Paul Ryan Wants To Deny Clinton Classified Briefings During Campaign
Source: Talking Points Memo
House Speaker Paul Ryan wants to bar Hillary Clinton from receiving classified briefings on the campaign trail after the director of the FBI announced Tuesday that the former secretary of state and her staff had been "extremely careless" in handling classified information via her private e-mail server.
"The DNI Clapper should deny Hillary Clinton access to classified information during this campaign given how she so recklessly handled classified information," Ryan said at a press conference on the Hill with GOP House leadership. Ryan was referring to the classified briefings that candidates begin receiving after the conventions.
Ryan who was on the GOP ticket in 2012 himself said that there were still questions to be answered and that the House would continue to press further for information about why the FBI declined to recommend criminal charges against Clinton in the matter. The FBI director was invited to testify before the House Thursday.
Ryan said he was still looking to see if Congress could do anything to keep Clinton from classified information.

Nope. Her clearance would have to be revoked and she gets administrative and judicial reviews first. Congress has no control over it. It's an Executive decision.

(70,570 posts).... Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, and Karl Rove outed Val Plame and her CIA operation,
Brewster Jennings because her husband would not go along w/the lies about Iraq and
WMDs. We are talking about Russian mafia, gun runners, terrorists, and government
intel operations that when they found out about Val Plame and the CIA must have gotten
their "payback" to people who were working for and with Ms. Plame.
But please let's talk about HRC's email server.

What did Ryan think about the DELIBERATE erasing of millions of emails by Bush WH and their years of using the private server set up by the RNC?
Has ANY news reporter bothered to ASK Ryan why he wants a separate system of justice that targets ONLY Democrats?
BTW - Did you wish Republican SPEAKER Hastert well on his way to prison for serially raping young children, Republican SPEAKER Ryan?
