Not like we didn’t know, who former ‘tea party’ speaker was

quote:

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.”

I truly regret voting for the Romney/Ryan ticket.

I seriously would love to watch Paul Ryan get mauled by a grizzly bear.

Seeing as he was Speaker of the House, he’s a worse NeverTrump cocksucker than McCain ever was.

His wife is a democrat lobbyist and it wouldn't shock me if she wore a pussy hat.

The funny thing about Paul Ryan is that I can’t name a single fricking conservative victory for him. He is the definition of an empty suit. He’ll be better served rolling up hus sleeves doing powerpoints as a lobbyist.

Trump is crazy, so maybe Paul Ryan did us all a favor.

But seriously, look at that quote objectively. Trump wanted to use the U.S. House of Representatives as his own personal hit squad. House investigation committees have been used for political purposes for years, but Trump wasn’t satisfied with just the Justice Department. He wanted all of government under his command. The House gets to select its own hits.

Sounds like another one of those “ I’m afraid it would set a precedent” moves.

How did that turn out?

That’s why his little retirement speech was so funny. Sitting there listing Trump’s accomplishments as if he had anything to do with them.

I've been duped by several politicians in my lifetime that I wanted to believe in what they had to say.

Paul Ryan takes the cake. What a disappointment, to say the least.

So what is the house doing now? After an investigation has been going on by teams of investigators?

And seriously? Trump is seen as using the DOJ as a political hit squad???

Do you morons ever read what you write? Can you think 2 seconds ahead or more than 10 behind??
