Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWill Ryan remove Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee ?
If he does not, is he simply playing a political game?
He is the Speaker of the House and he would have the authority to remove and to appoint a new Congressperson to take Nunes' place on the Committee.
Does Speaker Ryan want to get to the truth or just play politics with a very serious issue?
The ball is in Paul Ryan's court right now.

(38,445 posts)Ryan will do the political thing, rather than the correct thing. He is a liar like Trump. I remember reading once, I guess when he was running for VP that Ryan made up a story about running a marathon in 2 hours and 50 minutes..or close to that. With no training..just to impress someone. The runners tore into him. He later admitted that .."got caught on that one"....(or something like that)...He will lie and play the game..just cause he is a shithead who plays the game...Of course you are correct, Nunes needs to be replaced tomorrow. but..maybe I am wrong..we will find out soon.

(34,661 posts)as one Political Guru mentioned,this could very well be the end of the Republican Party for 4-5 decades after 2018.

(65,487 posts)GOP for decades, but somehow the Dems snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
True, we don't have the deep pocket donors or control of the media, but Dems do seem to bring pool noodles to nuclear wars, and they also insist on looking forward rather than backward and keeping their powder so dry that it looks like the Sahara Desert.

(34,661 posts)trouble big time,hunch says he takes Ryan out to save his butt. Here is something I find interesting. Does Ryan still have a special flight back to Madison each week? Or does he share a flight with Pocan.

(73,605 posts)Trump doesn't want Ryan to remove Nunes, but it is getting to where he will at least have to have Nunes recuse himself on this investigation.
