Maybe all the comments abovre aren't taking the reason Ryan isn't doing anything about trump is for a selfish reason?
If trump is impeached, Pence becomes pres. Ok, so far.
But if Mueller takes down trump, odds are good pence goes with him. That leaves the next in line for the new American throne.
And that next in line is Paul Ryan.
So why should he try to take down trump if he can't get rid of Pence, too?

The only good thing that comes from this in Ryan is unlikely to be President.
