    The GOP meltdown over this is in full effect:

    "Ryan said Clinton should be barred from receiving classified briefings in the course of the campaign. He said he would be looking into whether Congress could take action to enact such a prohibition. And asked whether a special prosecutor should be appointed in the case, Ryan said he wouldn't "foreclose any option."

    Watching the reaction to this, it's almost like the five stages of grief.

    Denial: The GOP can't understand why she wasn't indicted. She's corrupt! She's sleazy! Blah, blah blah

    Anger: This may go on with the GOP for a very long time

    Bargaining: "Well, maybe the Democrats will nominate someone else ..."

    Depression: Wait until after the conventions for this.

    Acceptance: Eh, who are we kidding? They'll never accept this. Nine committees on emails, here we come.

    There was a time when I thought you were kind of bright. Now I see you're just another one of "those people" ...

    RickStain, ladies and gentlemen! Po-mo poseur non-pareil ...

    Inevitable. That's why politics is an off-limits subject in polite conversation and should be kept to places like this.

    Ah dear ... With the sad, world-weary sigh already. I was so hoping for some more of your ennui-cum-affect. What's the matter? My current place of employment not prestigious enough to draw out your A-game?

    I wonder how much time Hillary's people are spending preparing for other potential opponents?

    I'm not entirely clear on what you are looking for here, and I guess I'm sorry for not providing it?

    He's too smart for his own good. Jesus. What a douchebag.

    He's calling you "dear." He wants to know if you would.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.
