FBI director Comey to get grilled by House Oversight panel tomorrow for letting Hillary off the hook – as Speaker Ryan calls to block Clinton's access to classified info

House Speaker Paul Ryan promises hearings on 'unanswered questions' about FBI's decision not to recommend prosecution of Hillary ClintonGOP Judiciary chairman Charles Grassley of Iowa to demand answers from agency Comey announced Tuesday the bureau wouldn't recommend prosecution despite uncovering 110 emails with classified information Clinton's security clearance questioned Comey said Clinton was 'extremely careless' with highly classified information

FBI director James Comey, who had Hillary Clinton's fate in his hands as the person who led the determination of whether to recommend prosecution, now will have to answer for his decision before Congress.

The House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing Thursday where Comey will testify, a GOP aide confirmed.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday night that, 'We're going to have hearings' into the matter.

'There are a lot of unanswered questions here ... that need to get answers,' he told Fox News' Megyn Kelly.

'He shredded the case she had been making all year long,' Ryan continued. 'I think we need to know more, quite frankly.'

Ryan, who as Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate in 2012 got classified briefings, said Clinton should have her access to classified information stripped because of her actions.

'Comey said short of prosecution some kind of administration action should occur bringing consequences. I think the DNI, the director of national intelligence, should block her access to classified information given how recklessly she handled this during the presidential campaign,' Ryan said.

'What bothers me about this is that the Clintons really are living above the law,' Ryan said. “This is one of the reasons why people are so dissatisfied, so upset about government. They think that people live by a different set of rules, and the Clintons, they take the candle on this one.

Congress is merely ceremonial...they won’t do jack and will use this “event” to provide themselves with a free lunch tray.

This has two purposes, to give Americans a show and to give Hillary talking points that she’s being persecuted by Republicans.

Unfortunately our Congress is the enemy within.

This testimony will be a good thing. More publicity for the good guys. The peddlers of cynicism and negativity here on FR will tell you it’s a show, the RINOs, etc. But it’s a good thing. Stir the pot vigorously! Anyone who wants to help stir should be given a go at it.

I remember a time when announcements like this actually meant something. I would be glued to the news for days watching the process. Now it is just a waste of time providing Trey Gowdy a couple more pretentious Youtube videos.

And the GOPe gallops to Hillary’s rescue. Another meaningless hearing that will only help the Rats message that this is all a Republican plot to persecute the anointed soon first female President.
