Did Paul Ryan and General Kelly lie for Donald Trump??

[kentuck]

Both came forward this morning to let us know that they knew all about the Muslim "ban" before it happened?

But, why did they wait for more than 48 hours to go public, as the controversy brewed all around them?

Did they come forward because Trump ordered them to come forward or did they do it on their own?

Did they lie?

4. Are they Republicans?

Yep

5. Organized CHAOS

This is by design. He has gone into the WH and pulled all the table cloths off the tables and as we are trying to sort the pieces.

While we are all going on with this mess they are doing even more nefarious moves in the background. He is purging the offices of experts and putting sycophants followers and enablers in their place.

Just like a mobster.

6. Must. Protect. The. Tribe.

All of these guys are Republicans first, who knows what next and Americans last. They'd eat their young if that's what it took to stay in power and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably sharpening their knife for the next gunfight.

10. Republicans first............ Russians second...... Americans last

7. Saying you knew about it cos he's been talking about banning Muslims for over a year

is bullshit of the highest order.

[KingCharlemagne]

11. It's like saying "enhance" when you mean "improve". Generals are

good at it.

[global1]

8. They Serve At The Pleasure Of The President....

if they didn't lie - they would have been fired.

I know Ryan has an elected position but I'm sure that Trump would see to it that Ryan would no longer be the Majority Leader of the House.

[KingCharlemagne]

12. Hes not majority leader. he is Speaker. - nt

[erpowers]

9. Get Their Stories Straight

Maybe they were trying to get their stories straight. They would cause more problems if they came out and people could find holes in their stories.

[oasis]

13. Trump trots these guys out 48 hours after the shitstorm. They've

been asked to cover for Trump's ineptitude.
