The Paul Ryan "retiring" news today sure sounds like Mr Mueller has informed him that he is not in the line of succession

(31,112 posts)1. Something is up for sure but this makes no sense.
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.

(8,998 posts)3. Remember when he colluded with Nunes?

JDC
(10,129 posts)5. I suspect he knows the whole shithouse is about to come down
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
