MSNBC Host Tweets out Hard-Hitting Question for Kavanaugh, Gets Hilarious Answers
Lawrence O’Donnell, host of MNSBC’s “The Last Word,” posted a series of tweets Wednesday laying out what he asserts are the reasons Brett Kavanaugh’s denials are more dubious than Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations, ultimately leading to his hard-hitting question: “Why isn’t Brett Kavanaugh demanding an FBI investigation? WHY?” O’Donnell got some answers from both the Left and the Right, but probably not the ones he was hoping to get from the latter.
In a rather entertaining series of posts and responses caught by Twitchy, O’Donnell laid out his logic for why he believes Ford’s unsubstantiated allegation over Kavanaugh’s unequivocal denial: “People who make up stories don’t ask the FBI to investigate those stories,” he wrote. He followed up that assertion with the following tweet:
Lying to the FBI is a crime.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford wants to talk to the FBI.
Brett Kavanaugh doesn’t want to talk to the FBI.
Kavanaugh’s friend & witness Mark Judge doesn’t want to talk to the FBI.
They all know lying to the FBI is a crime.

Among the flood of responses were those pointing out that Kavanaugh immediately agreed to testify under oath before Congress, which likewise has serious legal implications:
Lying to Congress is also a federal crime… https://t.co/T0JxNBJxcv

The same statute regarding false statements to the FBI applies to statements made to Congress.
Testify or call the vote.

Lying to a Senate Committee is a crime.
Judge Kavanaugh wants to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Dr. Ford does not.

Because he's smart enough to understand when the FBI says they're not going to investigate because it's not their jurisdiction that they mean exactly that? https://t.co/MicUmlQead

Because they fbi doesn’t investigate these things. That’s a start.

This is EXACTLY the type of thing the FBI investigates. They are responsible for the background investigations of all nominees.

Which they’ve already done and this never came up. Not once in the multiple backgrounds they’ve done. They’ve already said it’s not their jurisdiction and they aren’t going to investigate. Do you people not keep up with the news?
