Will 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.

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.

Ryan is in this up to his eyeballs. When the info about his direction of Money and stolen e-mails being used against Dem Candidates ,he will be forced out. This is all about a cover up folks.

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

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.

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.

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.
