Hillary Clinton’s Emails Are the GOP’s New Benghazi

SHANE HARRIS

Republicans are looking to deny security clearances to Hillary Clinton’s aides. It’s part of an emerging strategy to make her pay and pay for that private server.

The saga over Hillary Clinton’s emails that began with Benghazi just may be her new Benghazi.

A day after FBI Director James Comey announced he would not recommend pressing charges against Clinton or her aides for what he called their “extremely careless” handling of classified information, Republicans were gearing up a multi-pronged political assault that could keep the controversy thriving until the November elections, and possibly beyond.

In light of the FBI’s findings, a congressional staffer told The Daily Beast that the House Intelligence Committee is considering legislation that could block security clearances for people who have been found to have mishandled classified information in the past.

It’s not clear how many of Clinton’s aides still have their government security clearances, but such a measure could make it more difficult for them to be renewed, should they come back to serve in a Clinton administration.

Since they have been foaming at the mouth over the clintons since 1992.

They always overstretch and obviously haven't learned a thing. Eventually they take an issue that's not great for the Clintons and turn it against themselves.

They are doing it again!
