    Soon enough.

    That is a cult. Watch the commercials and see how all of them have the same blue shirts buttoned up just enough for the cross to hang over.

    One of the problems with him, you can never, ever trust his word, no matter who you are or what the subject is. Always assume he is lying.

    Hannity's name isn't even in a headline on the Fox News page right now.

    You'd think someone would have run it by corporate by now.

    Could one of board lawyers enlighten me as to why Hannity being the third person named is an important story? I'm not asking this sarcastically -- I hope I see the day where he is led out of Fox News in handcuffs -- but I'm curious as to why this is an important development, or what the possibilities could be of having Hannity as a client.

    A) consider Cohen's most notable work recently. B) A journalist "covering" this to the extent Hannity has not disclosing it to his audience. Might be a bigger "journalism" problem for Hannity than anything else.
    Unless this is going to be another one of those "I didn't know he was doing anything for me" responses.

    So far, because Hannity has been doing solo improv this afternoon, his story and Cohen's don't quite jibe. This is a problem for Cohen because he has made representations in court. If they don't stand up, he's got yet another criminal problem on his hands.

    Hannity has already put out statements saying that it was an informal thing of sorts. He talked to him a few times with legal questions, but it was just for input, didn't involve Cohen representing him with regard to any other party, and he was never invoiced or paid Cohen for anything.

    While the informal legal advice thing works best for Hannity, it kind of doesn't work for Cohen, because he needs to be convincing the court that he's a practicing attorney with a ton of clients whose rights are going to be violated if the Feds can go through the stuff they seized.
