Speaker Ryan Demands Hillary Lose Access To Classified Briefings
In a statement published after the FBI announced Friday that it was reopening its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Paul Ryan demanded that the Democrat presidential nominee’s access to classified briefings be revoked.
“Yet again, Hillary Clinton has nobody but herself to blame,” he wrote. “She was entrusted with some of our nation’s most important secrets, and she betrayed that trust by carelessly mishandling highly classified information.”
“This decision, long overdue, is the result of her reckless use of a private email server, and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators,” his statement continued. “I renew my call for the Director of National Intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for Secretary Clinton until this matter is fully resolved.”
Who would possibly disagree with that?
Certainly not House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who released his own statement slamming Clinton for “her fundamental lack of judgment and disregard for protecting and handling of our nation’s highly classified secrets.”

“I call upon the FBI to conduct this investigation expeditiously, and thoroughly brief the American people of its findings in a completely transparent manner,” he added.
The jig was up for Clinton, and the only Americans still in denial were La La Land liberals, who reportedly responded to the FBI’s announcement by lashing out at Director James Comey, complaining that he had reopened the investigation for political purposes.
As reported by Townhall, everybody from hack columnist Paul Krugman to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi whined and sniveled all Friday afternoon, pitching endless fits about “partisan intervention” and blah, blah, blah.
For a guy who has been so wishy-washy regarding GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, Speaker Ryan could have easily joined in the hoopla — but instead he made the right decision this time.
