Since Steele was ‘selling’ all of his ‘products’....what did these GOP guys pay for their copy? And where did the money come from to pay for the copy?
Knock it off with the all caps headlines OK?
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+ that didn’t stand for reelection were also the same boat and know that their perfidy is going to be exposed.
I bet the likes of Ryan and McCain thought the Dossier was gospel truth. They were hoping that it would take Trump down. Their minds had all kinds of lurid fantasies of Trump’s sexcapades. Trump would be JFK, Slick Willy and Zer0 all rolled into one. Washington DC’s red light underbelly would be no match for Trump, they thought. Experience told them so. The White House would become the Playboy Mansion with ropes that swung into the Lincoln Bed. They were hoping that Trump would have swung from the chandelier, slipped, and hit his head—never to recover.
At least the Dossier would put an early end to The Donald.
I can imagine their glee when they got their edition of the Dossier—as Republican insurgents.
There’s no such thing as a Steele dossier. That was a phony document. Either Ryan was used as a stooge or he was in on it.
Two top Russia aides on the National Security Council, Michael Daniel and Celeste Wallander, believed the U.S. needed to strike back forcefully, according to the new book ‘Russian Roulette,’ by Michael Isikoff and David Corn.

I told you guys it was obvious there was GOP involved and that is why nothing was happening.
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.
Lou Dobbs is gonna make a meal of this.
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,....
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.
