Paul Ryan Defends FBI Spying On Trump, Rep. Gaetz Unleashes His Worst Nightmare

After House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) recently defended the FBI’s illegal spying on President Donald Trump during his campaign, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) dropped a nasty truth bomb on him you won’t want to miss.
According to Breitbart, Paul Ryan once again betrayed President Donald Trump on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, when he told reporters that he supports the FBI’s spying on the Trump campaign. Ryan said he believes the FBI acted appropriately when they used an informant to make contact with members of Trump’s campaign staff.
“I think Chairman Gowdy’s initial assessment is accurate,” Ryan said after his colleague Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), recently told Fox News that he sees no wrongdoing in the FBI’s use of an informant. “I have seen no evidence to the contrary of the initial assessment Chairman Gowdy has made,” he said, adding that investigators still “have some more digging to do.”
Ryan’s comments come a week after Gowdy told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that he’s convinced the FBI did exactly what his fellow citizens would want them to do. In my opinion, any member of Congress who defends the FBI’s participation in Barack Obama’s political surveillance operation should not be serving the American people.
Following Ryan’s comments in support of the FBI’s illegal spying operation, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz dropped a nasty truth bomb on the Speaker of the House. “There is no defense today for Paul Ryan siding with the FBI and Department of Justice against those of us in the Congress who are working for transparency and accountability,” said Gaetz during an interview on Fox News‘ Fox Business with host Lou Dobbs.
“We need the Speaker to be an institutionalist of the Congress and not to be a defender of the Deep State… The silence from our very own Speaker is deafening. He needs to speak up. He needs to join us in a call for a second Special Counsel. And for goodness sakes, stop defending the FBI’s collection of intelligence on the Trump campaign when they refuse to give us the documents to show whether or not they broke the law,” Gaetz continued.
“As you know, I run in the conservative circles of the House. And I have never up to this point heard a single person talk removing Speaker Ryan from the speakership. Today for the first time, I was hearing colleagues say, well if Speaker Ryan won’t stand with us in this fight over the essentials of our democracy, not weaponizing the intelligence community against a presidential campaign, do we need to look at other choices? So I think that remains a lingering question,” Gaetz added.
Paul Ryan is peddling the deep state’s agenda and is directly attempting to sweep the FBI’s corruption under the rug with the help of other key players in Congress. The bottom line here is that the FBI is calling in favors from every corner of the political world from hacks like Ryan.
Oddly enough, both Ryan and Gowdy have defended the FBI’s illegal political surveillance and both men have announced their departure from Congress after their current terms are up. This is more than just coincidence that two of the Republican Party’s heavy hitters are vouching for a corrupt FBI before they leave Congress. In my opinion, that in and of itself wreaks of corruption.
It is beyond disturbing to watch members of Congress who are supposed to be serving the interests of the American people actually serve the interests of an out of control and politicized FBI. This should be a wake-up call to anyone who believes that our government could not be corrupted to such a great extent. Like Matt Gaetz emphasized, the true conservatives in the Republican Party who support Donald Trump are now openly talking about replacing Ryan as Speaker of the House, and hopefully, it isn’t too late for such a move to have the necessary impact.
