Hannity Goes After NYT Over Report on Mueller Questions: My Sources Say They're 'Full of Crap'

by Josh Feldman | 10:05 pm, April 30th, 2018

I am told by my sources tonight that The New York Times is full of crap.”

That was how Sean Hannity first reacted to the big new report from The New York Times tonight with the list of questions Robert Mueller has for President Trump. And he said his sources told him “a lot of those questions are not the questions that the special counsel is asking.”

Hannity said it’s clearly a leak from Mueller’s office. Fox News contributor Sara Carter called it a “disinformation campaign.”

Hannity agreed and said the press is being fed “lies, disinformation to manipulate the American people.”

“This is America becoming Venezuela,” he declared, before going through some of the questions. He read them off in disbelief and said, “These New York Times questions––you could use it to burn in your fireplace tonight.”

He makes big money for himself by feeding them lies that support their world view. Hannity is a con man opportunist who discovered a way to enrich himself off of the ignorant and stupid.

His mailing list would be coveted by other scam artists.

Think about some of these enlightened individuals you've ever met personally. I know one who will buy just about any bucket of shit someone tries to sell him. He bought a set of steak knives that were so expensive that the customer has to make monthly payments. These are really, really stupid people.

What I heard this morning is that it is a list of questions that Trump lawyers have learned that Mueller wants to ask. It isn't even clear if Mueller's team wrote them or if it was written by Trump lawyers to keep track of what they've learned.
The source for this is probably inside the White House, not the Mueller investigation.

...Mr. Mueller planned to ask, according to questions read by the special counsel investigators to the president’s lawyers, who compiled them into a list. That document was provided to The Times by a person outside Mr. Trump’s legal team.

They may be bottom of the barrel, but aren't that bad.

Probably a law clerk that took notes and then Trump himself bullied the clerk into leaking the information.

and I think Trump himself is often the biggest leaker of all - weren't there reports of how he calls "friends" outside the White House and plants gossipy stories about White House infighting, then the "friends" contact the media and give them the "scoop" from Trump.
