Fox News pundit Sean Hannity—who has been a regular champion of President Donald Trump—urged folks on his radio show on Wednesday who may know of crimes not to talk to the
FBI. Hannity made the comments amid the ongoing investigation from special counsel Robert Mueller. Like Trump, the Fox host has been openly critical of the ongoing probe.
"If you're like me, and you were—grew up to revere an FBI agent, and the FBI comes to your house, and maybe some crime took place in the neighborhood, and maybe you have a little
bit of information, but you don't quite fully recall everything, but you're pretty sure you do—the advice I have to give you now is: 'Don't talk to the FBI,'" Hannity said, via a clip posted by
the liberal group Media Matters for America. "How awful is that?
"Because we want to help our FBI, because we want to help them solve crimes. We’re good people. We play by the rules. We obey the laws in the country. We pay our taxes. ... We want
to get the people that are doing bad things because there are enough of them."
Later, Hannity connected his point back to the Mueller probe and former Trump associates who've pleaded guilty and cooperated with the investigation.
"That's all that they want to fixate on, which is all redacted, and it's all speculation, and I don't think anything of what we're hearing is true, because it just—none of it makes sense, but
they get to jump the gun, because they want this all to—they want everybody to believe Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians," Hannity added.
The Washington Post's Philip Bump pointed out in an analysis piece Thursday that, about a decade ago, Hannity publicly pushed for more "snitching" to authorities after rapper
Cam'ron said he didn't believe in talking to the police in a 60 Minutes interview. The Fox host's view has clearly changed in the intervening years.
He's not wrong.
Never speak to the law if you're suspected of something.
True but he's clearly stating it in the context of the Mueller probe. He's saying the FBI are bad now so don't talk to them.
Sean "snitches get stitches" Hannity.
This is the full example Hannity gave
"If you're like me, and you were—grew up to revere an FBI agent, and the FBI comes to your house, and maybe some crime took place in the neighborhood, and maybe you have a little bit of information, but you don't quite fully recall everything, but you're pretty sure you do—the advice I have to give you now is: 'Don't talk to the FBI,'" Hannity said, via a clip posted by the liberal group Media Matters for America. "How awful is that?
It's not saying to not talk to the cops if you are suspected, it's saying don't talk to the FBI if you suspect someone else of doing something wrong, in the context of the Mueller probe.
The republicans are literally trying to completely throw into question THE law enforcement agency of the nation to help cover up crimes because they either dont want them to be true or they are involved in criminal activity. Not to speak of the reprocussions of this down the road if they succeeded but imagine a governemnt as big as the us with no legal oversite federally, and half its citizens are brainwashed into thinking this is the best course of action when the admin starts abusing its powers. It makes me sick to think about
