Sean Hannity’s Ties to Two More Trump-Connected Lawyers

The Fox News host denies that Michael Cohen was ever his lawyer—but Hannity was represented by a pair of legal advisers who also have close links to the president.

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump will be in Washington during this year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner Washington, Michigan, that is.

I do hope we find out what Mr Hannity hired Mr Cohen for? Grin

Haley punches back at White House over sanctions: ‘I don’t get confused’ politi.co/2qI5wuv

cozietoesie · 18/04/2018 00:59

She did put in 'With all due respect', though. Grin

TheClaws · 18/04/2018 01:14

They had an image of her with looking all steely and her ‘don’t mess with me, now, or I’ll rip your face off’ look on.

I’m not sure they actually need his blessings, but that sure is thoughtful.

.@POTUS says North Korea, South Korea have his 'blessing' to try ending decades-long war

TheClaws · 18/04/2018 01:17

Sorry, ‘blessing’, as that’s different.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2018 01:20

I thought - when you started the post - that you were referring to Haley. (She's getting some (muted) stick on the net for not adding 'Bless him/them' to her statement.) Grin

Kudlow just told me he has spoken to Haley & apologized to her, saying he was "totally wrong" to call her confused & didn't have complete info. "The policy was changed & she wasn't told about it, so she was in a box."

The more interesting angle is, though, that 45 just 'changed his mind' on imposing new sanctions on Russia. Smile

I’d take that one for $100, cozie!

Interesting read. Sorry if it has been posted before.

Ah. An unindicted co-conspirator. It was Nixon. (I had a vague memory of that.)

Oh, Barbara Bush has died.

Do you think the funeral will be private or will Presidents be there?

Lweji · 18/04/2018 07:41

From the Guardian:

In a joint statement, the Obamas said Bush lived her life “as a testament to the fact that public service is an important and noble calling; as an example of the humility and decency that reflects the very best of the American spirit”.

Bill and Hillary Clinton called Bush a “remarkable woman”.

“She had grit and grace, brains and beauty. She was fierce and feisty in support of her family and friends, her country and her causes,” the Clintons said in a statement.

“She showed us what an honest, vibrant, full life looks like.”

Little messages to current President or is it me?

lionheart · 18/04/2018 08:04

Meanwhile, the WH statement on Bush managed to get the date wrong (2017).

Haley must be steaming but it was bound to happen. Everyone who admires the Emperor's new clothes for whatever reason gets shafted.
