Ryan urges Clapper to block Clinton from classified briefings

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., wrote a letter Wednesday formally urging Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to deny presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton access to classified information.

“There is no legal requirement for you to provide Secretary Clinton with classified information, and it would send the wrong signal to all those charged with safeguarding our nation’s secrets if you choose to provide her access to this information despite the FBI’s findings,” Ryan wrote.

Ryan said in his letter that if Clapper decides to deny his request, he would like him to explain why he would grant Clinton access to classified information despite the FBI’s  findings that Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

“I firmly believe this is necessary to reassure the public that our nation’s secrets are secure,” he adds.

He said on “The Kelly File” he received weekly CIA briefings as Mitt Romney's running mate in 2012 and said Clinton should not be given such information "given how recklessly she handled this."

"She grossly was negligent, she mishandled classified information and now she wants to be commander-in-chief," Ryan said in the interview.

Lame!

Republicans are trying so hard to minimize their loss this Fall. Specifically Paul Ryan because her victory *could* be big enough to sweep both houses of congress.
