Sean Hannity Seems Kinda Spooked

Sean Hannity would like to STRONGLY ADVISE EVERYBODY OF A THING!

And if YOU don't STOP LYING about SEAN HANNITY, then MAYBE he'll call his LAWYER, who will ALSO be VERY MAD, not only because you are LYING about SEAN HANNITY, but maybe ALSO because the PRISON ran out of CHOCOLATE MILK this morning, that is if Sean Hannity's LAWYER is still MICHAEL COHEN, which he probably ISN'T, but Wonkette is just a DICK who wants to REMIND YOU of that time SEAN HANNITY was one of MICHAEL COHEN'S THREE CLIENTS and we all LOLOLOLOLED ALL THE LIVELONG DAY about THAT.

So, um, what's buddy boy up there bitchin' about? Well! Since you asked!


It's been coming up in depositions from credible witnesses to the House impeachment inquiry that people at the State Department have had to have little talks with Sean Hannity about his conduct on air, specifically from this spring when Rudy Giuliani was leading his Two Minutes Hate against then-ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, trying to get her removed. Some of Rudy's smear campaign ended up on Hannity's nighttime funnypapers show about imaginary Hillary Clinton scandals. Surprise, it was debunked John Solomon dogshit.

From Yovanovitch's testimony:

MS. YOVANOVITCH: What I was told by [(acting) Assistant Secretary of State] Phil Reeker was that the Secretary [of State] or perhaps somebody around him was going to place a call to Mr. Hannity on FOX News to say, you know, what is going on? I mean, do you have proof of these kinds of allegations or not? And if you have proof, you know, tell me, and if not, stop. And I understand that that call was made. I don't know whether it was the Secretary or somebody else in his inner circle. And for a time, you know, things kind of simmered down.

THE CHAIRMAN: I mean, does that seem extraordinary to you that the Secretary of State or some other high-ranking official would call a talk show host to figure out whether you should be retained as ambassador?

MS . YOVANOVITCH: Well, I 'm not sure that' s exactly what was being asked.

THE CHAIRMAN: Well, they were asking [...] was Hannity one of the people criticizing you?

MS. YOVANOVITCH: Yes.

And now from the testimony of George Kent, deputy assistant secretary of State, whose deposition transcript was released yesterday and who will testify publicly next Wednesday alongside (acting) ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor (that day gonna be LIT). This is also about the slander campaign against Yovanovitch, which aired on the "Hannity" show:

Q. What US media outlets?

A. Well, Mr. Solomon started off in The Hill, as I recall. There was a lot of tweeting, and of people that I had not previously been aware of, and then that also then played into late night television, subsequent days, both the Hannity Show and the Laura Ingraham Show covered this topic extensively.

Q: That original John Solomon article, was that based on accurate information?

A. It was based on an interview with [corrupt former Ukraine prosecutor general/Rudy Giuliani bullshit provider] Yuriy Lutsenko.

Q: And was the information that Mr. Lutsenko provided accurate, to your knowledge?

A. No. It was, if not entirely made up in full cloth, it was primarily non-truths and non-sequiturs.

And then about the allegation that somebody at State called Sean Hannity and told him to knock it the fuck off:

Q. Are you aware of anyone from the Department of State at around the end of March or beginning of April reaching out to Sean Hannity?

A. Yes.

Q. What do you know about that?

A. I believe, to the best of my recollection, the counselor for the Department, Ulrich Brechbuhl, reached out and suggested to Mr. Hannity that if there was no proof of the allegations, that he should stop covering them.

Q. And how do you know that?

A. Because I was informed of that in an email.

In other words, exactly what Yovanovitch said. So who you gonna believe? These two career State Department officials who remember the exact same thing, or Sean Hannity, who has a well-earned reputation for being Sean Hannity?

Hannity has been whining and whining and whining about this all week. He seems kinda spooked, TBH.

The Daily Beast has some transcript of some of it:

"I don't know anything about that lady," he reiterated. "I have no idea how to pronounce her last name ...

Yoh-Vawn-Oh-Vitch, you dipshit. It's actually one of the easier ones of the Trump-Ukraine treason scandal.

"I never talked to Secretary [Mike] Pompeo or anybody at the State Department about her or anything else, I don't know anything about her." [...]

After asserting that Yovanovitch was only mentioned in passing on his show in the past, Hannity went on to play a clip of Lutsenko making his since-retracted "do-not-prosecute" claim about Yovanovitch to Solomon. Hannity, however, made no mention of the fact that Lutsenko later walked that back or that Kent said the former top prosecutor had made everything up.

Want a clip of Hannity talking allllll about Marie Yovanovitch and even pronouncing her name? Mediaite gotchu.

On last night's show, Hannity angrily huffed that George Kent is gonna owe him a 'POLOGY, that's right you bet, SAY YOU'RE SORRY, GEORGE.

So that is the story of what Sean Hannity is bitching about right now.

Hannity kindly requests that you please deflect your attention from the actual story of Trump's impeachable crimes, and instead huff paint off John Solomon's humid grundle while Hannity tells you the REAL story of JOE BIDEN, which SEAN HANNITY likes to TALK ABOUT on his JOURNALISM TALK SHOW OF JOURNALISM:

OK, sport. Why u so skeered?

At press time, Sean Hannity was (allegedly!) doing SO MANY REPS in the gym out of RAGE because everybody's LYING ABOUT HIM because Sean Hannity WORKS OUT like a common NOT-A-PANSY so that's how he deals with his RAGE!
