What if Hannity really wasn't a client? [View all]

But when first asked, just went along with the fiction that he was, to make it look like Cohen was a real, practicing attorney. Then got cold feet about allowing the lie to be told in court and rectified the lie?

That's what I think happened. Not that Hannity is such an honest guy, but rather that he realized that he was playing with fire.

I think it would be a lie vlyons Apr 2018 #8

It wouldn't be Hannity's lie. And it wouldn't necessarily be anyone's lie onenote Apr 2018 #12

But why Hannity and not Joe the brother-in-law? JenniferJuniper Apr 2018 #5

Because at two clients he wasn't a real lawyer, but at three he was Perry Mason? marble falls Apr 2018 #6

Well none of the Trump hangers-on can be accused of being smart. vlyons Apr 2018 #9

The attorneys did not speak under oath. They did not perjure themselves. Justice Apr 2018 #15

Very likely it's a desperate attempt to hide a document Hortensis Apr 2018 #11

That's a pretty outlandish theory, vlyons. Nitram Apr 2018 #13

I don't think so. Women have claimed Hannity harassed them. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #14
