Ryan: Congress could strip Clinton of access to classified material
The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, July 6, 2016 | By Stephen Dinan

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Wednesday that Congress could step in and try to deny Hillary Clinton access to classified information during the presidential campaign, if the Obama administration doesn’t take that step itself.

Given that the FBI found Mrs. Clinton “careless” in handling top secret information, Mr. Ryan said Director of National Intelligence James Clapper should deny her the regular intelligence briefings a party’s presidential and vice presidential nominees get.

But he said if Mr. Clapper doesn’t do that, Congress could step in.

“We’re not going to forego any options,” he said — though he insisted the administration should do it “on its own.”

FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday that Mrs. Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless” with classified information, and may well have broken the law, though he doubted, based on precedent, that a prosecutor would try to make a criminal case against her.

Sure, would love to see it, but as was her indictment, highly doubtful.

Yeah, just like Paul Rino was going to use the reconciliation process to defund Obolacare if only we gave him the House and Senate.

It could but it won’t. And it won’t do anything about her blatant lies to Congress either.

But we won't because we don't want to do anything that might jeopardizing our chance at winning the WH in Nov. Never mind that we do not support the candidate the PEOPLE selected!!!!!!!!!!!!

The District needs to be destroyed and completed started over preferably in a fly over state, maybe TX.

It would be nice if Ryan did something about this through Congress but he has sold out to the uniparty. How I wish otherwise!!

Maybe the threat of being Cantorized will motivate him but I am not holding my breath for this.

Awwww, now isn’t that cute! Paul is teasing his pal Hillary, telling her what he ‘could’ do to her if she’s naughty, wink wink.

“Could?” They COULD have stopped Obama in his tracks, they COULD have stopped Obamacare, they COULD have stopped ANY discussion on Gun Control, the COULD have put the “sit in” Republicans in jail. “Could?” A word synonymous with Paul Ryan. (”Didn’t” and “Won’t are his real by-words!).

Yes, and you would be just the guy to do it wouldn’t you, you piece of crap.

What happens then? The US is vulnerable to sudden attack because the POTUS cannot access the proper defense codes? That would be Republican’s fault, of course.
