Fox News host Sean Hannity appeared on Wednesday to advise witnesses in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to destroy their personal phones before handing them over to prosecutors.
“If I advised them to follow Hillary Clinton’s lead, delete all your emails and then acid-wash your emails and hard drives on the phones, then take your phones and bash them with a hammer to little itsy bitsy pieces, use BleachBit, remove the sim cards and then take the pieces and hand them over to Robert Mueller,” Hannity said on air.
The conservative television host’s comments came after CNBC reported that Mueller’s team had asked witnesses in its probe to turn over their personal phones for examination of encrypted messaging apps, like WhatsApp, Dust and Signal.
The reported request followed a court filing from Mueller’s team accusing former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, of attempted witness tampering — in part by using encrypted messaging apps. Mueller asked the court on Monday to revoke or revise Manafort’s release conditions, including his bond and house arrest, in response to the court filing.

Hey remember when Assange DM'd Hannity asking him to reach out on an encrypted app?

I agree with Attorney Moss. Hannity is encouraging evidence tampering and obstruction.
Hannity has become such a Trump worshiper, he has lost all sense of reality and decency. He’s gone over to the dark side.
