Why? Why do you hate this nation so much, Mr. Ryan?

What a shitheap. Paging John Lewis, paging Elijah Cummings: Time to write a letter asking that classified information be withheld from Donald Trump, based on his declared admiration for Putin and proven inability to keep his yap shut.

Not only does this make Ryan look petty, I’m guessing he knows it makes him look petty but he just can’t help himself.

And does anyone really think Trump would be more responsible than Clinton with classified info? I’m guessing at some point during the next 4 months he’ll slip up during one of his stream of consciousness rants and use something classified as a talking point.

Trump: I love it. I am just shocked that I will get real intel. Wonder how much I will make from it.Millions or Billions? Putin will have to bid.

Your letter, as a member of Congress, means bupkus. Only a letter from the Chief Executive is binding on an agency that is part of the executive branch.

I’m also wondering if this is just grandstanding or if it’s something the House has any control over?

Not only petty, but it shows Ryan either doesn’t have a grasp on reality or that he just doesn’t give a fuck about how things are done, the rule of law, etc. He’s coming off as a real dumb-ass. Purely political spitefulness – not a good quality in a supposed “Speaker” of our House.

If Ryan’s point was trying to appear as a total fucking asshole, he succeeded.
He’s really not too good at this politics thingy, is he?

/interesting that the R’s were not that concerned when Issa knowingly released classified info in 2012 ?

Trump’s only real secret is the new phone number for his next Vhatzername.

I wonder if the intel community is laughing their asses off at his request as much as the rest of the world is or will be laughing their asses off as his request. Boehner must be rolling his eyes. Ryan could use a consult with Boehner.

My guess is that he’s doing it to appeal to the base. Which is stupid. This plays well amoung people who were already going to vote for Trump. To the undecideds it just looks both dumb and mean-spirited.

Under the terms of his request someone should ask Ryan how a President Clinton would fulfill the requirements of office.

This is beneath EVEN Paul Ryan, hard as that might be to imagine.
