Hannity: "Yes he's going to jail ...he was complicit in making sure that he hid his affair"

[speak easy]

Yes, he's going to go to jail and he should be indicted. He knew what he was doing was wrong. He was diverting campaign money. He was complicit in making sure that he hid his affair. He lied to us about it and he is going to end up serving jail time for this. Whether or not he knew it was wrong and against the law, which I believe he did know it was against the law, he is going to jail because you are charged with knowing the laws that apply to you. That applied and he broke the law.

Hannity in 2011, about John Edwards. One year later -

On May 31, 2012, the jury in the Edwards case deadlocked on most charges, and the judge declared a mistrial. In response, Hannity continued to argue that Edwards was guilty because he was using money in excess of the campaign limits to cover up an affair during the campaign. "If we look at this very closely, a campaign contribution, anything of value… for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election," Hannity said, "So weren't they trying to basically… circumvent the law?"

1. Great find

[grantcart]

7. Beyond great, epic

[Botany]

2. A sound and well thought out post but the people who watch Fox/Hannity are either incapable of ....

.... or refuse to do the kind of thinking that is required to understand that this shows that Hannity
is just a bullshit pusher who has no shame and demonstrates what a hypocrite he is.

[Foolacious]

15. Even if they do understand how hypocritical this is...

... they consider hypocrisy in the service of their "team" to be perfectly acceptable, while, of course, condemning it when it occurs on the part of some other "team". Loyalty and team-first attitudes are prime values for them; consistency and fairness are not.

16. Newt Gingrich led the charge to impeach Bill Clinton over his affair with Monica well at ...

... same time he was having an affair on his 1st or 2nd wife with what was going to be wife #3.

[SouthernDem4ever]

21. He lied under oath, that was why he was impeached

Of course, trump was able to betray his country and get away with it because of the pig repugs in the senate.

[Botany]

27. He (Clinton) should NEVER HAVE BEEN UNDER OATH about that stuff between him and Monica ....

.... and if was to go to court it should have been to a divorce court. I kind of think Bill and Hillary have some
kind of agreement and of that agreement I think it is nobody's business outside of B. & C.'s.

Whitewater was a money loosing real estate which the 1st special attorney said there was nothing there but
bring on Ken Starr (who was having an affair himself) who went after President Bill just because he could. And
so he got President Bill under oath to speak to a private sexual affair between two adults.

Both Trump & w bush/Cheney's actions were far worse.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

36. What nonsense about an agreement

I know people who have been in their company. They are not cold and indifferent to one another.

At all.

It's far more likely that Hillary stays not out of some "agreement" but because she loves her husband, who happens to be a very flawed man. I also believe he loves her, but he's stupid when it comes to what's in his pants. I've even heard that, down deep, he knows she's a far better person than he is, he looks up to her for that, and keeps trying to live up to it, even though he falls short of it more than he'd like.

I don't think either of them have every seriously considered a divorce, because it's not what either of them wants. They want to be together, because love and respect is still there, flawed as it is.

This sort of difficult but deep bond happens. A lot. That's why it's a bad idea to buy into the right wing smears about them.

[Botany]

38. What ever it is about the relationship between Bill and Hillary I consider that part of their ....

... private lives and that is where it should have stayed.

[keithbvadu2]

3. But... that's... different.

[LiberalArkie]

14. It is very different... Edwards was a Democrat

[randr]

4. We all know what is good for the goose

will never be good for the gander.
Do not expect equivalency to make a rats ass of difference

[republianmushroom]

5. Best suck it up, Hannity, and be truthful.

Oh wait you are a lying Fox host, you won't, so forget it.
You will whine that you are being picked upon like trump.

[Blue Owl]

6. K&R for visibility

Ol’ two-faced Hannity is hard at work being a hypocrite, as usual…

[Traildogbob]

9. Oh shit

As I was reading I thought he just gave up any contact with trump again. WTF. Then as I read I started thinking it was Clinton or someone else. Should have known, he can’t crawl back outta trumps ass Way too deep, and blocked in there by the crowded field.

[Ray Bruns]

34. I was thinking it was from The Onion.

[Martin68]

8. Brilliant!

[FakeNoose]

10. Yes the John Edwards case is very appropriate when discussing Chump

Edwards was disbarred as I recall, he never ran as a candidate for anything again. He was convicted and sent to prison for using campaign funds to support his out-of-wedlock relationship. ("Oh heavens" the Repukes had fainting spells over it!)

Now the same Repukes are doing backflips trying to excuse Chump for the very same behavior. We don't even know how many women he paid off during his 2016 campaign, but Steve Bannon told Michael Wolff that it must have been 100 women. It was probably an exaggeration, but it demonstrates the point ... It's OKay As Long As You're A Repuke.

[Lonestarblue]

12. I don't believe Edwards was convicted or sent to prison.

The trial ended in a deadlocked jury and was declared a mistrial. I think the DOJ later dropped the charges.

[FakeNoose]

13. OK thanks for pointing out my error

He's out of politics and he paid the price for it.

[fescuerescue]

29. He's living a pretty good life today though

multi-million dollar home on the ICW, plus another multi million dollar mansion in the city.

He paid a political price, but he's still a 0.1%'er.

[newdayneeded]

35. I really thought he was the next best thing

for the democratic party. Sad day when all that stuff came out.

[fescuerescue]

28. Edwards didn't go to prison. He also wasn't found guilty

Hung jury and never retried.

[MagickMuffin]

11. Now we need the audio/video would really be icing on the cake

It would be a thing of beauty!

[ificandream]

17. What Hannity says means nothing.

He'd deny he said this now.

[liberal N proud]

18. For republicans, it's not only about the color of your skin, but also your political affiliation

Democrats are treated differently

[OhNo-Really]

19. IOKIYAR in TN - Molestation, Spousal Abuse & Urinating on a Members chair NO Expulsion

Anyone with a flare for the obvious knows this is true

Tennessee proved it this week

It's Okay If You're A Republican In Tennessee!

This is a list of Tennessee Republican behaviors swept under the carpet by the GOP dominated Legislature.

Former GOP members not expelled even for a history child molestation and urinating on a member’s chair!

Link: https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-justin-jones-destroys-admitted-child-molester-and-other-republicans-who-werent-expelled-from-tn-house/

“Let’s talk about expulsion. For years, one of your colleagues who was admitted child molester sat in this chamber. No expulsion.

One member sits in this chamber was found guilty of domestic violence. No expulsion.

We had a former speaker sits in this chamber who is now under federal investigation. No expulsion.

We have a member still under federal investigation. No expulsion.

We had a member pee in another member’s chair in this chamber. No expulsion.

In fact, they’re in leadership … in the governor’s administration.

SHOCKING in its entirety!

———-

It is reported that the Tennessee 3 and Democratic members were NOT allowed to speak ON BEHALF of their FRIGHTENED and grieving constituents after the mass shooting.

It is reported that the Speaker didn’t follow the rules of debate regarding gun safety.

It is reported that the recently elected 2 Justin’s were repeatedly treated with hateful disdain by GOP colleagues on a regular basis.

For these reasons, the Tennesee 3 bravely chose some “good trouble” to allow their constituents a voice before the legislative body.

And because they are young, more articulate than most of the GOP reps, and black, they were wrongfully treated as criminals and expelled on the spot without an investigation and report.

It is nothing less than SHOCKING that these expulsions were performed without due process, in public view and the punishments exceeded those doled out to a former GOP child molester!

So feel free to stand up and be SHOCKED and OUTRAGED and prepared to protest in favor of democracy!

If we do not, we may leave our projeny in peril.

The GOP has become the Party of environmental & social Nihilism

(Typos due to age & vision issues. Thank you for your patience)

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

37. No need to thank anyone. I was honored to read this

Really. It lays out all of the traitor party's evil, in staggering detail.

[Uncle Joe]

20. My mind read your title

"Hannity: "Yes he's going to Hell ...he was complicit in making sure that he hid his affair""


Thanks for the thread speak easy

[speak easy]

31. Trump in Hell ...

sympathy for the devil

[MayReasonRule]

22. Rat Jumps From Titantic Trump - More Later

[COL Mustard]

23. The only problem with continuing to expose their hypocrisy

Is that neither they nor their base care if one of their own does "X". It's all swept under the rug or otherwise hidden. But let someone from the other side get a parking ticket and suddenly it becomes a capital offense. Hannity is one of the most vile in a sea of vileness. Hard to believe I used to actually listen to him.

OK, I need a shower now.

[smb]

24. It Would Be Amusing....

...to troll Cheatolini by piping clips like this into his Faux Noise feed so they appear to be recent comments about him.

[onetexan]

25. i read the snippet & thought hannity was talking about the Con...oy

26. TY!

[emulatorloo]

30. Thank you. Bookmarking so I can find it again. Plan to share with others.

[calimary]

32. Aw crap. Part of me thought it was as trump.

Even though my wiser self knew that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-vanity would never speak of trump that way.

[Oneironaut]

33. John Edwards is a scumbag and I hate seeing his name anywhere.

It’s only appropriate his name in the same sentence as Hannity. Elizabeth deserved better.
