It hasn’t been too long since Jimmy Kimmel called off his feud with Sean Hannity for the good of the nation. The Fox News host has taken offense to Kimmel’s jokes about Melania Trump and was trying to counter by dragging out the late-night host’s past segments on The Man Show. This didn’t really work, Kimmel put a stop to it, and Hannity invited him on his show for a “discussion” or something along those lines.
But now we know that Hannity is the mystery third client connected to Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen, something the Fox News host quickly went on defense about on Twitter, sparking some jokes, and forcing Kimmel to bring up the man on his show once again. And while he didn’t exactly drag Hannity through the mud the way he could, Kimmel was clearly enjoying himself.
He started by bringing up the other client in the matter aside from Donald Trump, Elliott Broidy, but quickly moved on to Hannity and his tweet about the matter after news broke:

It was this that inspired Kimmel to question why he didn’t hire Michael Cohen as his own personal lawyer according to Deadline:
“That sounds normal. He has a lawyer – he doesn’t pay. By the way, I’m thinking of hiring Michael Cohen as my lawyer,” Kimmel snarked. “He only has three clients and apparently, he works for free. He doesn’t take money from anyone.”
After this Kimmel questions how it is possible that Hannity never discussed a third party with Cohen when it takes a third party to have any sort of legal issue:
“What kind of legal advice doesn’t involve a third party? Unless Hannity is thinking of suing himself?”
Hannity likely has bigger trouble on his hands than Kimmel at this point. Then again, he might go on the warpath and dedicate another entire show to trying to discredit Jimmy Kimmel. We’ll have to wait and see.
If anything, Kimmel is right about the witch’s broom needing a few more inches. Somebody better get some duct tape and get to work.
