Paul Ryan says He wants to pass Russia sanctions bill soon

No - it's not MAD, The Onion, or Borowitz

Rawstory

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday said he wants to move a strong bill regarding sanctions on Russia as quickly as possible bill but that the legislation still faces procedural and policy hurdles.

“Right now, we have a procedural issue,” and Republicans are working with Democrats regarding sending the bill back to the Senate, Ryan told reporters at a news conference. “There are some policy issues with respect to making sure that we don’t actually inadvertently help Russian oligarchs and oil firms.”

...and the law?

Purely rhetorical question... I think Ryan knows very well where he stands... and is willing to push the treasonous envelope.

I wonder... live boy or a dead girl?

This whole mess is all about a $500 Billion oil deal between Russian Mobsters and Exon. Hillary and Barack killed the deal. Trump OKed it and made the former head of Exon the SOS.

If the GOP decides to dump Trump, all they have to do is kill the deal and Putin will burn Trump so thoroughly that he'll be forced to resign in weeks.
