MSNBC’s Chuck Todd highlighted FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before Congress which debunked several right-wing media myths about Clinton’s email, including the accusation that Romanian hacker “Guccifer” breached Hillary Clinton’s email server.

During the July 7 edition of MSNBC’s Meet the Press Daily, Todd reported on the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform’s hearing with Director Comey. Todd highlighted Comey’s “myth-busting” of several theories about Clinton’s private server, including a part of Comey’s testimony that debunked right-wing media reports that Guccifer gained access to Clinton's server, stating that the hacker “admitted that was a lie.”

On multiple occasions, Fox News’ Catherine Herridge and other right-wing media figures baselessly hyped Guccifer’s claim that he hacked Clinton's email server, despite the fact officials reported no evidence to support that claim.

CHUCK TODD: It's possible his words on Tuesday, if left alone, would have made for a stronger condemnation of Clinton's judgment. Instead Republicans put a spotlight on a series of what turned out to have Comey myth-busting various theories surrounding her private server that may have not been overturned.

Comey publicly shut down another myth that's been out there, the assertion from a hacker, who of course goes by the name of “Guccifer,” that he somehow gained access to Clinton's server while she was secretary of state.

BLAKE FARENTHOLD: Can you confirm that Guccifer never gained access to her server?
