Republicans Cry Foul at FBI's Decision on Clinton's Emails


Republicans wasted no time in criticizing the FBI's decision not to recommend criminal charges to the Justice Department after its investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails as Secretary of State.

"No one should be above the law. But based upon the director's own statement, it appears damage is being done to the rule of law," Ryan said. "Declining to prosecute Secretary Clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent. The findings of this investigation also make clear that Secretary Clinton misled the American people when she was confronted with her criminal actions."
