Latest twists and turns in the devin nunes scandal, which also seems to be a paul ryan scandal. Should devin nunes recuse himself. He wont tell us what he learned. Meetings are being cancelled. We have done no business this week. He needs to step down. Its a little bizarre. We never talk about sources. Hes not willing to tell the democrats, who you met with. I never asked of you.

The altright blog has led the charge in blaming paul ryan for the health bills failure. Its also starting chatter as replacing ryan as speaker of the house pinning the Stunning Health care loss on ryan.
