Paul Ryan calls to 'cleanse' the FBI, backs surveillance memo release

House Speaker Paul Ryan called Tuesday to “cleanse” the FBI as he openly backed the release of a controversial memo that purportedly details alleged surveillance abuses by the U.S. government.

“Let it all out, get it all out there. Cleanse the organization,” Ryan, R-Wis., said.

He added: “I think we should disclose all this stuff. It’s the best disinfectant. Accountability, transparency -- for the sake of the reputation of our institutions.”

The striking remarks came at a breakfast with anchors and reporters ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address; much of the session was off the record.

Ryan spoke on the record to address the controversy over the House Intelligence Committee voting late Monday to make public the surveillance memo.

Ryan said “we should disclose,” and “disclosure is the way to go.”

He said problems at the FBI and the Justice Department should be cleaned out, while “covering up mischief would be worse.”

Paul Ryan is a farce... He talks on deaf ears and only says and does as any other politicians does... He did that with the health care said he would fight for us and caved after the first day... Another smoke and mirrors scheme...

Obama's campaigns ran on transparency and accountability.
The joke was on us.


(Thank the stars that Hillary wasn't elected, talking about transparency and accountability.)

We, the people, need to have Hillary and Barrack held accountable for meddling in the 2016 election amongst other 'high crimes and misdemeanors!

I don't trust anything this snake in the grass says!
Trump better watch his back with this turn coat behind him!
If he truly supported Trump, he could have done something within his power long ago! Eddie Monster look alike, should go back to Mockingbird Lane!!!!

I agree with the above comments. I haven't forgotten in the beginning when he was anti-Trump. He was the original resistance. Seems to be doing okay now, but how can you trust a cheese eater (Wisconsin)?

I think purge is the word we are looking for.
