HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
So this Michael Cohen thing is good for something, anyway.
On Friday, Cohen's legal team argued that they need to go through all the documents seized by the FBI to remove any that would constitute attorney-client privilege between Cohen and his hundreds or perhaps even thousands of other clients besides Trump. The judge, rightfully smelling something putrid asked them to come up with the actual number of clients. They immediately started hemming and hawing, so the judge gave them a couple of hours to compile the complete list of clients. As it happens, someone was taking pictures of Cohen smoking cigars with some friends of his while this was going on. He was decidedly available. And yet, when the deadline had passed, Cohen's team wasn't able to provide the list or even a definite number. The judge, not amused, gave them until today to get the list, and to make sure that Cohen was in attendance.
Today, Cohen did show up in court, and his team had the list of all of his clients. Except, he didn't have thousands, or hundreds, or even tens of clients. He only had three. His team readily revealed what was already publicly known: Trump and Elliot Brody were two of Cohen's clients. But, they weren't willing to name the third. I don't know exactly what they cited, but the judge apparently wasn't having any of it. So, they revealed the third client: Sean Hannity.
Now, Sean Hannity is probably Trump's loudest stooge at Fox News. Especially since O'Reilly "retired." And as far as I know, he hasn't done anything illegal. But what a coincidence! Why hadn't Hannity ever disclosed this while (barely) reporting on the raid and the fallout? Is or was Cohen one of Hannity's "sources?" Are there other Trump connections within Fox News? Can you imagine the indignation and condemnation at Fox News if it had been, say, Anderson Cooper, instead?
It's a shame that what should be a crisis of integrity and credibility probably won't amount to much among Fox's ardent viewers. Hannity has already shrugged it off, tweeting that he's only ever asked Cohen for legal advice. About real estate. You know, kind of like Trump.
Edited to add: Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about Roger Stone -

Boy, we might have to build a whole new prison.
