1. The problem is he's Republican so is immune from criminal prosecution.

Criminal actions by Republicans are cheeered and admired by other Republicans. The threat of prosecution is non existent.

[ananda]

18. As is bullying, sexual harassment and assault.

Al Franken was innocent but wrongly harassed by
fellow Dems (shame!) into retiring.

45 continues apace as one of the worst offenders ever!

[yardwork]

38. Where did all the law and order Republicans go?

When I was growing up in the 1960s and 70s Republicans were constantly yapping about laws and personal responsibility and service and honor.

Hypocrites.

[Kablooie]

42. They are still around but law and order only applies to Dems, foreigners and people of color.

[yardwork]

43. And hippies. I guess it was always that way!

[empedocles]

2. hmmmmm

[lindysalsagal]

3. Lock Him UP!

faux won't pull him from the air, nor will they pull gooliani.

[Rainbow Droid]

4. Is this real? Because that looks like a(nother) Felony, live and on the air. O_o

He's so going to jail. Soon.

[tblue37]

5. He then defanged it by saying that is what Hillary did, so would Mueller be OK with his

witnesses doing the same thing. IOW after saying to do it, he essentially said, "Nah. Just a hypothetical."

of course, most of his target audience would hear only the suggestion to destroy evidence, not the disclaimer that followed the suggestion.

6. And again:

7. By the time Sean Hannity gives you some free advice, it should have been done weeks ago.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Several witnesses have already turned in their phones. . . . . nt

[Soxfan58]

8. Is shit coming dowm

Was hannity getting the word out for all involved to destroy evidence? It is a episode of the Soprano's

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Hannithy on a pacifier for 20 years?

Nirvana, Baby!

[George II]

10. Obstruction of justice!

[Sunlei]

11. all those daily calls trump made to hannity are recorded by the phone company.

default for iPhone & apple products is 'cloud backup storage" /on

the eulas allow authorities legal access to phone company records and icloud records.

authorities wouldn't forget to check kids and wives phones either- a lot of time those "I don't use email people(like trump) really do use email because they have twitter accounts and porn hub accounts- those ALL require email to register.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. They are NOT recorded by the phone company.

They are LOGGED by the phone company. Only the time and other party's phone number. Not the content.

Big difference.

[Sunlei]

22. when home healthcare aid alone in house /w my mom was making calls-the phone

company had all the recordings to prove fraud. Not just the phone records of what number was called & when-that's on the phone 'bill' anyway.

Only thing we were concerned about was 2 hours of long distance phone calls the aid made. phone company had voice recordings they let us listen to the first couple minutes to dispute the bill- then when we (and Verizon management) heard crimes- the police took over.

I bet fox records & saves all calls anyway as a part of their business.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Possibly their software alerted to possible fraud (unusual patterns) and began recording.

I do not believe companies record calls just as a matter of course.

Your case seems highly unusual and very strange. I have never heard or read of anything like it.

[Sunlei]

27. maybe, but these days everythings in 'the clouds'-sucks for personal privacy.

but authorities have it easy.

Only thing I know is a different much better, home healthcare aid was assigned.

[Happyhippychick]

12. Uh, too late. Mueller already knows what's on those phones

He isn't stupid. By the time he asks a question, he knows the answer.

[ehrnst]

13. Like when Hillary did it as per State Department policy

and the internet blew up with how "corrrupt" that was?

[NewJeffCT]

21. That's already what the RWers are saying

Hannity was just describing what Hillary did to her emails...

[yardwork]

40. So it's wrong, then? They wanted to lock her up.

Republicans are blatant hypocrites.

[djacq]

14. Getting old here

When will Fox News fire this psycho?

[GusBob]

17. "destroy the evidence, you guilty fuckers"

[Generic Brad]

19. Hey, you! Get off of my cloud!

Is he so supremely ignorant as to think that none of his band of misfit toys opted out of cloud data storage? Manafort neglected to opt out, so it is not a stretch to figure out the rest of the gang who couldn't shoot straight did the same thing. The cat is already out of the bag and destroying phones where that was done will only bring further obstruction charges against them.

[CaptainTruth]

33. Love the Stones reference!

I saw them do that song on some variety show in the 60s, on mom & dad's big console B&W TV.

[C_U_L8R]

20. Old man yells at Cloud

Sean, Sean, Sean... you angry ignoramus. Don't you know the data lives on in the cloud on countless redundant servers. But that was pretty slick how you publically incriminated yourself and endangered all the witnesses with your dumb advice. Jackass.

[Nitram]

23. Makes me wonder what is on those phones that might incriminate Hannity.

[Cyrano]

24. He's a disease.

[33taw]

26. Destroying the phone won't destroy the back-ups to any messages sent via WhatsApp....

These guys do not get that once it is digitial, it is out there somewhere forever.

[forgotmylogin]

34. PLEASE HANNITY VIEWERS! PROCEED TO SMASH YOUR PHONES TO PIECES!

The FBI has no way of recovering that information!

MAKE SURE YOU THEN PUT THE PIECES IN THE MICROWAVE AND RUN IT FOR 15 MINUTES.

THEN ALSO DESTROY YOUR MICROWAVE, AS IT IS ALSO LIKELY SPYING ON YOU.

ALL FRAGMENTS NEED TO BE REDUCED TO A FINE POWDER FOR MAXIMUM PRIVACY, SO IF YOU HAVE A FOOD PROCESSOR OR A BLENDER, DO NOT HESITATE TO EMPLOY IT. SPARKS AND SMOKE ARE A SIGN THE PRIVACY MEASURES ARE WORKING. DO NOT BREATHE iPHONE SMOKE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

[33taw]

37. Nice!

[yardwork]

41. Hannity gets technical info from Trump. He thinks it's acid washed.

[Chickensoup]

28. Please some one answer this legal question.

Is what that idiot said a protected
Free speech?

[DetlefK]

29. There are reasonable exceptions to the 1st Amendment.

Insults and defamation are not covered by free speech. As are incitement to commit crimes.

[Chickensoup]

31. Thanks.

[rurallib]

30. Sure would like to see him arrested on the air in the middle of his show

must see TV

[riversedge]

32. I hope Karma hits Hannity hard!

[sarcasmo]

35. Senior citizens like Sean Hannity don't understand the cloud.

Breaking your cell doesn't delete the information.

[33taw]

39. Some of us do.

[Javaman]

36. Ham sandwich is a sniveling little coward and will sing like a canary

when he gets disposed.

[Mc Mike]

44. Smash them with hammers. Pour bleach on everthing.
