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.

(2,395 posts)Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthys 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 were a real family here.
The remarks remained secret for nearly a year.
