Homeland Security Committee Chairman Takes Hillary Clinton's Scandal to Highest Level: 'It's Treason'

After the story broke last week that “at least five foreign intelligence agencies were able to hack into the Clinton email server,” Michael McCaul — chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee — stopped by “Fox & Friends” to give his assessment.

Bottom line: McCaul accused the Democrat presidential nominee of treason.

McCaul said he initially learned of the concern from FBI Director James Comey.

“Now we find out, and James Comey told me previously that it is very likely foreign adversary nations got into her private server. This is why you have security protocols to protect classified information.
She exposed it to our enemies and now, Steve, our adversaries have this very sensitive information that not only jeopardizes her and national security at home, but the men and women serving overseas.
This is, in my opinion quite frankly, it’s treason.”

McCaul said that Clinton would be subject to blackmail by hostile foreign countries.
