Gateway Pundit has a way of overdramatizing things like this. I question how much of their article is factual.

Gateway Pundit and several other "conservative" news sites (one of them may have been Conservative Treehouse) permanently destroyed their credibility in late October 2016 when they began spreading ludicrous, unverified reports about pending arrests of Hillary Clinton and some of her senior aides.

It ran through FR that week like fire, despite my best attempts to point out the obvious flaw in the "source" of the story: It was some nitwit posting on Twitter who claimed he heard about it from an NYPD friend of his, and then all these seventh-rate news outlets began using each other as the "source" for their reports.

Gateway Pundit: "Sources in the NYPD says Clinton arrest is imminent!"

Half-Assed Media Outlet #2: "Gateway Pundit is reporting that Hillary Clinton will be arrested within days."

Half-Assed Media Outlet #3: "Gateway Pundit and [Half-Assed Media Outlet #2] are reporting that Hillary Clinton will be arrested within days."

Etc., etc.

It was beyond pathetic.

It is only as factual as the people GP refers to.

In this case, they referred to the Tweet of Maggie Haberman of the new York Times.
