Ryan's request to block Clinton from intelligence briefings is denied

By Jim Sciutto and Theodore Schleifer, CNN

Updated 8:05 PM ET, Mon July 11, 2016

Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan's attempt to block Hillary Clinton from receiving intelligence briefings once she's formally nominated by Democrats -- given her use of a private email server -- has failed.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Ryan in a latter obtained Monday by CNN that he "does not intend to withhold briefings from any officially nominated, eligible candidate."

N O T H I N G.
And with Ryan's epic failure he tosses the ball to Chaffetz.
Chaffetz requests the case of perjury now be reopened.

Must Stop Hillary!
The Justice Dept will tell Chaffetz to put his dunce hat on & go sit next to Ryan.

He thought he was a mini-President! and mini-SCOTUS judge! Did he get votes from the whole country like Obama? or just one State with just 5.6 million population? Actually he's a Congressman from the 1st District in Wisconsin which has a population of 670,458. So he won less than 500,000 votes!

So a guy from a district with less than a million think he has as much power as a president to decide who gets security briefings!

In the meantime Pres. Obama got almost 70 million votes in 2008 and almost 66 million in 2012 from all over the USA!

Ryan! What a joke!
