Speaker Paul Ryan says Manafort, Gates indictment won't derail GOP agenda

House Speaker Paul Ryan says the indictment of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and aide Rick Gates won't derail the Republican tax overhaul and the rest of the GOP agenda.

"I really don't have anything to add other than nothing is going to derail what we're doing in Congress, because we're working on solving people's problems," Ryan said Monday in an interview with conservative radio talk show host Jerry Bader.

Manafort oversaw Donald Trump’s presidential campaign from late May until August 2016, when he was fired following concerns about his past lobbying work for pro-Russian Ukrainian businessmen. Many of the charges he faces in the indictment unsealed Monday relate to his activities before he joined the Trump campaign.

Monday's indictment marks the first criminal charges in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the campaign’s links to Russia.

After commenting briefly on the issue during his radio interview, the Janesville Republican quickly shifted to focus on his tax overhaul effort.

Ryan was asked about the indictment again Monday during a stop at Royal Basket Trucks in Darien.

Hey Ryan, you know that Nunes character from California, you know the one ass**** that has been trying to destroy and take down the intelligence committee on this TREASON unfolding before our very eyes, well guess what dipsh*t your in charge of your members, you have to give your members permission do what they are doing, and if that means creating a deflection to help obstruct and aid and abet in this BS, then you need to answer some questions.
So if you think your Right wing Ayn Rand agenda is to screw people like me on Medicare and Medicaid------------FU

Your agenda is to defend and protect the Constitution for foreign powers fist and fore most apparently your not up to the job.



I think Randy Byrce will protect me and my family
