We knew today's Michael Cohen hearings were gonna be HOLY SHITFIRE, but we were NOT expecting that Michael Cohen's mysterious third client -- out of all three he's had since the beginning of 2017 (so many clients you can count on 60% of one hand!) -- the one whose name he was trying SOOOOOO HARD to keep a secret, would be THIS GUY:
And the choir said "THE FUCK? LOLOLOLOLOLOL PRAISE JESUS FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!"
We knew Hannity was tied up in all this Trump-Russia-BonerGate folderol in some unnatural way God never intended a group of loser dickhead white men to be tied up together -- it's been UNCONFIRMED RUMORED that he's in pretty deep -- but we never imagined Hannity would have enlisted the services of Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's very stupid fixer lawyer!
Another thing that makes sense is why Sean Hannity might perhaps have a teensy bit of paranoia about having ILLEGAL WIRE TAPPS done to him. Maybe they're fully legal WIRE TAPPS! And maybe the Deep State is inside Hannity's underpants drawer, just cold riflin' around!
This also adds shades of context to why, on top of how he's just a loser and a Trump slut and a hack, Hannity has led the charge of FREAKING THE FUCK OUT AND DECLARING WAR ON THE GOVERNMENT over the FBI's very valid and good investigation into Donald Motherfucking Trump, especially when indictments go down.
What is VERY sad about this is, you know how we always wonder if Fox News personalities are REALLY THAT STUPID, or if they are just playing stupid on TV because they make millions of dollars to lie to idiots? This confirms that Sean Hannity is actually, in his brain and in his heart, as dumb as a common Donald Trump. Like, for real, he looked at Michael Cohen and said, "I'm hiring THAT GUY." Did all the other lawyers in the entire world DIE?
Hannity has released a statement to the Wall Street Journal that he has "sought legal advice" from Michael Cohen, but WETHINKS that Michael Cohen's lawyers were not working this hard just to hide that one time Sean Hannity called Michael Cohen all "Hey, in your sexpert Cooley Law School opinion, should I take my neighbor to Judge Judy for letting her Pomeranian poop on my begonias? Lawsplain me that one!" We think there is something bigger at play here.
Let's wildly speculate about what Michael Cohen has "fixed" for Sean Hannity:
live boy
dead girl
MURDERRRRRRR of some other sort
live goat
dead ferret
voted for Barack Obama
carries picture of Hillary Clinton in his wallet and sometimes talks to it all sweet-like when he thinks nobody is looking
married Tucker Carlson in Vegas a few years back when they were drunk and doesn't have the heart to divorce Tucker but SHHHHHHH FOX NEWS SECRET
is cheating on Tucker with human grease stain Newt Gingrich, who is considering divorcing his third wife for Sean Hannity but come on, she's not even in the hospital, and if this stuff ends up in the tabloids ... CATCH AND KILL! CATCH AND KILL!
live porcupine
dead wombat
OH MY GOD SEAN HANNITY IS DONALD TRUMP'S BIOLOGICAL SON. Introduce yourself to your new big brother, Ivanka, Eric, Don Jr., Tiffany, Barron, the housekeeper's 30-year-old kid (allegedly) and probably a handful of others yet to be revealed (allegedly)!
Oh well, Sean Hannity's show is going to be pretty fun tonight, we bet. Can't hardly wait to hear his exclusive scoops about how Hillary Clinton fucked Batboy in Benghazi.
That is, unless he takes the night off to search his house for wire tapps. (SPOILER: They are in his favorite Trump-shaped buttplug. ALLEGEDLY. At least that's where we would put them if we were an FBI agent with the sense of humor of a common Wonkette.)
Now, since nobody is going to talk about anything else today, we are going to DRINK IN BED. So unless WaPo and NYT get funky later, this is your hella early end of day Open Thread.

Too late. Didn't you hear? The attorney-client privilege is dead. Don "The Don" Trump (aka "Don the Con" aka "Cheeto Don" aka "Cheatin' Don" aka "The Orange One" aka "Spanky" aka "That Moron in the White House") said so, so it must be true.
I guess the work-product privilege is next . . . .
I just thought adding a hyphenated "Wooster" to the end was pretty cool.
