Self-Own: Hannity Tells NBC News To 'Read And Learn' From Story By NBC

By ESME CRIBB Published DECEMBER 21, 2017 2:03 PM

Star Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday told NBC News to “read and learn” from a story that the network reported and published in the first place.




NBC News reporter Hallie Jackson pointed out the contradiction in Hannity’s advice.




The story Hannity cited, which NBC News published Thursday morning, cited unnamed law enforcement officials who said that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has directed federal prosecutors to seek more information from FBI agents about the closed investigation into a deal allowing Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear energy agency, to acquire a stake in Canadian mining company Uranium One.

The White House, Republican elected officials and conservative media have argued that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s role in the deal merits further scrutiny. Their allegations have come amid increased attention on—and the apparent acceleration of—special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign had any hand in that foreign meddling.

Maybe Donald Trump, or the Russians have come compromising information on him. Maybe his wife wanted to leave him for Bill Clinton. Maybe his wife wanted to leave him for Hillary Clinton. Maybe his wife voted for Hillary Clinton.

Going after the CIA and FBI as Trump and Republicans have been doing won't work out very well for them.

Hannity will never get over Wikipedia having him labeled as a conspiracy theorist.

I may be wrong, but didn't he do the same thing a few months ago. When I first saw this story I thought this is the second time Sean Hannity has done this with the same story. I am willing to believe that he did the same thing with a different story, but I thought sure Hannity had done the same thing with either NBC, or some other MSM news channel with the same result of being called out and told he had linked to a story from a MSM news channel. Maybe it was another Republican.
