A vocal bloc of House conservatives are fuming at Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) behind the scenes, after the lame-duck speaker publicly sided with Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) in the debate over the FBI’s tactics in its investigation into the Trump campaign.
Gowdy shot down allegations last week that the FBI improperly used a confidential informant to “spy” on the campaign, saying that the bureau “did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do.”
Ryan on Wednesday called Gowdy’s assessment “accurate,” dealing another blow to the claims dubbed “Spygate” by President Trump.
But Trump allies on Capitol Hill say that Gowdy, a former prosecutor, defended the FBI before reviewing key underlying documents — and they are furious that Ryan has backed him.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a freshman who has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of the FBI, blasted Ryan for the statement on Thursday, calling his support of the bureau “shameful.”
House Freedom Caucus co-founder Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) called Ryan’s decision “frustrating.”
“I don’t know how you can reach that conclusion based on the history of the FBI,” he told The Hill.

Ryan stated, “the fbi and deep state have significant details of my immoral misdeeds and so like Gowdy, I repeat what they tall me to say”.
Why don’t they get rid of him then
Ryan and Gowdy fail the one question test: If the FBI placed a spy to “protect Trump”...why didn’t they do the same with Hillary’s campaign, since weren’t THEY the ones being “hacked by Russia,” and would thus presumably need more “protection”?
PRyno has always been a #NeverTrumper.
His support for the HUGH Fed Spending Bill sinks his credibility as a Conservative.
He can’t be gone too soon.
““I don’t know how you can reach that conclusion based on the history of the FBI,” he told The Hill.”
Ryan is leaving and can now bring in the big bucks. He is showing his allegiance. He wants to get paid.
Gowdy has been blackmailed into compliance.
Ryan doesn’t even have that excuse, he has always been a corrupt Uniparty stooge
Alternative Title:
Ryan proves he is not a conservative.
Gowdy has been blackmailed into compliance.
Ryan doesn’t even have that excuse, he has always been a corrupt Uniparty stooge
His only other job than politics is driving a weinermobile. Someone has some dirt on him. Just ask Dennis Hastert.
He never was a conservative. Wondering where he’s getting all his big bucks from now.
Folks, this is just the CoC calling in chits on their paid-for politicians.
They are applying pressure on Trump to get their way with the Amnesty bill.
Count on it.
Did anyone honestly expect Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy to just Confess?? The “Gang of Eight” was involved in this Attempted Overthrow of the United States Government from the Beginning.
We used to call this TREASON!
paul ryan, trey gowdy, and jeff sessions, three musketeers were all in on the attempted coup.
They all want Trump to be just like them... there are enough of THEM... The establishment does not know how to do it any other way than how it’s been done for years.. they get the disease when they hit Washington DC.
What I tell my grandsons could be for adults also...
You are expected to do the right thing... so just know you will be considered different ... be a leader, not a follower of the crowd.
A follower shows weakness... leading takes courage and makes you a target... wear it with distinction.. make it work.
My bet is Paul Rino colluded in the Russia collusion hoax and will be facing hard time.
They are going back home... do they know there are people who hate what is going on in Washington DC? I hope they get quesetioned every time they go out in public.. they should know better and don’t! This stuff in the government and media has lit a fuse out in the country.. that bubble won’t follow them home.
Ryan and Gawdy will now ride out their terms with pleasant if not glowing media coverage.
All the while reserving the possibility of saying: “I’m shocked...schocked I tell you!”
They are content sitting in the cat-bird seat.
What narcissist, trust all politicians are, wouldn’t relish that?
Disgusting to us the little people how the insider Washington types like him will now go to big paydays with the same lobbyists’ employers they did favors for. Poor people go to Congress when elected and ALWAYS come back later filthy rich. How? Starting a business? NO.
