Once again, people! Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes (and ears)?!!
So, you’re going to give daily press updates on an extremely sensitive intelligence investigation? Desperate, stupid, or synergistically craptacular?
Ryan: accomplice to the cover-up.
So… If Sessions can’t remember the details of the conversations, how is he so certain that they never touched on the 2016 campaign…
Oh, this is going to be big.
Wait wait don’t tell me till we destroy the social safety net, cut taxes for the rich, drill baby drill, cook the planet, suppress more votes, and many more from my party of ideas!
Only after all those will we see evidence…
“Nothing to see here, move along.” It’s not going to work, Paulie. Keep shoveling. Again, an attempt to distract by claiming it was fine for Sessions to meet the Russian Ambassador; not the question! Why did he lie about it before a Senate committee??? Ryan thinks the public is as stupid as those who vote for him.
Here’s hoping that Ryan, too, gets sucked into the Trump vortex.
Yes. No evidence except for all the covering up of the “no evidence” that speaks volumes about the evidence that they are concealing.
Sherlock Holmes issue… Question is not whether the dog barked, but why did the dog not bark?
Edit: Also, did you notice how many times Ryan touched or brushed his nose during his Pinocchio display? Calling all non verbal conduct translators and lie detectors.
"We have been presented with no evidence that an American was colluding with the Russians to meddle in the elections.”
Ryan went on, under his breath, to remark “…and we won’t BE presented with any evidence if your fucksticks would just stop asking so many questions.”
When they do the movie version of this, Pinocchio is going to play all the parts.
This man does not seem to be perceived as a weasel that he actually is. I don’t get it. He’s so many things – a wimp, a hypocrite, an idiot, an incompetent asshole who has no leadership skill and just wants to make himself look like an intelligent policy wonk (which he isn’t).
I really don’t get it.
On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal, citing “people familiar with the matter,”
puncture wounds
reported that U.S. investigators had examined contacts Sessions had with Russian officials while he was advising President Donald Trump’s campaign.
“If he himself is the subject of an investigation, of course he would” recuse himself Ryan said, responding to a reporter. “But if he’s not, I don’t see any purpose or reason to doing this.”
“Hillary Clinton has nobody but herself to blame,” Ryan said in a statement Friday. “She was entrusted with some of our nation’s most important secrets, and she betrayed that trust by carelessly mishandling highly classified information. This decision, long overdue, is the result of her reckless use of a private email server, and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators.”
October, 2016
Ryan: "We have been presented with no evidence that an American was colluding with the Russians to meddle in the elections.”
The seven federal judges of the FISA Court beg to differ.
All of whom were appointed by the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.
(And only one of whom was nominated by a Democratic President.)
They issue surveillance warrants against foreign spies inside the United States.
And for some crazy reason, they saw evidence compelling enough to wiretap Trump’s campaign.
What’s going on w/ Ryan?
It’s not that I ever was a huge fan of his but I never saw him as slimey and corrupt as this.
I guess he’s in power now and power brings out the best or worst in people.
I found his waiting a week after the shooting in KS to make a statement to be shameful and lacking in leadership let alone empathy. And that was not a partisan issue…so I just don’t get it.
But his stalling and shifting tactics, cover up w/ anything having to do w/ the administration & Russia and anything else having to do w/ ethics and the WH, …whatever you want to call it…this is vile.
He is a little brown noser, but I want to know who he is working for? Definitely the Kochs, but is there any connection between them and Russia? what is Ryan’s loyalty to Russia?
The lack of moral leadership and courage from the Republicans aside from Graham and occasionally McCain is disheartening.
issa on Maher, going along after being scolded, and then backing away from his statements once back in DC…(no big surprise there actually)
But does anyone have any background on Ryan and his alliances aside from the Kochs and their cronies?
He’s Trump’s fellow triumvir, so he can’t escape what’s coming, even if he tried.
If only being willfully ignorant and deliberately smug was a crime.
Yeah, I do remember that, and I was actually thinking about that very comment when I typed “hypocrite” in the post just above.
I can’t stand this man pretending so hard to be clean, honorable and decent. He is NOT.
I see nothing…I see nothing…
Even Sgt. Schultz would be embarrassed by this craven display.
Ryan must be on anabolic steroids to have such a lack of gonads.
Ryan must be skipping the Intel briefings, no doubt admiring his raging woodie at the prospects of killing the New Deal…
