Lawrence O'Donnell interviews former Congressman Asa Hutchinson and current NRA "Consultant" On his Task Force Report on how to reduce massacres at schools, presumable to submit to Congress as recommendations on Gun Control Legislation. The Report was commissioned by the NRA. The interview turned contentious when Lawrence asked Former Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.), director of the National Rifle Association-funded "National School Shield" Task Force how much money was being paid by the NRA for their work on this report. "I'm not going to provide a line item..." Answered Mr. Hutchinson. And why wouldn't you provide that answer Congressman? "Because is none of your business primarily" This was in regards to how much they were being paid to produce this report. Lawrence comes back to explain that in these type of reports where the results were for the people who paid for them, the credibility of the report rests in these issues. Mr. Hutchinson did not answer that question, or other ones. Lawrence continued asking direct questions. And that, dear MSM, is how you do conduct an interview. Thank you Mr. Lawrence O'Donnell. But at the very beginning of the interview, Mr. Hutchinson objected to Lawrence's "Introductory piece because it really misrepresented the background that led up to this Task Force and our findings"
