Paul Ryan: Intel Chief Should Block Hillary from Getting Classified Briefings

Paul Ryan said on Fox News tonight that Hillary Clinton should be prevented from getting classified intelligence briefings because of her email scandal.

See, typically, presidential candidates––after the conventions––start getting classified briefings so they know what they’ll need to deal with if they’re elected. Both Clinton and Donald Trump will be getting those classified intel briefings.

So Ryan told Megyn Kelly that the Director of National Intelligence should personally “block her access to classified information,” because, as Ryan argued, she has shown to have previously handled such intelligence “recklessly.”

He reacted to the email news earlier today by saying no prosecution sets a terrible precedent.
