We found out that Sean Hannity is the secret third client of Michael Cohen's. While Hannity says he never paid him for his services, you have to wonder if his constant lies about Trump had anything to do with the relationship.

James Comey is telling his story. Comey has a LOT of problems. The argument could be made that he is the reason that Hillary Clinton lost the presidency in 2016. BUT, he's certainly more believable than Donald Trump. We break down his interview with ABC and what it means to the bigger picture. We're joined by Addy Baird from ThinkProgress, Jonathan Allen from NBC News and Ella Nilsen from Vox!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former FBI Director James Comey has a new book that details his interactions with Donald Trump. But what do we really learn? He admits that the only reason he put out the infamous "Comey letter" about Hillary Clinton was because he thought she was going to win the election anyway. He's not a hero and shouldn't be treated as such.

With more and more stories coming out about Trump wanting to fire Mueller, Rosenstein, etc., will Republicans act to protect them? Doesn't look like it.
