Ryan is in the line of succession.

Unless he is about to be popped for conspiracy, collusion, etc.

He didn't want the Speaker job in the first place, and it must be especially awful right now, with the whole GOP going down the toilet.

And he wants to get out while the plum lobby and Pundit jobs are still ripe for the picking. Pretty soon, that market is going to be flooded.

Plus he is put in a position of defending Treason*45 or having to go after him. Either way he is screwn in the eyes of the people.

Same thing Chaffetz did IMO


Although it would be delicious if he is caught up in the whole mess
