Stormy Daniels lawyer claims Hannity, Cohen relationship was ‘extensive’

@ TheHill.com, 04/22/18

I am not seeing any evidence to prove the insinuation that Hannity's involvement had anything to do with the Brock criminal conspiracy and bid rigging, that seems to have no legs.

Instead, the controversy developing is in the hypocrisy of him taking advantage of the HUD mortgage insurance to profit on these properties, basically using a ton of Federal government subsidy. For example, Paul Begala's hit piece on this for CNN yesterday:  Sean Hannity is a 'welfare queen'

At the New Yorker News Desk, there was this yesterday, which I found interesting on many fronts:

Sean Who? An Afternoon in Hannityville

By Charles Bethea April 24, 2018

After reviewing lots of the documents, and explaining the whole HUD subsidy thing, Bethea reports how he visited one of the developments in Perry, Georgia, and interviewed a number of tenants, both African American and white, some self-described Dems, one old white guy who says he listens to mostly talk radio, heard the Hannity name but doesn't watch, the rest never heard of him, etc. Seeming to be people who we here on Dag might label "low info" because they mostly never heard of Hannity, don't seem to care that much who he is. And they all seem to be reasonably happy with the landlord's services, whoever he/she may be. Whoever he pays to manage, they are doing a good job.

Also if these tenants don't deserve to be called "low info" because they don't recognize Hannity as famous much less as connected to the president, they do still very much seem to qualify as the "everyday people" of the 2016 election.

For me, article is real wakeup call on how important we think these things are and how important those "everyday" people might think them. That which we think have the potential of huge scandal once the public knows about it might very well go over like a lead balloon.

Edit to add: Bethea notes Hannity got his start in GA, so he should have better name recognition there than elsewhere.
