Megyn Kelly Insists That State Dept. ‘Stonewalling’ Fox News On Hillary (VIDEO)

Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Monday night said that the State Department is “stonewalling” Fox News’ requests for information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Fox submitted Freedom of Information Act Requests for two documents last week. “The Kelly File” requested Clinton’s OF-109 form, which would have given the State Department access to her classified materials.

“They are still stonewalling. They either don’t know whether she signed that OF-109 or they know and they won’t tell us,” Kelly said Monday night.

The Fox host insisted that it must be easy for the State Department to find the form.

“You can’t tell me they don’t know,” she said. “We’ve asked for two documents. Very simple. Yes or no? Do they exist?”

Kelly then played a clip of Democratic strategist James Carville suggesting on Sunday that Hillary Clinton didn’t want Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) “rifling through her emails.”

“The Kelly File” guest Judge Andrew Napolitano suggested that Carville’s comment calls into question Clinton’s claim that she used a personal email account for convenience.

“That reference to Louie Gohmert rifling through her emails is a reference to congressional oversight,” Napolitano said.

  1. Hey, Megan, guess what? Your peroxide won’t get you into heaven anymore.
    I really think it’s about time that Josh Earnest walks into the White House Press Room and tells the Fox contingent that they are banned from all press conferences, since they are not a news network. And if CNN and the others are offended by this, they can leave, too. They would probably defend Fox, the same way some of these “journalists” (I’m looking at you, Howard Fineman) defended that asshole Don Imus after his racist comments a few years back. If a Republican President banned a left-leaning network (HA! Like one exists!) for constantly lying about the President and his administration, there wouldn’t be a peep. Besides, banning Fox and telling all Democrats not to appear on the FoxNews Channel would drive the Teabaggers in Congress crazy, and you KNOW how much they fuck up things when they have to deal with more than one “outrage” at a time.

  2. No, dearie, the State Department isn’t stonewalling Fox News. You and Fox News are undermining America.

  3. It’s funny how it’s always FOX news against the world, isn’t it?

  4. Kelly does realize that she’s a celebrity bimbo not a journalist? Sometimes she must get things confused because nobody else on the Faux News network even tries to resemble a news person. Snap out of it, sweetheart. They only hired for your hairstyle and slits up the side of your skirt. You are suppose to act like Sarah Palin not Diane Sawyer.

  5. Religious persecution and white privilege, as well as the tax persecution?
