As I have said before, the few opportunities I have to come over here and write a bit often result in me shooting those fish too big for the barrel, the type of fish that breathe air. You know, the biggest.
Thus it is that pointing to Hannity’s latest rants can seem like worthless voyeurism at times. After all, the guy is bought and paid for, what else would he say?
Still, it is worth keeping an eye on this man, if for no other reason that we’ve heard from reliable sources he speaks to the “president” of the United States every evening, and has become the de facto “chief of staff,” undermining the actual staff.
That would be a good thing were it not for the fact that Hannity has a looser tether to “sane land” than the people in the White House staff.
Thus, it is probably worth listening in to what he says. The fate of the country could depend on it. That’s poo-flinging monkey insane, yet it just “is.”

Despite the fact that we have evidence in the public realm that Trump committed at least one felony while in office, Hannity believes that oversight into Trump is purely psychotic: From the Huffington Post.
“The hate-Trump agenda is now hitting literally psychotic levels of derangement,” he said on “Hannity” in a clip shared by Media Matters. “Look, their job was to be a public servant. But they have now made it their full-time stated mission and purpose to try and batter, bloody, bludgeon this president at all costs. To either impeach or try to make President Trump unelectable in 2020. The issue of serving you, we the people, doesn’t factor into a single part of their agenda, as to what they’re publicly announcing.”
Says the man who spent eight years attempting to find a “scandal” that would “stick” to a famously scandal-proof president, Barrack Obama. Obama’s immunity to scandal stemmed — in part — to his refusal do anything outside the bounds of the law. But, that never mattered.
“Uranium One,” “Fast ‘n Furious,” Benghazi, Benghazi! BENGHAZI!!!!, The IRS “scandal,” Handsy Hannity spent eight years uninterested in “serving you” the people, doing all he could to rid himself of the blaaa, the Democratic president.
But that was then.
Now we have a Republican president, and Republicans are the only people who legitimately should “rule” this nation. Investigating Republicans goes against all in which they believe.
****
I have to believe that Hannity is either on the Russian payroll or at the Russian’s mercy because they have other Kompromat over Hannity.
After all, if you are Vladimir Putin, and you have successfully purchased a United States president, are you going to leave all media coverage to chance?
Pffft.
You know that Putin considers ownership of “good news” reporting every bit a part of “ruling” as murder. There is no possible way that Putin has not “secured” favorable coverage of Trump, and no one is more “favorable,” than Sean Hannity.
****
Hannity is calling the “attention,” McCarthyism.
“We the people will now be subject to what will be the biggest, most gruesome display of modern-day McCarthyism, which is just the widest fishing expedition, all in an effort to destroy the president and anybody who supports him,” the host said. “Because the bottom line is all they care about is getting their power back so they can institute socialism right here in this country.”
I guess it is too much to ask Sean to understand that McCarthyism is defined by going after people with bogus charges, leaving their careers destroyed, and their lives harassed.
“Bogus charges.”
Hannity’s real issue is that he knows that Trump cannot withstand sunshine. After all, it wouldn’t be necessary to subpoena this stuff if Trump — like every other modern American president — had made his taxes and financial statements open to the public, and then divested himself completely from any personal business. Had Trump done that, there would be much much less to “Look into” because we wouldn’t have to worry that Trump will benefit financially by “looking the other way” when MBS murders a journalist, or Putin tells Trump to lift sanctions on his friends.
The reason this “fishing expedition” is such a problem is that Nadler is “fishing” in waters infested with huge, hungry, fish.
Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm, lest a critical peanut issue cross the president’s desk. There wasn’t a goldfish in Carter’s barrel. Hannity knows that this “psychosis” is nothing more than level-headed oversight into the nation’s highest ranking criminal.
****
If Hannity were simply some guy screaming this out over the airwaves it really wouldn’t be an issue.
The problem is — god put me down, I’ll never understand it at all — many people actually take this man seriously, and believe what Hannity believes.
There is a frightening number of people in this country that could not give fewer fcks how many laws Trump has broken. They figure that so long as one is breaking laws to break the Democrats, that’s a good use of criminal action.
It makes “Investigating” this president, and eventually likely moving to remove him a bit dangerous. Hard as it is to believe, Trump’s approval is near an all-time high, and it’s tough to say it has nothing to do with the fact that he’s being investigated for real, for the first time.
****
But, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done.
It doesn’t mean that if further law-breaking is found, we shouldn’t do something big about it, immediately.
It doesn’t mean we don’t have an obligation to publicly support this, even talk it up in situations that might otherwise be uncomfortable speaking about politics.
Just mention “sunshine,” and “corruption,” and that if Trump’s clean, he’ll be able to show it.
****
For perhaps the first time ever, Trump is going to be forced to face the consequences of his actions.
His desperation will lead to behavior and actions that will make the CPAC speech look like the Gettysburg Address.
Be ready.
All that is at stake is our ability to govern ourselves, and whether any man is above the law. In other words, about the biggest fish in the barrel.
Be ready to nail it.
