On a (slightly related) note -

Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, represented just three people in the last few years.

1) Trump - for whom Cohen paid $130,000 (without Trump knowing, apparently) to porn star Stormy Daniels, to keep her silent.

2) Elliott Broidy - Former Republican National Committee official who resigned after it became public that he'd gotten a Playboy model pregnant while have an extramarital affair - Cohen worked out a deal with the model for $1.6 million for her silence.

3) Cohen tried to keep the 3rd one secret - today U.S. District Court judge Kimba Wood (appointed by Reagan) forced Cohen to reveal the name of that client.

Sean Hannity.

Are we sure this not an attempt by Russia to misinform.

No other outlet is reporting this, in fact one outlet updated less than an hour ago says the U.S is still considering sanctions ???

And?

What is illegal about representing Sean Hannity in this total witch hunt of a non-story ?

The most recommended comment in today's FT makes an incisive point.

Not illegal. Just interesting.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

One point I can see is whether Sean Hannity would have had to declare a conflict of interest when reporting/commenting on matters in which his lawyer was involved. I don't know the legalities of this.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

It's not illegal for reporters to hide conflicts of interests. Not that Sean Hannity is a reporter as such.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Clearly Fake News.... An actual Trump tweet last week.... criticising Putin, in name, propping up Assad... he's done more than what Corbyn has for sure.

A comment is such a comment, not fake news.

Haley said on Sunday Haley that sanctions against Moscow will "be coming down" on Monday; today Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "We are considering additional sanctions on Russia and a decision will be made in the near future".

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

None of those showed up on my google search. Either way, perhaps Nikki spoke out of step. Not her role to decide on Sanctions. That’s up to the U.S government. We will see what happens down the line. Not that Sanctions really work.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Haley is in a Cabinet-level position and is on the NSC, so she is a member of the US Government.

Putin thinks sanctions are worthless, that must be why he complains about them so much...

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Still, it’s not stopped his countries behaviour.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Don't forget "Mr. Comey" is presently promoting his book.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Interesting piece about James Comey by the BBC's North American editor Jon Soppel who has read the book and watched the interviews. He concludes that Comey is still a threat as Trump has been unable to prove him a liar. And Trump's poor record on the truth front won't make this task easy.

Comey has his signature on a dodgy FISA Application. He leaked his Classified memos to the press. Comey should have a lot to worry about, legally, so is not walking tall, IMO and even more so as fellow law enforcement officials come out against his stance and book writing.
