Sean Hannity thinks he’s next
Fox News host Sean Hannity got so spooked by a pair of developments this week in Donald Trump’s scandals, he ended up going on air and encouraging Trump-Russia witnesses to destroy their phones before Special Counsel Robert Mueller could get his hands on them. Because Hannity is knee deep in Trump’s scandals himself, and the evidence in question could potentially involve him, there’s no question that he was committing obstruction of justice in the process. Now he’s revealing the full extent of his panic.
Hannity had his meltdown because of two developments. The first was a new lawsuit from Stormy Daniels which pegged Hannity as being in the middle of a conspiracy between Daniels’ former attorney and Donald Trump’s fixer Michael Cohen. The second was the revelation that Trump-Russia witnesses have been voluntarily giving their phones to Robert Mueller for the past two months. But now a third development has Hannity even more spooked.
Last night Donald Trump and his remaining loyalists at the Department of Justice scored an indictment against former Senate staffer James Wolfe, who gave details about the Trump-Russia investigation to a New York Times reporter. This was a clear attempt on Trump’s part at scaring reporters out of continuing to expose his criminal scandals. But this development, despite being led by Hannity’s pal Trump, only served to spook Hannity further.
Here’s what Sean Hannity tweeted about the matter: “I am always extremely concerned when reporters sources are sought in investigations—- now more than ever. I’m also concerned about lying to FISA judges, unmasking, leaking intel, a dual system of justice!! We need to get to the truth here, and we will! Scary times.” Now that Trump’s goon squad is going after reporters for doing their jobs, Hannity seems to think that Mueller will go after him for his role in Trump’s scandals. In other words, Hannity thinks he’s next.
