Megyn Kelly didn't even have to say a word to issue a scathing takedown of Hillary Clinton's claims regarding her private email server. Instead, the Fox News anchor simply let the footage play on The Kelly File Tuesday night, resulting in a damning juxtaposition between what Clinton had to say about her email use while she was secretary of state and what FBI Director James Comey said was found over the course of the bureau's in-depth investigation.
In one particularly brutal comparison, a clip of Clinton saying she did not send or receive any classified email is played just before a clip of Comey saying 52 email chains were found to contain classified information "at the time they were sent or received." "She repeatedly told the American people a bunch of nonsense," Kelly said.
Despite the FBI's findings, Comey recommended Tuesday that no criminal charges be pressed against Clinton because evidence of "intentional misconduct" was not found.
