Giving him the heads up on the Rinos involved?

Rosenstein was spotted entering Ryan's office, and a spokesman for the speaker confirmed that Rosenstein and Wray had requested the meeting. Well then the visit wasnt unannounced, was it?

But that effort itself has divided Republicans, many of whom are allies of the FBI and are concerned that the escalation of a discrepancy over documents fanned by Trump allies in Congress and media could result in lasting damage to the perception of the agency as an independent arbiter of the law.Yeah, we can't let the truth out into the open, can we? Might finally get the rabble roused.

I guess begging for an extension on the subpoenas in person works in the swamp.

a document request issued over the summer with respect to the August 24 subpoenas
And he's floated the notion of issuing contempt resolutions against Rosenstein and Wray if they fail to comply.
What a F*ing joke. How long would Joe Six-pack be able to get away with this crap?
A worthless investigation, which may lead to recommendations, which might result in a Special Prosecutor to launch further worthless investigating resulting in recommendations which can't be enforced because the statute of limitations have run out.

Mr Speaker, do you really want us to release (in deep background) all of your secrets that are in the FBI files? Sure many are unsubstantiated but you are from Wisconsin, you must remember how that DA went wild on Scott Walker and his supporters in that “John Doe” case. Do you want a similar experience?

So did they try to arrest him for interfering in the coup?!
To: Salvavida
This means Nunes and Goodlatte have the votes for contempt and the swamp has to offer something to get Ryan to shake some of those votes off?

The FBI and Justice Dept. are so corrupt I wonder if they can be saved. I hope so.

Unannounced? Must not have wanted him to have any time to prepare or get Nunes and others in there to argue back.
Maybe they brought pictures of Ryan in bed with someone other than his wife?

There won’t be one, that’s what this meeting was about. Ryan will tamp Nunes down for a little longer, until after the OIG report is released.

I was going to speculate that the “unannounced” was BS as these two would definitely coordinate with the speaker for a meeting.
However, it was unannounced to the press.
It is nice to know that the FBI director is directly involved in document production to congress. So it is just not the holdover swamp creatures running interference.

But that effort itself has divided Republicans, many of whom are allies of the FBI and are concerned that the escalation of a discrepancy over documents fanned by Trump allies in Congress and media could result in lasting damage to the perception of the agency as an independent arbiter of the law.That boat has already sailed along with the simple-minded notion that the IRS is a honest collector of taxes. These swamp creatures are betting that their historical shine will stand to the tarnish that we now see. I am betting that it won't and that another decimation like unto the end of the J Edgar Hoover era is past due!

Blackmailing Ryan into squelching the Congressional investigation?

"...could result in lasting damage to the perception of the agency as an independent arbiter of the law."Uh, it's a little late for that, isn't it?
