Ryan: Trump should let Mueller do his job
The Hill ^ | 06/13/17 | Scott Wong

Posted on 06/13/2017 6:57:21 AM PDT by McGruff

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday that President Trump should allow special counsel Robert Mueller to “do his job independently” and that Ryan would be “surprised” if the president fired Mueller — a step some Trump allies say is being considered.

"I'd be surprised if he did that," Ryan said in an interview on the “Hugh Hewitt Show.” "I think he should let Bob Mueller do his job, do his job independently, and do his job quickly, because I think that that's what he would want to have happen."

“I think we should let Bob Mueller do his work and get to the bottom of it, and get to the bottom of it quickly so that he can be vindicated, get to these things,” Ryan said. “Let's not forget what this is originally all about. Russia is up to no good. Russia is trying to meddle into our elections.”

Guess we know what side he is on.

What’s his “job” Mr Ryan, and who hired him?

For how long?

Who does he report to?

We need to remove Ryan as Speaker! Trump defeated the Clintons and the Bushes, but he can’t defeat Paul Ryan?

Paul Ryan is a Democrat. His wife is a huge liberal.

Ryan ought to shut up and do his own job, not the President’s.

The Republican Establishment is more dishonest than the Democrats. At least they say what they intend to do and then do it.

And we all know what his ‘job’ is: hang the Russian narrative around Trump’s neck like an albatross. The deep state is striking back at the man and his supporters who dared to stand up to them.

Because of the way a Speaker is elected, around 30 of the most liberal GOP House members can veto a GOP Speaker candidate, as can around 30 of the most conservative GOP House members. Any Republican Speaker is going to be a squish.

And Mueller is a demoncrat buttboy, comey’s friend, and part of the deep state. He has no use, as it was proven that there was no need for a investigation on russia after comey’s testimony.

get to the bottom of what, nothing? DEM ridiculousness and evil? and whom do you want vindicated mr Ryan?

Ryan knows not what he speaks of, since Ryan can’t seem to properly do his job.

I keep getting letters from the Republicans (RNC). Of course they want money. I refuse to donate to a group that is working against Trump and actually have a sticker I use saying to free my time.

Why would I give these slobs any money?

What Ryan is really saying:

“They promised me I’d be President once Mueller is through.”

This investigation is not really about Russia any longer. Ryan may be surprised if Trump fires the special counsel but I am expecting it.

Exactly! Why do we need a “special counsel” to investigate Russian influence on U.S. Elections? The President was not a target of investigation under Comey’s FBI.
