Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Friday apologized on-air for reporting that there would “likely” be an FBI indictment against the Clinton Foundation for alleged pay-to-play schemes.
"That just wasn’t inartful, it was a mistake, and for that I’m sorry. I should have said they will continue to build their case,” Baier told host Jon Scott on Fox’s “Happening Now.”
"Indictment obviously is a very loaded word, Jon, especially in this atmosphere, and no one knows if there would or would not be an indictment no matter how strong investigators feel their evidence is," he added.
Baier said he stood by his sourcing on the ongoing active investigation into the Clinton Foundation but added that a prosecutor would have to take the case and make it to a grand jury before an indictment could take place.
“[We] are working to get sources with knowledge of the details on the record and on camera, hopefully today,” he said.
Baier’s story drew immediate pushback from supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and from other news networks, with NBC News, ABC News and CNN all reporting that his assertion was false.
Republican nominee Donald Trump on Thursday cited Baier’s report at a campaign rally in Florida, saying that “the FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's pay-for-play corruption during her tenure as secretary of State."

As has been the Trump game plan from the beginning...the truth has never been a consideration.
The primary plan was to throw out a plethora of lies against the wall, to see if they could get some of them to stick in voters minds.
And of course...it has worked.
Kellyanne Conway: Clinton indictment claims may be inaccurate, but ‘the damage is done’
Quote:
Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway admitted to MSNBC’s Brian Williams Thursday night that the Republican presidential candidate’s recent campaign-trail proclamation — that Hillary Clinton faces a “likely indictment” by the FBI — is based on inaccurate reporting. Still, she said, factual or not, “the damage is done to Hillary Clinton.”

History will show, that the real tragedy of this election is that there were so many ignorant people that hated the other candidate so much...that they didn't care what happened to their country.
