He stands behind Trump, but says "obeying the law is a good thing," to protect himself and point to that in the future, when he's running for President.

Uh huh.

Ever notice how when right-wingers decide to throw out all precedent and rewrite the law to benefit a single RW person that such actions should not be taken as setting a precendent in the law?

Arpaio yesterday.

Bush v Gore in 2000.

Hopefully Mueller can take him down as well.

Introduce articles of impeachment. That'll be a break.

Ryan, Turtle Man, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are the only people standing between us and a full blown Fascist Corporate Dictatorship. I am sixty six years old and scared shitless.

Never seen a tighter cluster-fuck in my lifetime.

And anyone who doesn't, should. It hasn't been this bad since the early days of the civil rights movement, and I think it is going to get worse.

I was just writing earlier that all of these statements, and Twitter postings, and interviews with the media amount to nothing. At a certain point these so-called Representatives up the people need to put up or shut up and that moment is long past. They need to spend less time worrying about reelection in their base and more time exercising their Duty by honoring their oath of office.

These men claim to love the Constitution so much and yet they allow the orange menace to piss all over it everyday.

Since he won't do anything, he is a moral coward.

...he does agree. He's in a position of power and should be taking action, not issuing weak statements. A strong condemnation should be Ryan's first move, followed by action.

and I'm not betting that the chicken-s**t is going to make that first move!

...then in true milquetoast fashion issues a tepid response for his own political advantage.

So that they don't have to. They're all sitting with the thumbs up their ass waiting for Mueller. If he comes up with evidence and they have a scapegoat they can blame it on him when election time comes around and pretend they had no choice. They're all gutless

And his usual measured and cowardly statement.

he doesn't have the cojones to go on TV and say it himself, he has to have his spokesman say it for him, I guess he doesn't want people to see his knees shaking and his voice cracking.

It's all smoke and mirrors BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!

one of them will lift a finger to stop this asshole

He won't try that again.

Ryan is the most fortunate man in all of this:

Hes 3rd in line to the presidency

No matter what, unless the American people start to actually think things through and do the right thing in the midterms in kicking all these bums out, he could practically do whatever he wants.

Ryan could seriously singlehandedly kick Drumpf out alone by himself with the 25th amendment.

He should start wearing women's underwear on his face because he's the biggest pussy on this planet!

A main challenger to Trump ( or possibly Pence) in 2020.

Making moves already with major donors and oh so carefully (he thinks) statements to the press.

We are on to the "Googly-eyed Granny Starver" (aka Charles Pierce appellation) and we MUST make his deficiencies clearly understood by the electorate.

Better yet, dethrone him in 2018. But even that may not stop him with the BIG MONEY flowing his way.

and you impeach the traitor.

Until then, fuck you

...not listening to your lying face...get some ganas, coward!

Ryan is a representative of an openly racist party dedicated to, by and for racists.

His weaseling weak apologetics do nothing but make him look more odious than he already was.

to stay on the lee side of the Constitution.

I'm guessing Trump has not read it yet.

by saying a whole lot of nothing. He's always so careful to avoid confronting Trump directly, thereby guaranteeing his place in the top ten Trump enablers.
