, traitors and criminals.

[JudyM]

87. Oh, such a tease.

If only this would happen.

[William769]

88. As long as republicans are criminals

TheDepartment of Justice will target Republicans.
