Megyn Kelly has been nearly breathless with excitement over her “investigation” into whether or not Hillary Clinton may have committed a felony with regard to a separation form Kelly wrongly claimed Clinton was obligated to sign when she left the State Department.

Media Matters has the details:

Citing absolutely no independent legal authority, Kelly argued that “protocols” required Clinton to sign the document, only to quickly dismiss the fact that there is no evidence that Powell or Rice signed the form. She baselessly insinuated that Clinton destroyed documents to conceal perjury, claiming that the separation form “suddenly disappeared,” and argued that Clinton was “committing a felony” by keeping email on a private server, which Kelly claimed amounted to concealing federal records.

… Kelly’s fallacious legal opinion has been flatly rejected by actual legal experts who have said that Clinton’s use of a private email while serving as secretary of state was perfectly legal, and by the undisputed fact that Clinton was under no deadline to turn over her private emails to the State Department.

… Kelly has been obsessed with the question of whether Clinton signed a separation form, discussing it every night on her show since March 11. Her specious accusations and wild conspiracy theories, delivered with the veneer of legal authority, underscore her unique positioning at Fox News.

What Media Matters means by Kelly’s “unique positioning” is her claim to be a “straight news anchor” and some high-profile media coverage making her out to be some kind of phenom bucking Fox’s GOP party line. The truth, as we’ve repeatedly noted, is that Kelly is just as much an agent of propaganda as anyone else on Fox. The only thing “unique” is her particular, disingenuous, way of going about it.

In this case, Kelly is clearly trying to disqualify Hillary Clinton from running for office. Or as I saw somewhere on social media, to pre-impeach her.
