Appearing on MSNBC’s MTP Daily today, NBC News’ justice correspondent Pete Williams refuted much of the reporting from Wall Street Journal and Fox News regarding a likely indictment regarding an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Fox’s Bret Baier later backed off slightly, saying the indictment comment was “inartfully answered.”

Speaking to host Chuck Todd, Williams claimed that via his own law enforcement sources, there doesn’t actually appear to be much of an investigation, let alone one that will result in indictments.

“There really isn’t one,” Williams answered Todd regarding the status of the investigation. “Few want to call it an investigation. That’s a term of art in the FBI. There was an initial inquiry that was opened a couple months ago based largely on media reports and a book called Clinton Cash.”

Williams also addressed a Fox story that states the there was a 99% chance that five foreign intelligence entities breached Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Williams tossed cold water on that one as well, stating that there is “no such view” and that they “found no positive proof of successful hacks.”

[Thinkingabout]

1. FOX is wishing there will be an indictment so they tell their lies and their

Listeners fall for the story and then blame Comey when there isn't anything there. It is a sad day when they choose to lie, they don't have a viable nominee, it is on them.

2. Okay,sounds like Ruppert Murdoch is

priming the pump via is his ownership of several Media outlets. Release some bogus story via Daily Mail and repeat it as fact on Fake Noise latter to be fact in the Wall Street Journal,how freeking convenient. Of course Comcast/NBC/MSNBC as well as ABC run with it as Breaking News. Cover Your collective Asses baby.
