Curious that Ryan wants Mueller

to be left alone to complete the investigation. Of course, if Twilter goes and Pence goes that would leave Ryan in charge wouldn't it? How hard do you think he'd have to be coaxed to give them both a shove off the cliff?

If Ryan really wanted Mueller to be left alone to complete the investigation, Ryan would see to it that legislation was passed to ensure the investigation would continue if Trump had Mueller fired. Ryan is actually praying that Mueller gets the ax. Then we'll hear from Ryan how he didn't agree with that but it was Trump's prerogative.

...he'd be calling for Mueller's removal along with the rest of the craven assholes.

But Ryan wants a political career after Trump.

He is one of the very few who could actually work to protect Mueller. He has not done so. His words are empty.

I suspect that the Repubs are hiding in wait for now, and if the Dems win the Repubs will accuse them of a "power grab" to make Pelosi President if impeachment is even hinted at.

They are nothing if not a bunch of devious fuckers.

said a word about Ryan and the infamous "all in the family" moment and the SuperPac money he collected from the Russians. He's probably thinking he's safe and maybe the unelected/unselected president.
