Lawrence O’Donnell, host of MSNBC’s “The Last Word” program, recently decided to engage the world of politics on Twitter, an always entertaining marketplace of ideas, and there’s little doubt he probably later regretted that decision.

As most folks eventually do.

In a series of tweets, O’Donnell made his case for why he thinks Kavanaugh’s denial of the sexual assault charges against him are more unsure and doubtful than the rocky, almost non-existent case being laid out by Christine Blasey Ford, which led to him posing this gem of a question:

“Why isn’t Brett Kavanaugh demanding an FBI investigation? WHY?”

Well, folks on both the left and right answered his question, but it’s doubtful he enjoyed it.

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.

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.

I know you're a dishonest hack, but lying to Congress is also a crime.

Kavanaugh, Judge, and the other disputing witness have all sent official letters which risk that crime if they are lying.

Only person that has not made any legally-binding claims is Ford. https://t.co/vtdcBpjNKs

Lying to a Senate Committee is a crime.

Judge Kavanaugh wants to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Dr. Ford does not.

Get a hammer, you jackass. https://t.co/img5j8UTtL

If she is telling the truth, show up under oath, as her lawyer said she would. The Repubs were right and courteous to offer her that opportunity. And the Dems get to question Kavanaugh. If she doesn’t show, Kav is rightfully confirmed. If you don’t like it, blame DiFi.

Why isn’t Brett Kavanaugh demanding an FBI investigation?

WHY?

"I demand the FBI investigate me for a crime I never committed and over which they have no jurisdiction and of which they have never had a hint in six prior investigations!" You really are a peach, Larry. https://t.co/6HIeNZgfid

“I call on the FBI to investigate me.”

-literally no lawyer ever

The bottom line is this: Kavanaugh is willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee and offer up testimony refuting the charges against him. His accuser is not, as of now, willing to defend her allegations before this same committee.

Why?

Because if it turns out she’s lying, she’s in big, big trouble, because the testimony is under oath. If this really happened, why wouldn’t she want to tell her side of the story? It doesn’t make sense. At all.

No one in their right mind is going to demand law enforcement to investigate them. O’Donnell is, at best, an incompetent journalist, and at worst, completely brain dead.
