This whole Hannity thing has me completely confused. First, Hannity says he didn't retain Cohen as a lawyer. That would tell me there is no Client lawyer privilege. However, he asked the court to keep his name secret. Why? On what basis, he has no confidentiality agreement since there is no client lawyer relationship?

Also, Cohen only has 3 clients: President of the US, Head of Republican Party, and Hannity. That doesn't make sense that a fair and impartial journalist would be so closely (and secretly) connected with the two most influential Republicans. Can anyone explain this?

One more thing, according to Hannity he only asked Cohen some innocent questions about real estate. Why the request to keep that secret?

Finally, I know that Hannity would never intentionally deceive us or let his own little issues color his commentary, so why allow all of those liberals out there a chance to vilify him over perceived conflict of interest?
