GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz fired a shot across Speaker Paul D. Ryans bow Wednesday, claiming Ryan was siding with the deep state, the FBI, and Justice Department over congressional Republicans trying to conduct oversight on those agencies.
At issue was the speakers defense of the FBI earlier in the day for pursuing information from an informant in President Donald Trumps 2016 presidential campaign about Russian interference and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Ryans statement similar to those of House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy last week dealt a blow to the presidents so-called Spygate theory that the FBI embedded a spy in his campaign for political purposes.
Instead of our speaker standing with us and putting the focus on the FBIs refusal to turn over documents so that we can perform our oversight duties ... he was defending the FBI, Gaetz, a member of the conservative House Free Dumb Caucus, said Wednesday on Fox Business.
