During the 2016 election, Ryan announced he was comfortable with Trump receiving top secret security briefings, but was not comfortable with Clinton receiving same.
So, Ryan can go to hell.

Oh really??? Must he ‘appreciate’??? WTF does that mean, dumbass?

Whoa RAyn, better watch out, themz might be fightin’ words.

Nah, just more mealy-mouthed bullshit.

I can’t wait to hear how Collins is “disappointed” with her special blend of “concerned”.

“There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here."

Not unlike the GOP, right Paulie?

If something happens to the President, and the Vice President, the Speaker of the House becomes President.

That’s not comforting.

And if the president actively obstructs “holding Russia accountable and putting an end to its vile attacks on democracy,” impeach, impeach, impeach.

“There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia”

True.

America has started more wars and killed thousands more people this century than Russia. Plus, we brought back torture and indefinite detentions. And we have “Kill Lists” now, only we use drones not nerve poisons, and we mostly kill brown people. And we don’t have democratic elections for our oligarchs, either. And we’re currently kidnapping babies from immigrant families and putting them cages.

So, yeah, no moral equivalence.

Donald must be so proud

Trump sides with Russia against FBI at Helsinki summit
US President Donald Trump has defended Russia over claims of interference in the 2016 presidential election.

After face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump contradicted US intelligence agencies and said there had been no reason for Russia to meddle in the vote.

They followed up with a long piece about Pres. Obama opening a youth project (run by his sister) in his fathers village in Kenya.

There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals.

Ryan is right if you are talking about the average American and Putin, but from Trump’s point of view there is absolutely no difference between his basic values and ideals and the basic values and ideals of any Russian oligarch.

(1) You have done nothing about it.
(2) Instead, you are pushing “Wrap it up.”
(3) Oh, and what about “No leaks! Alright? This is how we know we’re a real family here”?
(4) What the fuck are you talking about? Liar -> “the House Committee on Intelligence”
(5) Oh and I don’t think your convenient omission from “Russia interfered in our election” the IC finding “to help elect Fuckface” is a coincidence.

In summary: Fuck you.

But he still has Nunes in charge of the House Intelligence Committee - too busy investigating our Intelligence services to bother with criminal conspiracy.

He’s still trying to shakedown Rosenstein to illegally secure privileged information and allowing the Freedom Caucus to threaten Rosenstein with impeachment.
