On her Fox News show this afternoon, Megyn Kelly continued her innuendo campaign against the Obama Justice Department, promoting a discredited 11-day-old “accusation” by Republican activists that the DOJ isn't enforcing a law on military voting. Kelly introduced the topic by saying, “Well, two former DOJ attorneys now alleging that the Department of Justice is not enforcing the law that protects the voting rights of military men and women serving overseas. The DOJ denies that accusation, but Senator John Cornyn of Texas is demanding answers and is set to meet with officials from the Department of Justice about the matter this week.”

This is totally in character for Kelly. She was the No. 1 promoter of the phony “scandal” created by J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department attorney who left the DOJ to press his ridiculous allegation that race motivated the Obama administration to take it easy on New Black Panther Party members accused of intimidating white voters.

The accusation about military voting is being made by Adams and Eric Eversole, former DOJ attorney and adviser to the McCain campaign. They claim that the Justice Department is encouraging states to ask for a waiver of a rule that requires states to ship ballots to troops overseas at least 45 days before an election.

And that's it. That's the entirety of the evidence. Two GOP activists say that that's what the Justice Department is doing, so that's what Megyn Kelly says. (In fact, the Department of Defense must also approve waivers for delays in ballot delivery, not just the DOJ.)

What has happened in the intervening week and change to make this topic worthy of a segment on her show today? Not much. As Kelly noted, the DOJ responded to Cornyn in a letter with a flat denial and a request for a face-to-face meeting. That was a week ago.

It seemed that Kelly's primary motivation for keeping alive another DOJ non-scandal was an appearance on her show by actor Gary Sinise, whom she described as “an outspoken supporter of the troops”:
