Here's No Spine Ryan chipping in.
House Speaker Paul Ryan reiterated his support for special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation on Sunday after President Trump targeting the probe in a series of tweets over the weekend.
"As the speaker has always said, Mr. Mueller and his team should be able to do their job," Ryan spokesperson AshLee Strong told the Washington Examiner.
Asked about comments on the probe from Trump, who Sunday morning was continuing to tweet his frustration, Gowdy offered similar thoughts.
"If the allegation is collusion with the Russians, and there is no evidence of that, and you are innocent of that, act like it," Gowdy said.
He added later in the interview, "If you've done nothing wrong, you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough as possible."

Gowdy is finally catching on to what I said in the very first post in this thread..
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~ Marcus Aurelius“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“The urge to shout filthy words at the top of his voice was as strong as ever.”
― George Orwell, 1984
This speaks to the "give him enough rope to hang himself" theory.
He's feeling his oats and we're about to get the real trump. I'd say it can only one of two ways: 1) He is president for life or 2) He fucks it all up and resigns in disgrace. I don't believe we'll be seeing an election leading to a peaceful transfer of power.For months, President Trump’s legal advisers implored him to avoid so much as mentioning the name of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, in his tweets, and to do nothing to provoke him or suggest his investigation is not proper.
Ignoring that advice over the weekend was the decision of a president who ultimately trusts only his own instincts, and now believes he has settled into the job enough to rely on them rather than the people who advise him.
A dozen people close to Mr. Trump or the White House, including current and former aides and longtime friends, described him as newly emboldened to say what he really feels and to ignore the cautions of those around him.
