Paul Ryan: House GOP to probe Bowe Bergdahl deal
Source: Politico
ROANOKE, Va. Rep. Paul Ryan pledged Friday night that House Republicans will investigate President Barack Obamas deal to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
At an after-dinner speech on the eve of Virginias GOP state convention, the former vice presidential nominee urged activists to unite behind Senate candidate Ed Gillespie as their best hope for advancing a conservative agenda.
For now, he said, the Senate is a graveyard of good ideas and Republicans must focus on aggressive oversight as their best bet to hold Obama accountable.
Im part of the IRS investigation, Ryan told about 600 people in a ballroom at the Hotel Roanoke. Weve got the Benghazi investigation, the Veterans Affairs investigation, and were going to do an investigation about this troop transfer with the Taliban. So weve got a lot on our plate.

And, soldiers and veterans forget about "never leave no soldier behind", by yours truly the GOP.

(843 posts)The Republicans are just burning money we do not in an attempt to score points before an election. It is beyond outrageous that a political party will spend money out of the Treasury to advance their ideology.
