Hannity: If Trump campaign...asked Russia to release hacked emails, "is that a crime?"

[blue-wave]

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I never understood it anyway. What was the collusion? That maybe somebody in the Trump campaign talked to somebody in Russia because Russia supposedly had the information that Hillary Clinton had destroyed on her server when she committed a felony and tried to cover up her crimes? And that they might say as a Trump campaign representative, "wow you have that? Tell the American people the truth. Let them see it themselves, release it." Is that a crime, to say "release it"? To show the truth? To show damaging information?

They are moving the goal post. First they denied it, now it's: What's the problem? And the attacks on Hillary, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi. They have ramped up their attack rhetoric in recent days. Why? Is the investigation creating so much heat that they must attempt to grossly distract?

1. Hannity's spin is Stage 3. Trump is still at Stage 2:

1. Global warming is not real.
2. It's real, but nor our fault.
3. It's our fault, but it's not something bad.


1. Russia didn't hack the election.
2. They hacked the election, but it's the fault of Obama.
3. They hacked the election, but that's not something bad.

2. Which indicates that they are willing to embrace/SPIN Hacking in an effort to halt any further

Revelations ... such as
1. The Quid Pro Quo for sanctions & codes& other sensitive classified data sets

2. The guidance provided by Vlad w/regards to cabinet staffing

3. The weaponization of stolen cyber data ..
And the various laundering activities related to said data

4. The immense amount of $$ laundering done by KGOP via campaign contributions

5. The classified data already provided to Vlad, thus far

6. The RICO worthy International business dealings which *45 & family has engaged in for decades

7. The degree of involvement of the KGOP Leaders in House/Senate ... who, upon indictment, will no longer be in a position to run interference for impeachment proceedings...

8. Flynn's actions & evidence in his possession of others' actions

9. The information gathered, over time, by an inner circle member whose loyalty was not to *45/KGOP...

10. Etc...,

So, yeah
I am sure that taking a chance on being able to SPIN Vlad's hacking is looking pretty good in comparison ......

3. Maybe,because he is going to fire mueller soon?

4. It seems as if Trump did collude...and yes Sean asking a foreign government to break the law on

your behalf is illegal.
