Given that Hannity has claimed that it was just really estate advice, and the Trump's work in real estate, it could actually have been him consulting with Cohen how to get into the family's good graces via favorable deals.

Which, while not quite as embarrassing as a sex scandal, is in my opinion very possible.

So what's the conspiracy suggested by Sean Hannity's name coming up in this?  Everyone seems shocked, but I guess I'm missing something.

Which one do you want? There's the one about Soros and the deep state orchestrating the reveal, since the judge who ordered it performed Soros' wedding five years ago; there's also a bunch about Hannity either having had Cohen pay off one of his mistresses (presumably with the stage name Real Estate) or being financially rewarded by Trump for his favorable news coverage through transactions brokered by Cohen.

There's probably more conspiracies flying around over that than there are bats in a bat cave.

I assumed it was just that a vocal and vicious defender of Trump who has denied any links to Cohen in the past and savagely attacked the raid on Cohen’s files turning out to have been a client of Cohen all along, which suggests a big-ass conflict of interest.

Oh, did he actually deny links beforehand? :O

He didn't deny (until his name got revealed anyway), he never even mentioned any links beforehand.

Fun thing is, from what I've been noticing of chatter, it's possible (if perhaps unlikely) that hannity's reaction will itself void any attorney/client privilege that may have existed.

It certainly does sound like he's waiving any client-attorney privilege. He's not explictly saying he's waiving such privileges, but him straight out saying that he never retained or hired him definetly sounds like it'd fit the legal definition of waiving such privileges.

Good! No matter where you fall on the immigration issue the idea that anyone can be deported on a literal whim should make you uncomfortable.
