Discussion: Ryan: House Ethics Committee Should Investigate Allegations Against Collins

Good old Ryan, walking the fine line between ire and moderation, looking in that cracked mirror of his, sure in the knowledge that he remedied another tragedy and attained another goal, avoiding both pissing boomerangs and poked bears.

True enough, but this is still better than I expected:

Ryan also said Collins would lose his House Energy and Commerce Committee seat until “this matter is settled.”

Ryan wields his mighty power! Use it or lose it.

Wow, that should be one hard-hitting investigation.

First the GOP Ethics Committee will have to buy some ethics, and install them.

What else could he say? This isn’t Ryan being a good guy. It’s Ryan doing what he best do to save face. Collins was busted heads up. No doubt about what he did and the illegality of it. Why investigate it at the Congressional level when the NY DA is going to take it where it needs to go. The guy will be convicted and booted from Congress. Ryan knows that hence his face saving words.

Yeah, not much else going on around town, might as well investigate the guy the FBI already arrested.

Oh sure -

Kock Birchers blowjob artist jumps on a batting practice fastball seeking to burnish his reputation as a ‘leader’.

Meanwhile, DNunes’ committee runs amok.

Nice try, asshole.

He is shocked, shocked to find out that insider trading has gone on during his watch.

But perhaps next time making a move before the arrest would be more credible.

This puts Collins in line for a important Cabinet position and a well done from Trump.

Shouldn’t the Speaker of the House show leadership and express himself/herself in other than milquetoast comments? Just sayin’.

Look at little Paul Ryan, pretending to be an actual Speaker of the House. Bless his heart. Now go the hell away.

Yo, Paulie, you fucking mendacious coward?

HE’S ALREADY BEEN ARRESTED. The “ethics” investigation ship done sailed.

Collins will be the next head of the SEC, because the SEC is clearly out of control…

Just lyin’ Ryan pretending to have a spine again. Why did he only announce this after it blew up in the media? GOPers are terribly, unconstitutionally negligent at oversight, as we all are now painfully aware.

So in order to address your charge they have agreed to have more hearings on BENGHAZI! and Fast and Furious…

Anybody else see the headline and initially assume that it must refer to some sort of “investigate the investigation” nonsense tasked with showing that the indictment against Collins is some sort of deep-state effort to take down a loyal Trumpkin?

A litle late for ethically compromised Ryan, the republican charlatan speaker.
