Paul Ryan should remove Devin Nunes from the House Intel Committee...otherwise...

[kentuck]

...we would have to assume that he agrees with Nunes' involvement in the investigation of Russian interference in our elections?

We can ascertain whether or not Paul Ryan agrees with getting to the bottom of this scandal or whether he agrees with Nunes and Trump?

Paul Ryan has the power to determine the direction of the House investigation.

[Siwsan]

1. Ryan will do what ever it takes to cover his own ass

It wouldn't surprise me if he is in one of the top layers of this scandal.

6. Indeed, remember his lame imitation of Michael Corleone when he told Kevin McCarthy

"Shhh Fredo, er I mean Kevin, we keep this stuff about people in our party taking Russian money to ourselves, no leaking, we're a family and you must never go against the family"

12. Ding, ding, ding

We have a winner!

[Achilleaze]

2. The USA or the KGOP

which will it be Mr. Ryan?

[gordianot]

5. At this point they have nothing to lose.

......and might as well go for broke "literally". Treason is a relatively new concept for America we are just now learning how to handle it, for the Russian assault and against.

[Scarsdale]

3. Ryan and McConnell

are up to their ears in this Russian "thing" Russian money flowed into their coffers, and the RNC.

4. That isn't going to happen. If anything results from this it will have to be coming from the

independent counsel, Mueller, or 2018.

Ryan actually has a challenger in 2018:

7. nunes is working with the white house.....trumps am tweet

11. I would agree that it is all coordinated amongst Trump, Nunes, and the House Leadership.

They are more interested in covering up the truth than they are about the survival of our democracy. It"s a sad and dreadful tale.

[spanone]

14. it's infuriating.....

[kentuck]

16. Remember the Alamo!

That seems to be the inherited spirit of the moment...

[Xipe Totec]

8. Paul Ryan makes decisions based purely on the political winds

[malaise]

9. They're all in this thing together

Remember that

[Lochloosa]

10. Do you think Nunes did this without Ryan's blessing?

It was most likely his idea.

[kentuck]

13. I would tend to agree with you.

Ryan is working with Trump, to get Nunes to lead the fight against "leaks" and "unmasking", rather than the fight to find out how the Russians interference affected our most recent elections?

Why do they feel they have to hide everything? Why do they choose Russia over America?

[Honeycombe8]

19. We know why they choose Russia. Trump IS in fact working for Russia. nt

[kentuck]

20. When they continue to hide and obfuscate...?

what else are we led to believe?

[ananda]

15. Shoulds and ethics don't mean a thing to Reeps like Paul Ryan.

Besides, he's complicit too.

[BlueJac]

17. Ryan has always been a chump....

nothing new here!

[Honeycombe8]

18. He didn't remove him before. Yes, Ryan is part of the Trump family & thinks it's funny...

that Trump is on Russia's payroll, per the released tape we heard from a group of them laughing about it.

[Nitram]

21. "Otherwise we would have to assume that he agrees with Nunes' involvement in the investigation...

of Russian interference..."

Such an assumption would be warranted by the facts. Ryan and his GOP thugs will do anything to get their vile agenda passed: destroy health care, make the wealthy wealthier, and keep the poor and powerless poor and powerless.

[kentuck]

22. +100

Yep!

[ProudLib72]

23. Democrats are obsolete in congress

This much is evident from Nunes not mentioning his requests to Democrats. Why would Ryan do anything just because we tell him to? This false scandal was seemingly resolved weeks ago when they said that Obama's people had acted within the law. Therefore, the only conclusion we can make is that tRump is putting the pressure on congress to aid and abet him by creating a distraction. You know damned well that Ryan is the one advising Nunes' every move.
