Megyn Kelly: Blasey Ford's Testimony Planted ‘Seeds of Doubt' About Kavanaugh Accusation

[Free Beacon] Megyn Kelly, host of NBC's "Megyn Kelly Today" and a former defense attorney, on Thursday argued there are several key weaknesses of the sexual assault allegation against Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Kelly spoke directly after Ford’s testimony, in which she described an alleged attempted sexual assault by Kavanaugh, and addressed its impact on her credibility. "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd said Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell failed to "undermine her credibility," but Kelly said that wouldn’t have been the right line of argument for Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"I don't think they were trying to undermine, completely put a lie to the story, because that's not possible. It's her memory," Kelly told Todd.

Kavanaugh has denied the allegation. Ford says she does not remember where or when the gathering occurred during which she was assaulted, and none of the others she says were present have backed up her story.

Kelly still credited Ford for being "sincere" and bringing a "compelling" testimony.

"She's a compelling witness. She absolutely seemed sincere," Kelly added. "I don't think they're dumb enough to think the people at home are going to reject that testimony as completely false. What they were trying to do is plant little markers."

Kelly said those markers came at various points during Mitchell’s questioning.

#2 Megyn's attempt to be relevant. Sorry Megyn, the train of fools has moved on.

#3 I understand that Ford travels by airplane a lot. Then she used fear of flying as an excuse not to fly cross country to testify. She also mentioned in her testimony that driving was better than being cooped up in an airplane (or something to that) effect. That comment just rolled off her tongue like all the rest of her testimony. I also heard somewhere that she was in Baltimore when she said she didn't want to fly cross country, so she had to decline to agree to someone flying over to the West coast to interview her, my guess is probably because the explanation for the disconnect would be awkward.

Is any/all of this wrong? Right?
