Sean Hannity depletes global supply of tinfoil fashioning himself a lovely bonnet for tonight's show

Fox News’ Sean Hannity becomes unglued after Trump’s worst day ever



The Fox News host then claimed, with questionable evidence, that by mere virtue of being associated with Trump one’s life could now be “scoured for potential crimes.”

“Well, your doors will be kicked down late at night, early in the morning raids, the screws are going to be turned as Judge Ellis said,” Hannity decried. “And they will ask you to sing or compose, or you’ll go to jail for crimes that other people have committed and don’t go to jail for.” (All searches in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation have been executed using search warrants issued by judges.)

Hannity then invoked the name of the numerous felons in Trump’s orbit. In addition to Manafort and Cohen, the Fox News primetime star brought up Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos. Of Flynn, Hannity offered empathy for the former general’s service to “his country for 30 years.” Of Papadopoulos, he lamented, “I bet he regrets volunteering for the Trump campaign!”

Using selective evidence, the Fox News host then asserted that America now has a “two-tiered justice system.” According to Hannity, by mere virtue of being a Democrat, Americans can apparently get away with certain crimes. And – surprise! – it all somehow relates to Hillary Clinton.

No poor person would have been able to get away with the criminality that Trump, Manafort, Gates, Cohen et al did for decades without prompt arrest and prosecution.

I wonder if he is starting to distance himself even as he rallies behind King Yam.

The "But he was talking too!" defense is desperate.

Illegal is illegal. We don't let robbers and thieves go free because some other folks are stealing too.

What a whining twit. If you're poor and you shoplift, youre likely to go to jail for stealing. If youre rich and you money launder, the same punishment is only fair. Theft is theft.

It's on delay here. Yes I listen in if I'm running errands or something.

You have to be a regular listener/dumbass to understand what he's talking about. It's a stream of inside "jokes", obscure references, and wild ranting.
