The above is just borrowing from many poets and playwrights who observed that It takes many years to build up trust but only an afternoon to throw it all away.

This response is an attempt to distance himself from those friends.
Whatever falls out from this connection, Hannity is no longer a player.
He just wrote himself out of the script.

Same opinion in a less legal, more eloquent, (and to me, more convincing) frame:

Michael Cohen and the End Stage of the Trump Presidency by Adam Davidson @ NewYorker.com, April 14 (yes, way back on Saturday unless it's a typo!)

Of course, the most & the best. It's a combination of The People's Court/Judge Judy and The Sopranos - all like on TV (though skipping any of the serious stuff). I'm rather tired of being on this bastard's RealityTV, and I will hold no end of a grudge against the party that continues to enable it (that includes you, weasel Ryan, your sneaky Gollum-in-the-shadows Nunes and Supreme Court-stealer McConnell - rule of law my ass).

Constitutional law expert Noah Feldman @ Bloomberg.com:

Trump Should Be Worried by Cohen Probe. Really Worried.

Federal prosecutors can dog him for the rest of his presidency, and he has no power to fire them.

Judge Wood should not get all

In reply to Jake Tapper has it right:

Judge Wood should not get all the credit, according to Bertrand, who was in the courtroom:

A note about this: Judge Wood was prepared to let Ryan give her the name of Cohen’s third client under seal. At that point, an attorney for the NYT and CNN approached the podium and convinced her that the press (&public) should know. She agreed. He played pivotal role here. https://t.co/nbJUaAw4Ys

Quite interesting to see what (Atty./Prof) Seth Abramson saw in the very same Hannity tweet, hah:

In one fell swoop, Hannity:

1 Says Cohen lied to a federal court about being his lawyer
2 Says any docs about him the feds seized aren't privileged
3 Makes himself a witness for Mueller
4 Revealed an undisclosed on-air conflict of interest
5 Contradicts what he said on the radio https://t.co/ZznOALMULq

How does this work when the president himself tells reporters to call “my attorney,” meaning Cohen? https://t.co/Rvu2MW0dTS

WH continues remarkable effort of trying to distance Trump from Cohen. Hogan Gidley on @ac360 says Cohen is one of “many” Trump lawyers. Earlier today, Sanders: “I believe they've still got some ongoing things, but the President has a large number of attorneys, as you know.”
