House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) comments to her caucus about imprisoning President Trump were apparently too much for Fox News’ Sean Hannity, one of the most frequent enabler of Trump’s “Lock Her Up!” calls against Hillary Clinton.

During his opening monologue on Thursday evening, Hannity decried the “beyond despicable” comments from Pelosi, who reportedly told her party earlier this week that she wanted to pump the brakes on impeachment to make room for a more consequential move: a 2020 defeat and a possible indictment.

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi telling senior Democrats she would like to see Trump behind bars,” he said. “Based on no actual crime she wants to a political opponent locked up in prison? Um that happens in banana republics. Beyond despicable behavior.”

While Hannity may not have explicitly made calls for imprisoning Clinton, he fervently covered the investigation into her emails and has stood in support of Republican efforts to keep the Clinton probe alive.

So... Whatever became of the fact that Michael Cohen testified in Court that he only had "3 Clients for his Law practice"? 1. Donald Trump, 2. the rich Republucan donor who paid his pregnant Playboy mistress millions of dollars to have an Abortion, and 3. SEAN HANNITY.

What personal legal problems did Cohen The Fixer handle for Hannity? Any ideas?

It blows my fucking mind that there are people who watch and listen to this guy and aren't completely repulsed by everything about him. There are a lot of people who say, "Yeah, I watch Hannity and I enjoy it. I like him and i agree with what he says." Honestly, i can't wrap my mind around that. He is really going to say that it's not ok to say 'lock him up' now? Are you fucking kidding me? The boundless hypocrisy of these people turns my stomach.

In other words, just another conservative who can dish it out but can't take it.
