That means Nancy will be 2nd in line. Hadn’t thought about that before.

"Remember Rino Ryan was 2nd man out in line of siccession"

The old National Lampoon had a great story about this - the Sec. of Transportation under Nixon watched as Agnew left then Nixon left and had the national speed limit lowered to 55 then to 15 in order for more time to lapse so his evil plan could be hatched - he was something like 13th in line of succession. Funny stuff (at the time).

The dissemination of the dossier to the Republican leadership is something that needs to be explored in more detail. Some people here are jumping to the wrong conclusions. The GOP leadership, like the FISA court, would have tended to accept the dossier if it was presented by credible and credentialed people as a serious intelligence product. They would then have been appalled at the scandal that was staring them in the face and would have been preoccupied with damage control. This is a reasonable hypothesis about their actual pattern of behavior.

Suppose you were in the Republican leadership. Such a document was presented to you by a supposedly credible person. You would have to take it seriously. Donald Trump's own reputation is risqué, and he had a number of notoriously sketchy people in his campaign. (Really: is there anything you would put past Roger Stone? Or Paul Manafort? Would you have ironclad surety, based on your lifelong respect for their sterling characters, that they didn't cross any number of ethical lines?) You would seek to vet the information. You would quietly ask for a briefing by the FBI and perhaps other U.S. intelligence agencies. The very top people -- the Comey, Clopper, Brennan group -- would gravely confirm that the U.S. intelligence community viewed the matter as extremely serious. How would you react?

The Republican leadership should go through a "what did you know and when did you know it" series of questions. And they should be quizzed on every communication they had with Comey, Clopper, Brennan, etc. My guess is that the dossier was "sold" to official Washington every bit as assiduously and carefully as it was sold to the press.

“Paul Ryan’s office claims that Burks has never met Steele and did not receive documents directly from the former British spy.”

Once a weasel, always a weasel.

[HighSierra5]

President Pelosi. Now that’s the stuff of nightmares.

[pinkandgreenmom]

I agree with you - something is up with Ryan. Isn’t his wife and her family big time lefties and political lobbyists to boot?

[Liz]

I suspect Ryan is very deeply involved in the spying on President Trump and that is why he is “retiring”.
I think a lot of the other 40+ Rinos that didn’t stand for reelection are also in the same boat and know their
perfidy is going to be exposed.

N-i-c-e take.

Trump knows plenty----he's got the goods on these guys. He holds his cards close to his vest.

He will strike---and strike hard---when he sees an opening.

[CaptainK]

Maybe he got his copy from McCain.

[thinden]

That means Nancy will be 2nd in line. Hadn’t thought about that before.

[miss marmelstein]

Lou Dobbs is gonna make a meal of this.

[Taxman]

I hope and pray that you are correct!

The Republican leadership should go through a “what did you know and when did you know it” series of questions

Who would conduct this investigation? How do we know who is and isn’t corrupt? I have that sinking obama feeling in my stomach. My confidence that Donald Trump could drain the swamp has suddenly turned into a weak hope.

Again I need to ask: Isn’t there any honorable people in WDC who will stand up and reveal the “stink”?

[captmar-vell]

If you examine it in detail you will find he intentionally flipped the House,

Why did he do this? The only answer that makes any sense at all would be to stop any investigations into the Deep State committing treason and conspiracy against a lawfully elected President of the United States.

He was involved same as McCain with sedition,

Today would be a good day for the President to give America a Christmas Gift by De-Classifying and Releasing ALL FISA Docs, Email Chains,....

[Liz]

......examined in detail you will find Ryan intentionally flipped the House. Why?
The only answer that makes any sense, to stop any investigations into the Deep State's activities.........
committing treason and conspiracy against a lawfully elected President of the United States.......

Yes.

[GOPJ]

I have the feeling Paul Ryan would be easy to play for a fool... just puff up his ‘boy scout’ self image and he’ll fall for anything.

I mean the guy really believed we needed illegals to ‘pick the crops’ even AFTER there were 22 Million illegals in the country - half collecting welfare benefits...

Twenty two million and no one to pick the cherries? AND Paul Ryan fell for it. Democrats played him like a fish.
