Exclusive — President Donald Trump: Paul Ryan Blocked Subpoenas of Democrats

President Donald Trump is not happy that former House Speaker Paul Ryan blocked subpoenas of people and entities Trump thinks the House GOP should have been investigating during the first two years of his administration.

Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive lengthy Oval Office interview that Ryan blocked issuance of subpoenas to people he thinks should have been investigated on the political left, and now that the Republicans no longer have the majority in the House, people Trump says Ryan protected may have gotten away with whatever they did that warranted investigation.

Trump said that House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and his predecessor and fellow conservative Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) wanted to be tougher with the left, but that Ryan would not let them.

“Paul Ryan wouldn’t give the right to have any subpoenas,” Trump told Breitbart News. “Okay? Now in all fairness, Meadows and Jordan and all these guys, they wanted to go tougher, but they weren’t allowed to by leadership.”

Trump’s comments came in a wider part of the conversation about how the left is more “vicious” than the right—and that the left in American politics plays “cuter and tougher.”

The President should issue an EO and make make Alcatraz a federal prison. Put everyone of these scumbags in there under the NDAA and then bring in some old school, CIA enhanced interrogation folks. I don’t think it’d take too long to get some answers.

has been collecting those cards for years and is just waiting for the right time to play each of those cards.

But just as he was about to play those cards, VICE raided them. Heard this same story all my life.

Told FR 6 months ago Ryan was involved in FISA.
At least 5 other GOP-e Senators were involved.
It was blocked to keep from “loosing the Senate”

The left is very good at being passive-aggressive. The politicians are the ones that play it sly, while the media is the attack dog. On the other hand, the GOP is typically passive, and almost always kowtowed by the media. It’s like the little dog getting the upper hand on the big dog. Shouldn’t happen, but it does all the time.

No surprise - we knew he would do such when he laid down his demands to “accept” the Speaker position...

Ryan is precisely the kind of person who should NEVER be anywhere near elected office, or ANY position in government for that matter. He is cut from similar cloth as Bill Clinton. Slimy, political, without loyalty or a moral compass (unless it involves ‘loyalty’ to a money source), well-coiffed, all about presentation - not substance, likely to do anything behind the scenes to promote himself.

“Paul Rino is on my list when TSHTF.”

Be careful not to get hit by friendly crossfire.

Every real patriot will dance a jig when Ryan’s head is on a pole.

A big part of the blame goes to the RINO Establishment Republicans who PUT Ryan there as Speaker.

Ryan is a complete RINO and traitor to the USA and The Rule of Law

Can’t the Senate investigate and issue subpoenas?

Kevin McCarthy needs to step down.

The current loser leader was appointed by loser Paul Ryan pulling this cowardly cr*p.

Like John Huber and IG Horowitz, they serve to protect the Guilty.

Swamp protects the Swamp, above all.

Isn’t that why the Dems have Fusion GPS? Do the Republicans have a business dedicated just to finding dirt on the Democrats?

Paul Ryan has always been part of the Deep State/Swamp....early on he said he would never help President Trump...he made it appear that he was helping the new President....Ryan is among the most scurrilous pretenders in modern history.
