I'd like to see new House Intel Chair subpoena Ryan and ask why and how he KNEW of two politicians

who were paid by Putin...Trump and Rohrbacher. He's on tape saying this. People forget that Ryan said this and then swore his gop group to secrecy.

This seems germain to national security. Under Oath, Ryan should answer....When did Ryan learn that Putin paid Trump? And Rohrbacher? Who else knows this? Why would Putin pay Trump?

After Trump won the nomination, when did Ryan approach the FBI on his own and report what he knew? If he didn't, why not? John McCain took the Steele Dossier to the FBI...shouldn't Ryan have done something similar?

Why didn't Ryan remove Nunes from his intel cte chairmanship when Ryan learned that Nunes had completely politicized a once important, critical committee to the point where it was useless?

Mr Ryan...we suspect we know why Trump has been acting like an agent of a foreign adversary...why have YOU been covering for him and enabling his behavior instead of doing your job as a powerful congressman in protecting this country, the separation of powers, democracy, and the constitution?

There's something there....I bet Mueller knows the answers to these questions, but it's important for congress and the public to know as well.

I thought McCarthy not Ryan said Trump was paid by Putin. dem4decades Jan 2019 #1
You're correct. It was McCarthy, not Ryan. hedda_foil Jan 2019 #4
But Ryan was there and shut him up. Ryan knew, he should be questioned. dem4decades Jan 2019 #5

And he went along fully with treason.

What a proud patriot.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said.

Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthy’s comment. Then McCarthy quickly added: “Swear to God.”

Ryan instructed his Republican lieutenants to keep the conversation private, saying: “No leaks. .?.?. This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

The remarks remained secret for nearly a year.

They conspired to keep this information hidden.
