yo the best thing about this all the legal precedent it sets.....if the judge allows Cohen s lawyer's motion...then wow at the future of law enforcement
 
but the most ironic part of all this is client attorney privilege is waived if the convo happened in front of someone else.....im willing to bet that Trump Cohen and KKKlanity had mad convos about all this...meaning Trump being there would nullify Cohen and KKKlanity privilege; KKKLanity being there wiuld nullify Trump and Cohen privilege

McConnell: I Will Not Bring A Mueller Protection Bill Up For A Senate Vote

Just two days before the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to consider legislation to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller from being fired, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made clear he had no intention of letting such bill be brought up for a full Senate vote.

“I’m the one who decides what we take to the floor. That’s my responsibility, as the Majority Leader and we will not be having this on the floor of the Senate,” McConnell told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto Tuesday. He reiterated his previous claims that such legislation is not necessary and that there is “no indication” that President Trump would fire Mueller.

“I don’t think the President is going to do that. And just as a practical matter, even if we passed it, why would he sign it?” McConnell said.

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act — legislation that was created by merging two bipartisan Senate bills designed to protect Mueller. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC, Chris Coons (D-DE), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Cory Booker (D-NY) are the legislation’s sponsors.

It remains to be seen whether McConnell’s stated refusal to advance the bill will spook Judiciary Republicans from supporting it on Thursday.

The legislation would codify Justice Department regulations limiting who can fire a special counsel and for what reasons. It also would give a fired special counsel the option to challenge his or her removal court.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in a statement called it a “mistake” not to pass legislation protecting Mueller.

“We ought to head off a constitutional crisis at the pass, rather than waiting until it’s too late,” Schumer said. “I hope the Judiciary Committee moves forward with a bill, and that members of Senator McConnell’s caucus push him to reconsider.”

Fox News Staffers Reportedly Shocked by Hannity-Cohen Revelation: ‘This Is Bad’

Pretty much everyone was shocked yesterday when Sean Hannity was announced as Trump lawyer Michael Cohen‘s third client. And yes, that includes people at Fox News.

We already knew that to some degree, as was made clear by the awkwardness ofhow some of Hannity’s colleagues covered this news, but a new report from Gabriel Sherman in Vanity Fair gives some more insight into what the internal reaction was:

“What the fuck? This is the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen,” one staffer told me. “This is bad,” another Fox staffer said. “It violates every rule of journalism”…

According to employees I spoke to, a range of theories swirled through the newsroom. Did Hannity have a woman problem like Cohen clients Trump and Elliott Broidy, the former Republican fund-raiser who paid $1.6 million to a former Playboy model who had an abortion amid an affair with Broidy? “Everyone’s first impression was the same: you only hire Cohen for one reason,” one staffer said. Another staffer speculated Hannity hired Cohen to help him fight left-wing groups that were orchestrating an advertiser boycott after Hannity fanned the Seth Rich conspiracy last year. “Hannity was paranoid and hiring lawyers,” the staffer said. Still another theory posited that Cohen perhaps brokered a meeting between Hannity and Julian Assange last year.

Some of Hannity’s colleagues, like Juan Williams and Judge Andrew Napolitano, have publicly criticized Hannity for not disclosing his relationship with Cohen.

Sherman reports some staffers were “frustrated” that Hannity wasn’t disciplined by the network.

Fox News made clear in a statement today that the network is standing by Hannity: “While FOX News was unaware of Sean Hannity’s informal relationship with Michael Cohen and was surprised by the announcement in court yesterday, we have reviewed the matter and spoken to Sean and he continues to have our full support.”

Some White House Aides Reportedly Consider Hannity ‘The Unofficial Chief of Staff’

We all know that Sean Hannity is close with President Trump and they speak on a regular basis. A new Washington Post report makes it clear just how close that relationship is.

And if you were wondering just how much the President values Hannity’s opinion, well:

The phone calls between President Trump and Sean Hannity come early in the morning or late at night, after the Fox News host goes off the air. They discuss ideas for Hannity’s show, Trump’s frustration with the ongoing special counsel probe and even, at times, what the president should tweet, according to people familiar with the conversations. When he’s off the phone, Trump is known to cite Hannity when he talks with White House advisers.

Some White House aides have even taken to viewing the Fox News host as “the unofficial chief of staff,” or the “shadow” chief of staff. As one adviser put it, “He basically has a desk in the place.”

Multiple reports on the inner workings of the Trump White House to date have shown us that the President tends to call outside allies to vent. Hannity is apparently “atop the call list” most of the time.

And in case anyone was wondering whether Don Jr. and Eric have anything to do with this, the answer is yes:

Hannity’s relationships with Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have served as the “glue” of his relationship with the president, one White House official said.

The two men appreciate Hannity bringing them on his program and recognize how those appearances have been important for their own profiles, the official said, noting that Hannity was a constant presence with the family at debates during the presidential campaign and widely liked by Trump family members.
