Why is Paul Ryan retiring?

[milestogo]

What is his agenda?

[beachbum bob]

1. take the millions he has sitting in his campaign fund and retire is simple reason

[redstatebluegirl]

4. Not to mention his huge pension and healthcare package we will be paying for.

[Zoonart]

2. Escaping the blast zone.

[Squinch]

3. Because he doesn't want his Russian graft coming out.

In that conversation about trump and Rohrabacher getting paid by Russia, he was completely fine with the idea, thought it was funny.

He's on the take.

[Jarqui]

5. I think he knows there is a political shitstorm coming

and although he was a part of it, he wants no further part of it.

7. Resigning doesnt save him from criminal charges. Maybe if he retires first he can keep

the social security etc he disdains everyone else having.

8. He sees the writing on the wall. . .

. . .and like a cockroach exposed, he's skedaddling.

[WestIndianArchie]

9. I don't know maybe

he's working on his defense for taking that Russian/NRA money and his impending corruption indictment

10. Pence VP

11. Don't know what his agenda is but he probably doesn't have anything to worry about. A 6 figure...

lobbying job in DC or a white shoe firm gig if he's a lawyer awaits him in Wisconsin.

I just want that soulless, spineless, cruel bastard out of the House. He's been living off the government dole since he was a kid and has been denying it to those who really need it since he's been in office.

Enough!

12. He's going to federal penetentiary

along with the rest of the repubmob enablers. They have all been compromised and he is one of the major player when it comes the House and he knows it. He'd better go home and make sure his kids have a secure future because his assets will disappear in the RICO conviction.

13. That's my preferred outcome too. Let's hope it happens.

[cp]

14. We wonder that too

Prolly become a parasitic lobbyist for big bucks

[BHDem53]

15. It gives him more time to

volunteer at the soup kitchen washing dishes.
