Matt Gaetz, a Lawyer, Asked Sean Hannity, Not a Lawyer, How to Make Michael Cohen Firestorm Go Away

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) asked Sean Hannity for some sage advice amid a scandal involving President Donald Trump’s former friend, lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen in February 2019.

“Fuckers are coming for my law license,” Gaetz iMessaged the Fox News host. “You were right. We all spend our time in the barrel.”

To which Hannity texted back in a series of messages: “Run this shit by me!!! You won’t lose the license.”

Gaetz replied by praising Hannity as the “most powerful man in media”:

You’re the most powerful man in media. I don’t think you want the job of reviewing all my tweets. Your caring matters a great deal to me.

The instant Gaetz opened his gob, I started laughing. Could not stop. Uncontrollable waves of laughing out loud. Cried from laughing. I scared the neighbor’s dog. The idiot has no clue the mere sight of his unctuous, loathsome, vile presence is a laugh machine.

Biggest of which make DJT an object of veneration.

Glad to report we Democrats and a majority of Independents have herd immunity.

Because anyone who hires him to be their lawyer deserves to have him as their lawyer.

He appears to be just a wee bit out of control. What am I saying? He's way out of control, all of the time.
After seeing his antics and demeanor in the House, I can't imagine how he acts in a courtroom.

... Matt Gaetz is a US Congressman, so he can't pick up the phone and call Vladimir Putin without making waves. Sean Hannity can call Pootie, and probably does call him several times a week. So there you go!

Hannity reveals what scumbags like him and the Republican party rely on. There's always some other scandal to take attention away from the shit they do. Since they have no shame, they use the zero attention span for it all to disappear into the memory hole.
