Bret Baier Retracts Clinton Foundation 'Indictment' Report, Apologizes
Yesterday Bret Baier took little tiny baby steps toward walking back an obviously false report about how an indictment was supposedly pending in the Clinton Foundation case.
At the same time, no one was walking back Brit Hume's claim that the FBI was ready to say at least five different foreign agencies had hacked Hillary Clinton's server. Both of these leaks broke on Wednesday night, were clearly from FBI sources, and both were reported exclusively on Fox News.
Apparently Baier came by his information by way of Brit Hume, who apparently picked up a hot tip from Rudy Giuliani, who apparently picked up a hot tip from the New York FBI office. Talk about a game of telephone.
So far today, Giuliani has admitted that the FBI leaked information to him which he planned to use against Hillary Clinton. And now, we have Bret Baier not only walking back his report, but retracting it entirely.
On the claim of a hack, Baier explained that he "was quoting from one source about his certainty that the server had been hacked by five foreign intelligence agencies."
