President Donald Trump is not happy that former House Speaker Paul Ryan blocked subpoenas of people and entities Trump thinks the House GOP should have been investigating during the first two years of his administration.

Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive lengthy Oval Office interview that Ryan blocked issuance of subpoenas to people he thinks should have been investigated on the political left, and now that the Republicans no longer have the majority in the House, people Trump says Ryan protected may have gotten away with whatever they did that warranted investigation.

Trump said that House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and his predecessor and fellow conservative Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) wanted to be tougher with the left, but that Ryan would not let them.

“Paul Ryan wouldn’t give the right to have any subpoenas,” Trump told Breitbart News. “Okay? Now in all fairness, Meadows and Jordan and all these guys, they wanted to go tougher, but they weren’t allowed to by leadership.”

“I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future,” Ryan said on the private call, audio of which was obtained by Breitbart News and published in early 2017.

Ryan followed through on that and never campaigned with Trump. When Breitbart News published this audio in the spring of 2017, his then-spokesman Brendan Buck claimed that “a lot has happened since then” and argued that Ryan was working with Trump on the president’s agenda in the first couple years of his administration.

With the exception of tax cuts, however, which the president led the way on, Ryan did not deliver much in the way of helping Trump achieve any of his agenda during the time Ryan served as Speaker while Trump served as president. Ryan became speaker in 2015, when then-Speaker John Boehner—facing a revolt from within his own GOP ranks—was forced to step aside. Others had sought the job and failed before Ryan eventually ended up running for the position. . . .

Then in early 2018, Ryan announced he would not be seeking re-election in the midterms. Critics argued that his not stepping aside hurt the GOP in the midterm elections.

God bless our President He has done more for this country in a short amount of time then any other President, surrounded by backstabbers, liers, the deep state,and hatred at an unprecedented level, along with demonic forces. Yet!!! Praise God he still keeps going and never gives up !!
He has shone the light on who is really for this country and who is not.

I think Speaker of the House needs to be investigated and brought up on charges!

RINOs are not good shepherds. They are self serving and deceitful.
The ruling elites waste vast sums of money on “big war” (purposeless and never ending) and “big welfare” (whose purpose is to bribe voters and erode personal responsibility). This diminution of morality reduces liberty. Obsession with big government is idolatry and lust for power. These gutter standards must be replaced by godly standards, which alone are sustainable.

President Trump has had to fight both parties, since he was elected. He has enough Christian fortitude to keep on doing what is right. I pray he win’t Ever give up. He has helped the American people more than any president. He takes no pay for his service! How many of our rich, former, presidents, did that? None!!!
