Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) argued when you consider the consequences of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information by using her own private email server, it amounted “treason” given who and what it jeopardized.

“Now we find out, and James Comey told me previously that it is very likely foreign adversary nations got into her private server,” McCaul said. “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.”
