Megyn Kelly definitely did not leave her conservative soul at the door when she left FoxNews. She is openly critical of the Kavanaugh Committee hearling.

During her Monday morning show, NBC anchor Megyn Kelly scolded NBC News Legal Analyst Daniel Goldman for suggesting that FBI agents investigating sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should wander around the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. to try to find a house that matched Christine Blasey Ford’s extremely vague description in her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.  

In the midst of a lengthy panel discussion about the Kavanaugh investigation, PBS In Principle host Amy Holmes pointed out: “I also want it to be clear, with the FBI investigation, this isn’t CSI
or Law & Order, they’re not gonna be going looking for forensic evidence. They’re talking to people, they’re interviewing them...” Goldman, a frequent MSNBC pundit and Trump administration critic, chimed in: “But that should not be the only thing there is.”

Goldman proclaimed: “When a victim comes forward, the victim is not responsible to provide the corroboration.” Kelly shot back: “Well, it would great if she could at least give a year and a month and a general location.” She then cited the career prosecutor who questioned Ford on behalf of Republicans during the hearing:
But if you look at Rachel Mitchell, who was the prosecutor that the Republicans asked to do some of the questioning. She submitted a memo saying, first of all, “Not only would I never bring this case as a prosecutor, it doesn’t even come close to satisfying ‘beyond a reasonable doubt,’ it doesn’t even satisfy, ‘by the preponderance of the evidence’ standard.” Which means 51 percent more likely than 49 percent less likely. Which is the lowest bar in any case. She said it doesn’t even satisfy that  . . . .   Circling back to Goldman’s demands, Kelly declared: “And now, we want the FBI to spend this week going back and scouring the Maryland neighborhood and looking at people’s homes and figure out who renovated and when. What it used to look like...”
