House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) warned Wednesday that Democratic control of the Senate or House of Representatives would lead to “subpoenas.”
“If we do lose control of either of the two bodies, then you’ll have absolute gridlock,” Ryan said at the Milken Institute Global Conference, according to multiple reports.
“You’ll have gridlock, you’ll have subpoenas, you’ll have just the system shutting down,” he added. “I don’t think we’re going to lose control, but I think that’s what would happen.”
Ryan announced last month that he would not seek reelection.
He acknowledged Wednesday, according to the Associated Press, that “there’s a great amount of enthusiasm on the other side of the aisle.”
Lordy, I hope there are subpoenas.
Well isn’t that the point?
Damn straight Skippy.
The only reason there will be subpoenas is the GOP-controlled Congress abdicated its responsibilities under the Constitution.
"“You’ll have gridlock, you’ll have subpoenas, you’ll have just the system shutting down,”
You mean like January 21, 2009 through January 19, 2017?
