yeah it would only be an issue if hannity ever interviewed cohen without disclosing their relationship or was a talking head who quixotically defended trump and attacked the raid on cohen's office. since he never did those things there is no reason the hannity thing is even worth mentioning 4/17/2018 12:31:05 PM |

If Hannity coordinated his attacks on Mueller with Cohen, wouldn’t that also be obstruction of justice? It’d be hard to prove, like you’d need a smoking gun of them discussing how to take down Mueller and they’d probably explicitly have to say it was to stop the investigation, but still. They all guilty AF. 4/17/2018 3:44:28 PM |

Attacking Prosecutors, investigators, or intimidating witnesses is obstruction though. Trump's tweets attacking the FBI and saying shitty things about Comey, McCabe, Sessions, (well its a long list isn't it) could be construed as obstruction, although its hardly the most egregious example that Trump has participated in.
If Hannity looked into the TV and said things meant to discredit, silence, or intimidate, Mueller, the FBI, Sessions, McCabe, etc that could be obstruction.
This assumes that Hannity is also somehow under investigation, Hannity knows he is (Cohen told him), and Mueller can PROVE that Hannity's intent was to influence, silence, or intimidate someone else involved in the investigation.
Again, I think that's a long shot from a prosecutor's perspective, but its not an impossibility. 4/17/2018 4:54:44 PM |

sorry, I'm talking about the legal definition of obstruction, not the act of becoming an obstacle to the investigation as a whole 4/17/2018 4:59:36 PM |
TerdFerguson All American 6600 Posts user info edit post |
I’m open to being wrong here, but witness intimidation is obstruction from a legal standpoint. If Hannity went on air and suggested that, for instance, “ZOMG THE DEEP STATE IS OUTTA CONTROL, COMEY IS THEIR LEADER,.......WE NEED TO CUT THE HEAD OFF THE SNAKE.” Or something along those lines, and intent to obstruct can be established, then how is that not obstruction of justice?
It’s small potatoes compared to the pressure/firings that Trump has participated in, but if Cohen and Hannity have been chatting (duh), it’s a real possibility they were discussing how to stop Mueller or intimidate other witnesses. That’s obstruction by any legal definition. 4/17/2018 5:16:00 PM |
Cherokee All American 8264 Posts user info edit post |
witness intimidation involves threats to life and limb of you or someone you care about. it may also cover the threat of firing you or something like that.
unless Hannity is threatening to do that to people I don't think it's legally obstruction
there's a possible window though with respect to impeachment. I'm not sure how broad "high crimes and misdemeanors" is 4/17/2018 8:14:31 PM |

I just assume their relationship has always been more quid quo pro than either of them actually liking the other. You don't have to dig very deep into his past to assume he's not going to be a good husband. If she's upset at him or hates him, seems like it would be more of a long term thing than just a reaction to any recent revelations 6/6/2018 9:59:26 AM |

You must listen to more Hannity than I do. The man is insufferable. I'll occasionally put him on the radio when I'm on my way home from work, and he's been the same broken record since I started tuning in.
He's still harping on the Clinton email thing, and every time I tune in I hear about how she "acid washed her hard drives." I'm not sure if her server was utilizing SAN storage or local storage, but any type of government data stored on hdd's will be wiped clean with multiple passes using some type of software. People that listen to him think this is something out of the norm, and they probably think that she actually took the hard drives out and physically dipped them in some kind of acid. 6/7/2018 7:34:54 AM |
