Ryan: ‘Perfectly Appropriate’ to Appoint a Special Counsel; Helps DoJ Do Their Job ‘Independently’

EXCERPT:

RYAN: "Well like I said, the appointment of a special counsel I think helps assure people and the Justice Department that they're going to do their jobs independently and thoroughly, which is what we've called for all along. And so I think it was perfectly appropriate to do that. In the meantime, we are going to keep doing our jobs."
