Well obviously. It's not as if we're a nation of laws.
The White House on Wednesday brushed aside House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) call to blockHillary Clinton from receiving classified intelligence briefings as punishment for the FBI’s probe into her use of a private email server while secretary of State.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said it’s a “longstanding tradition” for major party presidential nominees to receive such briefings — and indicated that practice is almost certain to continue.
“What the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [DNI] has indicated is that they expect those briefings to move forward after the party conventions,” Earnest said.
“And the expectation that the DNI has is that they'll provide the same information to both candidates,” he added. “We should leave those decisions in the hands of our intelligence professionals and not risk them being sullied by the political debate.”
Last I checked, the FBI Director just laid out a comprehensive case that Hillary Clinton abused classified information. And the FBi is far more apolitical than DNI. Earnest pretending that this is an apolitical decision is a silly charade. If nothing else, Comey conclusively showed that Hillary Clinton has abused classified information. And in reward, she will have the opportunity to continue to do so.
