No. Hard no.
I say that even if the harshest Trump-Russia theories end up proven beyond a doubt.
We can't change the past. Best we can do is move forward.
@RBReich's idea would prevent moving forward. Basically repeating the mistakes from the Treaty of Versailles that ended WWI.https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1033216231036211200 …
Not substantially more than there already is. Individual lawbreakers still punished and disgraced. There'd have to be someone simultaneously willing to cheat and willing to sacrifice everything on behalf of an ideology. I'm not sure if anyone like that exists.

You're not sure Paul Ryan exists? From what I've seen, the GOP used the cheating to advance ideological goals, and most of them (Ryan, McConnell, etc.) don't face any charges or more opprobrium than they've already received, mostly.

I'm not aware of any credible accusation Ryan cheated. He's letting others' cheating slide, and deserves a lot of criticism for that, but it's not the same thing.

I was thinking of this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html?utm_term=.cf48bb5ff72f … and this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/national-security/obama-putin-election-hacking/?utm_term=.b48a030a1892 …. They cynically used Trump's cheating with Russia in order to further their own policy goals on judges and taxes. They still are. The GOP used and uses Trump's cheating. Thus, a bad incentive.

Nunes has worked feverishly to do everything he could to help Trump see into the Mueller investigation and hurt it politically. He does that with Ryan's blessing. Ryan could but hasn't removed him from his chairmanship, and he approves certain requests of DOJ.
