Michelle Duggar Tells Megyn Kelly She Felt Like ‘Failure’ As In Touch Releases Second Police Report On Son Fondling Sisters

[…]

“They very much understand their show and reputation are on the line,” Kelly told Deadline of this interview. But, she said, the Duggars also believe the show “has a chance still. It’s not totally done.”

“I think they knew they needed to speak to somebody and get their story out,” Kelly added — their story being that the information about their son and daughters was “released without their consent.”

To that end, Kelly said she was particularly interested to learn more about the police chief who gave the redacted report to In Touch. “It’s a little suspicious how it went down,” Kelly said adding, “Very clearly she had no business releasing” the police report.

That comment was made in advance of In Touch’s new report. And, the mayor, Doug Sprouse, has been quoted saying Springdale Police Chief Kathy O’Kelly had consulted with Springdale’s city attorney when the publication set out to get the report via a Freedom of Information Act, concluding together that the police report had to be released in accordance with the law.

In other words, the Kelly interview is about keeping the Duggar brand viable, so the scam can keep their marks.

And Fox running after the police chief is very much a diversion tactic.
