Hannity tells probe witnesses to "delete your emails" and "acid wash your HDD". - Polidicks

http://www.businessinsider.com/sean-hannity-tells-mueller-investigation-witnesses-to-destroy-evidence-2018-6 Another brilliant idea, also what happened to "but the emails!" argument for Hillary.

Totally not suspicious as all, nope

What happened to the 'part of law and order' again? It feels like the FOX sphere and high ranking republicans get more criminal by the day.

Picking up the witness tampering baton that Paul Manafort dropped on his way to the courthouse tomorrow to explain what the fuck he was doing while under house arrest. And this is a reminder that Hannity was an unadvertised participant in the Trump transition team, so this is arguably indictable behaviour.

Deleting your files doesn't remove them. Recovering a lost file from years ago is as easy as opening a file, unless its corrupted or replaced. Go download recuvu right now and run it. You'll shit your pants at what you didn't think you know you had still. If some fucking chuckle-fuck like me can do it, the FBI will have less effort. You could acid wash them and then throw them into a toilet, they're still getting them.

eh, is this obstruction of justice since he's having daily calls with the person under investigation and is now calling for people to destroy evidence? Hannity mysteriously decided to start on as a client for a very terrible lawyer that trump so happened to be a long time client of, just after the election, and he's cleared on the WH switchboard to talk directly to the president, and as well as being trump's go to linebacker, he's calling for people to destroy evidence now, the evidence that apparently shouldn't exist if I listened to what hanity has to say

Hannity is saying "acid wash" as a replacement word for more technical data scrubbing techniques, like zeroing out and then writing random noise to the drive 30 times. Hillary is said to have "acid washed" her server to prevent forensic examination, and whether that's true or not Hannity's calling for witnesses in the Mueller probe to do the same thing. He may not know what he's talking about from a technical sense but he's still advocating destruction of evidence.

Sean Hannity tells witnesses in a criminal investigation in which he is a subject to ignore a federal subpoena, delete their emails, destroy their data, and smash their phones into "itty bitty pieces" before turning them in to the FBI. Hannity has just committed a felony on national television. Let's not follow the Trump example and refuse to take immediate action just because this crime was committed in plain view.

He claims this is mockery of Hillary destroying evidence, but saying something like this is still worth indicting, just like saying on the news “bullied kids out there, you should just go buy a gun, some ammo, and shoot up your nearest school”. That shit will get you investigated, or fired at the very least.

'Haha wouldn't it be ironic if we did the same thing as Hillary claimed to do haha? Just saying haha, for a friend haha." Law and order only applies if you're brown or black, otherwise it's unjust persecution.

I was slow by 1 minute 😢

Gotta give it to him, he's got bigger balls than most people. Just about everyone I know would be walking on eggshells if they were revealed to playing a game of Secret Lawyer and could be linked to an ongoing investigation.

Unsurprised that this little gnome had the balls to call baldly for the destruction of evidence in a federal investigation. Does he want to get imprisoned so badly?

On one hand, he does immediately afterwards say "how do you think that would work out, I'm certain the result would not be the same as Hillary's", so he's saying that it's a bad idea. But on the other hand, he goes into way too much detail and seems oddly happy saying "Hillary Rodham Clinton, this is equal justice under the law". So if this is a whistle for witnesses to do as such, he may sadly have plausible deniability. "I was saying it was a bad idea." Unless if they can get him on "don't tell witnesses detailed ways to destroy evidence, even jokingly".

Did Hannity just commit a felony? On live fucking TV? Yeaaaaah, I doubt the FBI is gonna buy such a shitty excuse. Hannity is (ostensibly) an adult so he should know he can't get away with that is what the FBI will do.

He has plausible deniability, but it's thin as hell. "Gee, it sure would be a shame if you were to delete everything on your phone, scramble all the data, take out your sim card and your harddrive, and smash everything to dust with a hammer before honoring the subpoena. But, then again, we all know Crooked Hillary did it, so..." In other words, "will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

It literally says, in the article, that it appears to have been sarcasm.

Dude, I don't know how you keep this up Hannity has been dishonest in his attacks, and has actively helped create a division in the United States as much, if not more than a significant swathe of the rest of the population. It's his hairbrained ideas that are on the TV every night. It's him with a direct and active relationship with the president. It's really hard to actually feel like you're calling for honesty here, and not just trying to minimize the damage to the general brand the right wing has constructed for itself in the last year.

I said he's an idiot and fraud in my post? Is general dislike of Hannity not enough for your religious ideals? Do I need to agree with every single attack, no matter how incorrect? The comment was a sarcastic jab at Hillary, not him giving advice to actually delete emails.

Hannity's playing stupid games and everyone's waiting for him to win his stupid prize. If this isn't enough, I'm sure he'll do something again and the pattern of conduct'll be established.

What do you mean by, "if this isn't enough for you?" I already think he's horrible. He's a terrible human being working as a propaganda machine for Trump. He's totally untrustworthy.

If only I'd written "if this isn't enough for you" then there'd be justification for taking my post personally. What I actually wrote was "if this isn't enough", after stating that everyone is waiting for Hannity to receive his "stupid prize" (indictment). You may be reading hostility into posts that are devoid of it.

So this is enough for you? Do you really want to set the precedent for sarcastic statements to be used against you because you just might have meant them?

If a leftist did anything remotely similar what would you be saying

Is Sean Hannity "news" or "entertainment"? If nothing else, it'll be a reason to firmly define it once and for all and hold him responsible for sticking to his lane. He dances across the line whenever it suits him and retreats back over when someone calls him out for journalistic dishonesty. If he's entertainment, great, he gets to make sarcastic jokes about destroying evidence because Hillary, but he doesn't get to call himself a journalist and lend his opinions undue weight anymore.

If Obama had Jake Tapper be a nightly phone call he took prior to bed every evening, and Jake Tapper snapped and said some shit like this, wouldn't that make him guilty? Why is it that Hannity gets a pass despite you calling him a fraud and other things, you're still willing to judge him as forgivingly as possible Sgman. That's why it's hard to believe you're being honest here You're giving him way more benefit of the doubt than he's earned.

The same thing? For example, there was that whole posing with a decapitated head of Trump that Kathy Griffin did. Some people on the right were furious, saying she's making deaths threats, etc. I didn't. It was clearly an artist expression, one that I didn't like, but still not to be taken literally. If you have evidence of me doing otherwise, then show it. If not, then stop with these vague accusations against my character. Those aren't the only two categories. Hannity is an opinion commentator. He presents his opinion on news, does interviews, cracks some jokes, etc. He's not a journalist, he's not a hard news source, and honestly I don't think even he would claim to be those.

Sean Hannity now claims to be a journalist. He should be judged .. He does.

Because the context makes it obviously an attack on Clinton, and not advice? Watch the video.

He’s a journalist telling a joke or he’s a journalist giving bad advice. If this is a joke, it’s poorly communicated, constructed, and ignores the reality that Clinton went through more rigourous trials and questioning periods than Hannity would ever admit. His joking about this is so inappropriate, poignant and bizarre that your interpretation isn’t enough.
