House Speaker Paul Ryan said Wednesday he agreed with South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy that the FBI did "exactly" what it was supposed to do in its handling of the investigation into Russian election meddling and possible connections to President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

Placing lures on the campaign staff is not acceptable. They are both trying to feather their nest for some future employment. Time they both stfu and go home.

This screams out ‘COMPROMISED’.

Both Gowdy and Ryan leaving Congress and now saying the FBI acted appropriately.

There is NO QUESTION these two have been coerced to do this.

It is obvious they were told to say these things OR ELSE.

Whoever is ordering them to do so wants as much political capital as possible from these two before they leave.

These idiots are either on the wrong side, or don't know how this game is played.

I guess it's going to come out that the FBI has put informants into the campaign of everyone who challenged and incumbent President since back in the sixties. Probably starting with McGovern.

Ryan and Gowdy both saying this is a sure sign that the appropriate Congress Critters committee members were informed of that fact, too, so they have to circle the wagons before the other shoe drops.

Like all bureaucrats, their highest priority is to protect their own fiefdom and expand its power. For Congress, that includes hiding or rationalizing away things done by people now long dead if what they did gave Congress some sort of leverage with the Executive Branch.

Brennan’s warning tweet from a few weeks ago was received crystal clear.

Ryan and Gowdy were probably told of possible Trump/Russia meddling and therefore counterintelligence operation as early as late 2015 by the FBI and DOJ and they did nothing and sat on it. This will probably come out and that’s why they are acting this way. Plus they have been compromised. The government knows of their ‘dead girl/live boy’ or vice versa situation

who the hell do you think Trump should go to to accomplish this? The Whole Damn bureaucracy is dirty as the back end of a sewage treatment plant! The only option left is DEFUND all these goddamned agencies and start over! I’m retired DOJ, and it pains me to say this, but the “deep state” is destroying our republic!

Ping.

Not even spies, be open about it and say here are your “monitors” to “protect” you from possible Russian interference.

The fingers of evil run deep and broad in this country. The once God gifted, greatest country ever has become the pits of Satan.

Intel Chair Richard Burr also sides with Gowdy over Trump’s “spygate” claims. “I think that Trey Gowdy’s description of the process was correct,” Burr said

Ryan’s first and only private sector job was as a driver for the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile. He had no money.

Then he was elected to Congress that pays $174,000 a year and now he’s worth $12 million.

Hello?

Well, it is Paul Ryan, after all. Everyone knew, when he replaced Boehner and gave the Democrats even more than Boehner did, he was swamp.

What should be clear to everyone, now, is that the Republican party establishment was and is in on and approved of all of these anti-American conspiracies.

The silver lining in all of this is that many we did not know were swamp have been outed and their cover is blown. They’ll simply move on to lobbying.

Trey Gowdy, is one of the most dubious in that he pretended to hold the swamp’s feet to the fire. At least, Freaky Flake, Liddle Bob Corker, Linda Graham, John McCain, Bubbles Rubio, Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, Burr, Portman, Heller, Cochran, Kennedy, Moran, Isaakson, Alexander, Thune Hatch, Lee, Roberts, Boozman, etc, didn’t hide their swampiness.

Gowdy was deliberately deceptive in placating those voters who had some faith left that the swamp wasn’t the majority. He should be hanged first, if it was up to me.

I wonder how Ryan would feel if the snoops where in his campaign?

What, you don't believe they were ALL OVER Romney 2012?

The pilot that died since Clinton Lynch plane meeting said Ryan was at that meeting. Don’t know how true, just a you tube.

How about a microscope into Gowdy and Ryan? Add Turtle Face to that list. Sewer gas is flowing.

The Swamp needs to be dug out and dredged.

Remember “Mr. Smith”.

The Taylor machine is busted or “we’re bigger than ever!”

The DS has to go “all in”. Their problem is POTUS is playing POTUS HOLD’EM in 3D.

MAGA!

This shows that instead of going out with a bang,
Gowdy and Ryan are going with a whimper.
