âAnd, letâs be honest for a second: Iâm guilty just like he is. So is Mitch. We love us some filthy Russian lucre, you know? So heâd be helping us all out.â
Asked if it would amount to obstruction of justice for Trump to fire the attorney general over his frustration that Sessions had recused himself from the Russia probe, Ryan similarly demurred.âItâs up to the President to decide what his personnel decisions is [sic] and any possible thought that comes from that,â he said. âIf he has concerns about anyone in the administration, their conduct or their jobs, Iâm sure he is going to talk to them directly.â
Ryan = Cowardly Lion or Master Complicinator ?
Sessions is picking up tread marks across his back as Ryan et al take turns backing up and driving the truck that Trump through him under.
Paul Ryan, Gutless Wonder.
RAyn is only interested in screwing the little people out of their last dime and piece of bread so that the rich donât suffer.
Everything else, including the circus in the Oval Office, is unimportant.
SO basically heâs saying that he wont do shit if he does b/c he had an unpopular agenda to deliver before the 18â elections.
All they care about is their brand. They donât give a ratâs ass about what this is doing to the country as long as it helps their agenda. POTUS above the law? Big deal. We have tax cuts to pass and health care to take away from millions of people.
What do you know, and when did you know it, Paulie?
When itâs rhetorically useful to talk about the Department of Justice like itâs a division of a shoe company, not something that needs to be independent from the political passions of the executive branch if weâre going to avoid authoritarianism, well, then, thatâs how Paulie talks about it. Prez hires, he fires, no big. And thatâs how you lose your way of life. Greedy little insects like him.
So firing the AG because he wonât run interference and obstruct criminal investigations into Trump is no big deal for Ryan.
Party before oath of office or country.
Pathetic.
The sad part is, Sessions isnât being fired because of his inability to tell the truth on his security forms.
Heâs being fired for lack of loyalty to a man. Not for lack of loyalty to the country.
What did that oath say again???
@lestatdelc, you kinda beat me to itâŚ
Not party first, because it appears that he is participating in âpartycideâ - more like big donors and fattening up lucrative opportunities post politics for self, before oath of office or country.
Meh. Big deal. I hope this casual remark makes its way into every single ad against him next year. Maybe a split screen with Trey Gowdyâs forehead veins throbbing as he shrieks at Hillary Clinton during one of the Benghazi hearings. Thank god we have all of them on tape for when the shrieking starts again against the Democrats. Thatâs assuming we can vote in a future election.
the NeXT AttoRnEY GEneral WiLL take a VeRy STrOnG pOsiTIOn On hiLlaRY Clinton crimes (WherE are E-maIlS& dNc servER) & inteL LEAKERs!!!one1!!!
I am sure Ryan would have expressed the exact same sentiment if Clinton had fired Reno when she created an independent counsel. 
My general feeling about this presser was, Ryan is sooo sick and tired of fielding questions about Trump.
Suck it up, bucko! You signed on for that way back during the campaign.
Eddie!
You. Are. Such. A. Trump. Cuck.
#Sad.
Ryan has no opinion on anything. I donât think he actually does anything but masturbate on his first edition of âAtlas Shruggedâ - presumably one that was signed by the author while she was collecting Social Security.
Well, Chuck and Dave have bigger fish to fry.
Time to pony up, folksâŚ
Boehner had merlot and cigs. What does Ryan have that makes him such a weakling. No backbone. Sad.
