Appearing on MSNBCs 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. Foxs 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 doesnt actually appear to be much of an investigation, let alone one that will result in indictments.
There really isnt one, Williams answered Todd regarding the status of the investigation. Few want to call it an investigation. Thats 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 Clintons 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.
