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

Mike Emanuel By  Mike Emanuel   | Fox News | Jan. 30, 2018

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.

Am I alone, viewing Speaker Paul Ryan as "following" the events of the day, NOT LEADING ??

FBI is under the DOJ which is an executive branch department, not Congressional. They can suggest and request, but not order.
