House Speaker Paul Ryan publicly backed the release of a controversial House Intelligence Committee memo, which potentially contains evidence of politically charged government surveillance abuses.

“Let it all out, get it all out there. Cleanse the organization,” Ryan (R-Wis) told Fox News. “I think we should disclose all this stuff. It’s the best disinfectant. Accountability, transparency -- for the sake of the reputation of our institutions.”
