What on Earth can Megyn Kelly discuss that is actually secret? Has she secretly been a government agent, or something? "Not widely known/communicated," "off the record," and "secret" are not the same things.
There is nothing there that is incriminating towards Megyn Kelly.
My opening comments notwithstanding, what's "secret" in this matter, if anything, was Jones' taping the conversation without Kelly's awareness he was doing so. If there's something untoward about the conversation and how it transpired, it's Jones' behavior not Kelly's words.
I fully agree with the following that Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder wrote in their letter to "someone."
“By choosing to air his interview with Ms. Kelly — at all, let alone at prime time on Father’s Day — NBC has tendered its good name and considerable influence to provide Mr. Jones with something he has never enjoyed: legitimacy,"
The essence of that remark is among the most useful lessons that from my parents I learned as a kid; I practice to this day. It's something I've taught my own kids. The lesson: do not dignify fools and foolishness by responding to them or it. One can't always control the appearance of either in one's life, but one nearly always has control over whether gives merit to them/it by responding in substance. In this "social media era," one might rephrase the axiom as "do not feed the trolls." Why Kelly and NBC, custody matter notwithstanding, didn't let Jones, as he long has, languish in -- or revel in, depending on how one may view him -- the realm of his beloved conspiracy theories and their subscribers is beyond me.
