The U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot revealed more exasperated texts between Sean Hannity and the Trump White House, imploring the Fox News host to cooperate the ongoing probe.
Hannity enjoyed a close relationship with former President Donald Trump and his final Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. A week before the attack on the Capitol, the Fox News host expressed concerns about Trumps plans to thwart a congressional certification of Joe Bidens electoral victory.
We cant lose the entire WH counsels office, Hannity wrote to Meadows on Dec. 31, 2020, the House committee revealed on Tuesday. I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. After the 6 th. He should announce will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks people will listen.
That message, the committee wrote to Hannity, suggests that you had knowledge of concerns by Trumps White House Counsels Office regarding the legality of the former Presidents plans for January 6th. Such information, the committees chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) wrote in their letter to the Fox Host, are directly relevant to our inquiry.

(21,998 posts)2. "We can't lose the entire WH counsels office"
I wonder if this means lose as in lose their support in general, or lose as in they were going to quit en masse. Either way, there was clearly internal division (probably Giuliani/Lindell/Stone/Flynn et al vs saner WH officials) over Trump's strategy.
It's interesting that these texts show that Hannity clearly knew the game was up, that Trump had lost, and that his strategy to overturn the election was a bad idea. He's giving Trump post-presidency advice here ("announce will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily" ).
It says a lot when Hannity is one of the saner voices in the room.

I hope Hannity helps put a sock in him. That would be so poetic.
