In a statement, Ryan also said that he plans to continue an aggressive investigation into the emails, classified information, and Clinton servers, apparently even if she’s elected president.

The FBI released about 100 pages of documents, including one covering the Benghazi, Libya attack.
His just issued statement:
WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) today responded to new documents released under a Freedom of Information Act request related to the FBI investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server:
“These documents further demonstrate Secretary Clinton’s complete disregard for properly handling classified information. This is exactly why I called on DNI Clapper to deny her access to classified information. Moreover, a senior State Department official’s attempt to pressure the FBI to hide the extent of this mishandling bears all the signs of a cover-up. This is why our aggressive oversight work in the House is so important, and it will continue.”
