Related: About this forumHillary Clinton is unfit to handle classified information - By Paul Ryan
By Paul Ryan July 13 at 12:00 AM
Paul Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, is speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
On Monday, in response to a request I made last week, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said that he would not refrain from providing classified information to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton for the duration of the presidential campaign. Thats a dangerous call. Heres why he should reconsider:
One thing is clear from the FBIs investigation of Clinton: She recklessly mishandled classified information.
Clinton set up not one but multiple unauthorized servers from which she sent and received tens of thousands of sensitive government emails, including more than 100 that contained classified information at the time they were sent. These emails went completely unprotected.
The consequences for the safety of our nation are grave. Clintons actions may have allowed our enemies to access intelligence vital to our national security. The FBI found that hostile actors could very well have gained access to classified information sent and received by Clinton, her staff and their contacts. In fact, the FBI confirmed that hostile actors did indeed gain access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Clinton was in regular contact from her unauthorized account. According to FBI Director James B. Comey, a standard Gmail account would have been more secure than what she used.

(60,536 posts)the GOP. A Lot of us believe it is important to know the thinking of the GOP so we can be prepared to respond to their nonsense. Don't agree? Don't read it; that's why I put the by-line in the title, so folks can make up their own minds about reading it.

(9,986 posts)...unfit for office. By denying major presidential candidate Hillary Clinton access to classified briefings during the months prior to the election, he is putting the USA at risk. She needs to know what is going on in the world, and in a timely manner. Ryan should resign.

(2,897 posts)bigoted things in 2016. If that's not a sign of his willingness to do and say whatever it takes to put a republican in the white house, I don't know what is.
