Exclusive — President Donald Trump: Paul Ryan Blocked Subpoenas of Democrats
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.
By: Alexander Marlow, Matthew Boyle, Amanda House, & Charlie Spiering, Breitbart, March 14, 2019:
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.”
Trump’s comments came in a wider part of the conversation about how the left is more “vicious” than the right—and that the left in American politics plays “cuter and tougher.”
“So here’s the thing—it’s so terrible what’s happening,” Trump said when asked by Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle about how the left is fighting hard. “You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. But the left plays it cuter and tougher. Like with all the nonsense that they do in Congress … with all this invest[igations]—that’s all they want to do is –you know, they do things that are nasty. Republicans never played this.”
Trump’s relationship with Ryan during Ryan’s tenure was fraught with peril from the get-go. Ryan only hesitantly backed Trump’s 2016 campaign in 2016 once Trump won the GOP nomination, but then backed off from supporting Trump after the release of the infamous Access Hollywood tape. Ryan ditched on a campaign event he had scheduled with Trump that weekend, and the following week held a conference call with House GOP members in early October 2016 in which he told members it would be acceptable to him if they abandoned the GOP nominee for president just weeks before the 2016 election.
“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.
Prior to being Speaker, Ryan was the failed 2012 vice presidential nominee for the GOP presidential ticket of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. With Ryan at his side, Romney, who has since left Massachusetts behind to move to Utah and now represents Utah in the U.S. Senate, lost the 2012 presidential election to then-President Barack Obama.
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. Now that Ryan is gone from public life, he took a sharp shot at Trump earlier this week.
“The person who defines that race is going to win the race,” Ryan said about the 2020 presidential race at a lecture in Florida per a local news account. “If this is about Donald Trump and his personality, he isn’t going to win it.”
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., fired back at Ryan on Twitter earlier in the week, saying the former speaker “failed” in 2012, “lied to us,” did not deliver border wall funding he promised previously, and then went on to lose the House GOP its majority in the midterms.
Pretty rich. Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 running mate, the speaker who lied to us and didn't deliver Wall funding (and then lost the house) gives advice on winning.

Ryan has since walked back his criticisms of Trump’s 2020 prospects, saying that he meant to blame the media.
To be clear, GOP wins elections when they’re about ideas not when they’re personality contests like Dems & media want. We’re clearly better off because of @RealDonaldTrump. His record of accomplishment is why he’ll win re-election especially when compared to Dems’ leftward lurch.

Ryan is just another playboy!
Ryan’s wife is very wealthy and a flaming liberal. Like John Kerry (Heinz), John McShame (Beer heiress) and Beta ‘Rourke (father in law – real estate and business developer), they MARRY for money and want to ruin our lives while they live high and large. Mitch also married into a very wealthy Chinese family. For example his father in law gave him five million, last year, just because he felt like it. They are big in the shipping business with China so I imagine Mitch and his wealthy Asian wife who Trump appointed to head the Department of Transportation, are watching how trade is going with China. Don’t be alarmed! My guess is Trump purposely let his wife have that position to thank him for not bringing Obama’s judge up for a vote. Trump knows Mitch is disgusting as well as most of others.

It is interesting to note that Ryan along with the three Senators who voted against the border wall emergency bill all have failed presidential aspirations.

You Repugnicans need to remove Ryan from his post as Minority Leader and replace him with a conservative, not another RINO.
Sadly, Democrats and today’s Republicans are the two wings of the same loathsome Socialist carrion-feeder.

I thought Ryan resigned. He was a turncoat under Obama and worse under Trump. He gave in to the dems ever time. Ryan, Romney and all the other former presidential candidates are nothing but a bunch of babies, just like HRC, can’t except the fact that they lost.

Coulter switches sides with the weather. She’s nothing more than a confused, blonde bimbo. Now she’s saying she’ll vote for a Democrat in 2020. She can’t leave her hair alone when she’s on camera, constantly running her fingers thru it and flipping it – that behavior is pathological.

She says as President he can just over ride them all officially so why doesn’t he?Ann Coulter knows so much more than she is letting on that woman is very clued up thats my opinion anyway and far too intelligent to become a politician as many suggest she should.From the sidelines she can if she wishes attack or support both sides through her writing.Just wish she would cut and style that bl**dy hair after all she is in her fifties now, and take elocution lessons as like most American females her public English speaking voice leaves a lot to be desired.The men are just so much better e.g. even Bill Maher! So disappointed in her she is missing I think an important digit of maturity.

I never liker Ryan and I’m surprised that Trump didn’t see what kind of two face bastard he is. He’s was working for the Demorats, just like the Republicans don’t want a wall.
