The stunned reactions to Comey's shocking announcement are coming in fast and furious, as moments ago, Donald Trump - during a live speech - made the opening salvo by saying "it's a rigged system, and she's protected."

Then, moments later, the official responses started flooding starting with House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has been notably on the fance regarding his support for Trump, and has failed to come to his support by naming him in recent public appearances, did just that, when in a statement said that "Regardless of this decision, the undisputed finding of the FBI's investigation is that Secretary Clinton put our nation's secrets at risk and in doing so compromised our national security. She simply believes she's above the law and always plays by her own rules. This is a pattern with the Clintons, and the American people should not have to endure four more years of their scandal and baggage. Fortunately, the American people have the opportunity to ensure Secretary Clinton never gets her hands on classified information again. Let's bring the Clinton era to an end by voting for Donald Trump on Tuesday."

Shortly thereafter, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus issued the following letter on the FBI's (latest) letter to Congress, saying that despite today's flipflop, "none of this changes the fact that the FBI continues to investigate the Clinton Foundation for corruption involving her tenure as secretary of state."
