The particularly funny bit is no one, not even Ryan or GOP leaders think Trump is innocent. They all know he's dirty as all hell, but they're protecting him still despite high crimes and misdemeanors committed thus far.

Just introduced a bill requiring any Executive Branch spending at Trump-owned businesses, like golf courses and hotels, be disclosed to the public. Americans deserve to see how their tax dollars are being used to enrich the nation’s chief executive and his family. pic.twitter.com/UWhTB7yiQq
