    Forget the fact that the DOJ already has the tapes and this dude is just signalling to Republican voters, why would it be the purview of the Speaker of the House to obstruct DOJ investigations and admit to it publicly?

      Yeah but the public hasn’t seen them and they don’t want the FBI to get tips from the public leading them to be arrested.
