So it's Hannity.

The 2-time college dropout. No offense to dropouts, I just think that one shouldn't have control over the President of the United States, especially with a brain that's thick as a post.

From The Daily Beast, that's gotten more than its share of Trump scoops:

According to three sources with knowledge of their conversations, Trump has been in regular contact with Hannity over the phone in recent weeks, as the Fox News primetime star and Trump ally has encouraged the prompt release of a controversial four page memo crafted by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee. Hannity has gone to the wall to push for the public release of the memo, which the Intelligence Committee and its chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), authorized this week in a party-line vote despite the classified information therein.”

Sources say Hannity’s persistent advocacy reinforced Trump’s already growing determination to get that memo into the public realm—despite huge potential fallout within the law enforcement and intelligence arms of his own administration.

In their conversations, Trump and Hannity discussed the Nunes memo’s supposed bombshell-level significance, and how it could shed light on the alleged anti-Trump bias and “corruption” at the FBI. On these calls, Trump has directly referenced specific recent Hannity segments related to #ReleaseTheMemo, according to one of three sources with knowledge of their conversations.

.... Odd don't you think for a USRep. (known as a friend of Putin) to visit a criminal seeking assylum---avoiding extradition to US. Yet, it's highly unlikely that he travelled thousands of miles just to have afternoon tea with known conspirator of Putin and trumpf.

Last year according to Kevin McCarthy otro raton ..."Putin pays trumpf and ratonbacher"...Ryan shushes him and tells him ... we dont say, we are all family here. lt was all caught on video, of course, lying Ryan denied, even as MSM played then given there was proof Ryan said it was all in jest. Dems are woke!

There's is certainly something rotten in the state of Denmark. Hopefully one day la verdad will be exposed and we will know the depth and breath of trumpf's criminality and/or his family, advisors, congressional republikkklan's complicity...and finally find out just wtf is going on between those you noted..Putin, Hannity and trumpf.

Who knew the Ecuadorian embassy in London would become the popular hangout for creepy old white American males. Definitely in need of fumigation.

Fox and Friends (dumbest name of any show, ever) just wait until they find out it’s actually HANNITY feeding him bullshit. Nothing could be worse.

Fox and Friends is three idiots on a couch. Hannity is a scheming shitbag.

I've been flipping from MSNBC over to Hannity for a few seconds here and there to see what he's pushing. It is astounding, all about an "FBI coup," how "liberal" the FBI is, Clinton (Hillary AND Bill) still poses some kind of threat, as does Obama and George Soros-- all the usual shit, with shouting, unbearable crosstalk, bulging eyeballs and neck-cords, all screaming and clawing the air, as if the Democrats/progressives are going to show up any minute at the door with firearm-confiscation notices.

The sheer tonnage of lies, reactionary spin and disinformation on Hannity alone could sink a battleship.
