Top Republicans break with Trump, say FBI acted appropriately

[spanone]

(CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, both Republicans, broke with President Donald Trump on Wednesday over allegations spies infiltrated his 2016 campaign, saying they agree with GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy that the FBI did "exactly" what it should have done over its handling of a confidential source.

The declarations by the leading Republicans are the latest indications that Trump lacks any evidence to back up his claims of a major political scandal he calls "spygate" -- since those lawmakers were among a select group briefed on the classified intelligence at issue. The only Republican briefed on the intelligence who has yet to break from Trump is Rep. Devin Nunes, the House Intelligence chairman who has demanded more documents as part of his investigation.

"I think Chairman Gowdy's initial assessment's accurate, I think, but we have some more digging to do. We're waiting for some more document requests," Ryan told reporters at a news conference on Capitol Hill. "It would have been helpful if we got this information earlier."

"I think that Trey Gowdy's description of the process was correct," Burr said.

3. Its starting to break apart

I always wondered what it would take and what it would be, apparently now we're beginning to see. Republicans are finally starting to come out and speak against the lies and distortions of this President. The question now will be, does he continue to run w/ this wild theory or does it slink away into the forgotten unknowns along with Obama wiretappings and Comey tapes?
