HANNITY: "This is not me telling people what to do."

AVLON: "But this show is an irony free zone and here’s part of how Hannity kicked it all off."
[clip starts]
HANNITY: "If you haven’t read the Mueller report that makes you even more pathetic and I’m sure there are some of you out there. ... I’m going to try and assist for the American public’s sake because lies conspiracy theories and a hoax have led most of the media coverage."

AVLON: "And again, then of course proceeded to focus on lies and conspiracy theories. Obligingly, here was former Intel Chair Devin Nunes."

NUNES: "There is collusion in plain sight, collusion between Russia and the Democratic Party."

AVLON: "That was the opening statement and it got worse from there. So here’s one of Hannity suggested questions."
[clip starts]
HANNITY: "Is it fair to say, Mr. Mueller, that you’re friends with Jim Comey?"
[clip ends]
AVLON: "And just like a ventriloquist with the dummy on his knee here’s Louie Gohmert of Texas."
[clip starts]
GOHMERT: "You and James Comey had been good friends or were good friends for -- for many years, correct?"
[clip ends]
AVLON: "Now here’s a suggestion question about Mueller aide Andrew Weissman."
[clip starts]
HANNITY: "Were you aware that Weissman was a devout Democrat who was at Hillary Clinton’s victory party?"
[clip ends]
AVLON: "And here’s North Dakota Representative Kelly Armstrong."
[clip starts]
ARMSTRONG: "Andrew Weissman attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party. Did you know that?"
[clip ends]
AVLON: "Next up same guy different question."
[clip starts]
HANNITY: "Were you aware that Jeannie Rhee who worked for you -- well she worked for Hillary Clinton on the Clinton Foundation as her lawyer."
ARMSTRONG: "Are you aware that Miss Jeannie Rhee represented Hillary Clinton in litigation regarding personal emails originating from Clinton’s time as secretary of state?"
