Hannity invites Comey to come on his show

Source: The HILL



.
Fox News host Sean Hannity on Saturday invited James Comey to come on his broadcast programs after the former FBI director took to Twitter to share his thoughts on President Trump.

Hannity responded to a tweet from Comey telling Trump that "the American people will hear my story very soon" by inviting the former FBI chief to appear on his prime-time Fox News show and his radio show.

I haven't listened to FM radio in my car since the station I listened to turned into K-Love.

The Radio Empire(?) that Hannity, Limbaugh and their wannabes are largely broadcasting from is bankrupt and with $20B in debt. I am assuming their creditors and vendors are beyond running out of patience as we speak.

tax breaks for billionaires, voter suppression, and worse - global warming denial.

now it can be all be digitized for $5/hr, transcribed, and searched so all those advertisers and their agencies need to know what they're really associating with.

I suggest Thom Hartmann and his crew text or e-mail or phone Mr. Comey about appearing on his show.. That way over 6 million people will HEAR the TRUTH and can form their own opinions. Not like getting put down and asked ridiculous questions from the Fix so-called news clowns!! Hannity is losing badly to Rachael and Chris Hayes as well as Lawrence, all renowned news people.

Comey could then refer to his book .." Read my book" answer to all the rediculous question Hannity would ask...

Give fox noise news no energy....To agree deflates Hannity from the get go.... calling his bluff.

Even the director of the FBI would think that an excessive and counterproductive amount of aggressive badgering.

Hannity is incredible. In the true sense of the word.

...about his vacation and things he does with his grandkids. Hannity would have one of those desk lamps like in the old detective movies and not have any water on the desk.

The trick he uses is to shoot a question that requires a nuanced answer at him, then interrupt to ask a new one. It gives the appearance that the interviewee can't answer a simple question. It's frustrating to watch.

He just wants another reference/inside joke for first 10 minutes of his radio show

If you’ve never caught his radio show it’s actually dumber than his TV gig. Trust me you’ll need a pen and paper to write down the loose references to figure out what the hell he was talking about and THEN you will think it’s dumber than when you heard it live.

Hannity has been in direct contact and receiving information from Julian Assange, a fugitive from justice, and an agent of a hostile foreign power. Comey is likely to know much detail regarding this subject. Comey could compromise such an investigation by speaking with Hannity. Comey, Yates, and Bharara were all investigating Fox before they were fired.

Hannity will, of course, say that Comey is a coward, and such a narrative will play well with his viewership.
