Sean Hannity responded to yet another attack from the Deep State Monday alleging he was Michael Cohen’s 3rd client.
The New York Post:
The mysterious third client of President Trump’s embattled personal lawyer Michael Cohen was revealed Monday as Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Cohen was ordered to appear in court by Judge Kimba Wood and cough up Hannity’s name as part of the investigation into $130,000 in hush money Cohen paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, who allegedly had an affair with Trump in 2006.
Cohen fought against having to reveal the confidential list — all of three clients — as part of a bid to block the feds from reviewing documents that could be protected under attorney-client privilege.
His lawyer Steve Ryan argued — in vain — that the unnamed third client is a “publicly prominent individual” who didn’t want to be associated with the ongoing investigation into Cohen’s business dealings.
Sean Hannity said on his radio show Monday he has never retained Michael Cohen, never paid Cohen and Cohen has never represented him. He only asked Cohen for advice.

Sean Hannity sent out tweets as well addressing the Cohen drama.
Hannity tweeted: Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.

Part two: I assumed those conversations were confidential, but to be absolutely clear they never involved any matter between me and a third-party.

The question must be asked about the judge on this case…
Which law states that Michael Cohen needs to reveal all his clients?
Is this judge another Obama apointee?

From legal insurrection:
Contrary to what a lot of reporters are tweeting, it doesn’t matter that Hannity never retained Cohen in a matter, signed a retainer, or paid attorney’s fees. He still was, for legal purposes, a client if he consulted even informally for legal advice. https://t.co/7DzqT8x29p
