Trump Campaign Manager on False Report of Clinton Indictment: ‘The Damage Is Done’

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/11/conway-on-fox-clinton-indictment-story-the-damage-is-done.html

On Wednesday, Fox News’s Bret Baier reported that the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation would “likely” result in an indictment. The following day, NBC News, ABC News, and CNN all reported that this claim was false, while Baier backtracked from the word “indictment,” explaining that he’d spoken “inartfully.”

On Friday, Baier conceded that, when a journalist says the FBI is likely to bring an indictment against the family foundation of the Democratic nominee — and has no compelling evidence to back up that assertion — said journalist has done something worse than “inartful.”

“That just wasn’t inartful,” Baier told his viewers. “It was a mistake and for that I’m sorry.”

But by then, the story had already seeped deep into internet, aggregated by the Hill, RealClearPolitics, and countless conservative blogs.

“The damage is done to Hillary Clinton,” Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC’s Brian Williams on Friday.

The only thing better for them would have been for the story to have appeared yesterday, then there would be no time for the story to fade.

Got deleted. Apparently I offended someone by calling Conway a person that rides a broom and cooks little children in a cauldron. Fuck this vapid wretch. I hope she suffers a slow and painful end for all the lies she has spewed about a woman, HRC, who has worked for women and children her entire life. Truth be told Conway has been smearing the Clintons since the late 90's. Conwoman isn't fit to wash Hillary's underwear. Hock! Spit! Fuck you Kellyanne Conwench!
