Paul Ryan asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to exclude Hillary Clinton from intelligence briefings.

In a letter to Ryan, Clapper wrote that “I do not intend to withhold briefings from any officially nominated, eligible candidate.”

That came after FBI Director James B. Comey testified last week that Clinton and top aides were “extremely careless” in handling classified information sent and received via her personal email server, but recommended that no criminal charges be filed.

In his request , Ryan said that Clinton’s conduct was enough of a reason to prevent her from getting the briefings that are normally given to major party presidential candidates.

      Monica Lewinsky hasn’t been heard from for awhile.

    He schooled little Eddie Munster on the law in the process…nothing like a smackdown to boot…

      you’d think they’d be tired of it and promise to play nice otherwise, they will stay in the corner only to come out for a spanking to be sent right back.

        it’s not like their closets aren’t stuffed full of skeletons and the ghosts of those lost to war.

        As long as Black Mash Stockings are involved with the spanking, they will be Happy.

          u mean mesh stockings, but mash does sound more fun.

    The rejection of Ryan brought to mind the opening sequence of “Get Smart” when the final pair of doors close on Maxwell Smart’s nose…..

    • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 11:07

      Good analogy .

    Hillary is probably the safest person to get intel at this point. I’m sure she’s minding her p’s and q’s regarding sensitive info at this point.

    • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 11:06

      Put Trump’s Briefings on a teleprompter. That way he will never read them.

    I thought I had really seen it all on the total disrespect of our first black President. Why do I get the feeling that that was only a warmup for the first woman POTUS?

      Racism will be replaced with misogyny.

      Every Year and Every Election Cycle it gets worse. It is a Explosion of Reality of where the Republican Party is going.

      • mistlesuede July 13th, 2016 at 13:06

        And just how sad a large portion of the population of our country actually is.

          Everyone is entitled to their opinion No Matter How Wrong it is in MY Opinion. :+)

            That is very magnanimous of you Original.
            I am not quite so.

  8. Mensa Member July 12th, 2016 at 23:59

    This is just shameless politics by the Ryan and the GOP.

    Clinton was Secretary of State, for crying out loud. And a Senator before that.

    She can be briefed. Sheesh.

    • granpa.usthai July 13th, 2016 at 00:13

      and a First Lady for 8 years!

      • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 11:01

        And a Grand Lady at that.

    • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 11:02

      You would have to study Joseph Goebbels to understand where the Republicans are coming up with this stuff.

  9. Mensa Member July 13th, 2016 at 00:01

    Who honestly thinks that motor-mouth Donald Trump will be able to keep a secret?

    • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 11:00

      No Problem with giving secrets to Trump. He only uses Fabricated Lies anyway.

      • Mensa Member July 13th, 2016 at 11:54

        Good point.

        He’s like a one-man three-lies-and-a-truth game.

        As president, he’ll blurt out national secrets for cheap applause but it will be buried in his usual idiotic nonsense.

        • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 12:13

          He is like Palin. She has no roof in her mouth. If it blows through her brain, it falls out of her mouth.

  10. granpa.usthai July 13th, 2016 at 00:06

    with today’s technology, they could just email POTUS2BHRC any critical intelligence briefings while she’s on the campaign trail. That way she could campaign AND be up to date so she could start work on day 1 – just like POTUS Obama did -to the GREAT benefit of our nation.

    • The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 10:59

      Remember the Republicans Fuss about Pres. Obama’s Blackberry ?

  11. labman57 July 13th, 2016 at 00:35

    Perhaps if House Republicans hold their breath and stamp their feet …

      While the rest of us hold our nose.

  12. bpollen July 13th, 2016 at 01:15

    Ryan found out who’s the REAL bitch…

  13. The Original Just Me July 13th, 2016 at 10:56

    Oh Well, Ryan got to Appease the Idiots anyway.

  14. spacegod July 13th, 2016 at 12:52

    Less information is best. That’s how the right rolls.
