House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is threatening to force a vote on creating an independent committee to investigate the Trump-Russia affair if the Republicans won’t bring it up for a vote.

In a letter to the Democratic caucus today, Pelosi wrote the following:

“Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) must call up this legislation immediately upon our return next week. If Republicans continue to work to hide the truth from the American people, it will be necessary for Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote on the [legislation].

Given Director Comey’s confirmation of the Trump-Russia inquiry, the President’s actions raise questions about whether this dismissal was an attempt to undermine that investigation.

The fireworks at the Department of Justice demand that we remove the investigation from the Trump-appointed Justice Department leadership.”

In 2009 when the Dems were trying to move Obamacare through here's what Paul Ryan said

"I don't think we should pass bills we haven't read and that we do not know what they cost"

He also said "we shouldn't rush this through just to rush it through for some artificial deadline"

Just more right-wing hypocrisy
