House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Thursday that while Special Counsel Robert Mueller should be “free to do his job,” he would like to see the probe reach its conclusion.

In a press briefing Thursday, a reporter asked Ryan about Vice President Mike Pence’s comment last week, referring to Mueller’s probe, that “it’s time to wrap it up.”

“I think he should be free to do his job, but I would like to see it get wrapped up, of course,” Ryan responded. “I mean, we want to see this thing come to its conclusion, but again, I’ve always said he should be free to finish his job.”

“It’s been a year, my guess is he’s probably coming to a conclusion,” Ryan added in a response to another question. “I can’t speak for that.”

  1. We’d all like to see it wound up, too, Paulie, but undoubtedly not in the same way you mean.

  2. Agreed, i can’t wait for the next round of indictments.

  3. Bravely leading from behind, as always. Expressing mealy-mouthed desires rather than acting like he’s, oh I don’t know, a government leader of some kind.

    Profoundly ineffectual. I don’t know how the House might be able to do worse, but if they retain the House, I have faith in the GOP that they’ll try.

  4. No further comment other than, "Fuck you Ryan, ya bludger!

  5. Fuck off, you miserable quisling.
