Jan. 6 Committee Releases ‘Explosive’ Texts From Sean Hannity

The Jan. 6 committee released private text messages sent from Fox News host Sean Hannity to Mark Meadows and others in the days before and during the insurrection. “The idea that Sean Hannity was truly appropriately worried about what Trump would do should scare all of us,” says Chris Hayes.

Tucker worked so hard for this attention; now look, Hannity stole his spotlight.

[jamescox]

Could u guys imagine the outrage from the GOP if Obama or Biden did what Trump did up too, on and after January 6th! Remember, the GOP blew a head gasket when Obama wore a tan suit!

[captaind]

Does anyone reading this remember, or are old enough to know about Nixon and "Watergate"? I was a kid, then. THIS is BIGGER than that!!!!

[dcDOC]

I no longer wanna hear subpoena, testify, or deposition. I wanna hear convicted, guilty, jail sentences!!!!

The scale of Sean Vannity's integration and intimacy with the trump administration is jaw-dropping. But there again, the jaw of anyone with any humanity has not left the floor for the past five years.

I like how Mark Meadows is getting all hot and bothered about the Committees reading of his private text messages. This is sweet. A traitor to his country wrapping himself in his supposed rights.

[dannmarceau]

Is this the same Sean Hannity that wanted Hillary's e-mails?

[michaelcaddy]

I like how Sean Hannity quickly went to playing the victim (over privacy rights). That is a standard go to for the GOP, even when they are on the attack they try to play victim.

[Techie-time]

Hiding crookedness thru privacy laws and then claiming to be a victim when someone exposes you, this behavior just shows that not only you are a crooked you are not a man enough to be called a

[nonyabizness.original]

awww, hannity thinks that texts sent to government officials are "private". ain't that just the cutest thing?

[caelib]

Somebody should tell Hannity that when he sends text messages to a public official, it's no longer private information.

[FlipsMG]

Things like this where someone gets exposed as so two-faced and as someone who is actively collaborating in lying to push agendas at absolutely any cost are shocking. I cannot imagine being a human and doing these things or acting in these ways. There's just zero moral compass and nothing but selfishness fueling these people and they don't have any kind of limit to what they are willing to do to get what they want. It's scary, I honestly can't believe people like this are human.

Hey Sean, FYI, when you’re involved in a criminal investigation your right to privacy is null and void. Bonus advice Sean, If you lay down with Dogs you get up with Fleas and your infested

[ericbrant]

I think the Select Committee also has info that will show that Bill Barr’s departure had a lot to do with what Trump and company were planning for January 6th.

[JasonBoyce]

I’m still blown away by Mark Meadows releasing all this data but refusing to show up. He gave them EVERYTHING.

[Winterheart]

Never buying any products endorsing Sean Hannity...

[eatmorenachos]

Hannity then: "let's look at Hillary's emails!" ---- Hannity now: "How DARE someone look at my texts!"
Hannity then: "Trump must stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol." ---- Hannity now: "attack? Insurrection? Never happened!"

[ChibiLovesDragon]

It's disturbing to discover a talk show host felt he had the power to direct the actions of the president. That sort of longing for power and control doesn't usually end well for the rest of us.

[ileanafigueroa]

Such embarrassing and shameful for the United States.

[douglaidlaw]

The most important lesson to be learnd from this whole exercise is that half of Americans are fed up with what the USA calls democracy. A think tank at the Economist wasn't sure that the USA could be called a democracy at all!!
