Congressional GOP Utterly Silent After Jason Chaffetz Busted Using Personal Email ServerIn a great ironic twist, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has been promising to lead the investigation of Hillary Clinton even now that Donald Trump has become president, and is now under fire himself for use of an illegal private email server.
The Democratic Coalition Against Trump reported Rep. Chaffetz to the FBI, explaining: The Democratic Coalition Against Trump reported Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to the FBI on Wednesday morning for possibly breaking Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 793(f) of the federal code, which makes it unlawful to send or store classified information on a personal email. As was recently resurfaced by the Democratic Coalition’s #TrumpLeaks program, Rep. Chaffetz lists his personal Gmail address on business cards brandished with the Congressional seal. Rep. Chaffetz sits on the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations, which has jurisdiction over “internal and homeland security,” among other things. This coalition brings up several good questions. First, will Chaffetz be able to lead an investigation of Hillary Clinton while he himself is suspected of doing the exact same thing she’s accused of doing? http://theproudliberal.org/congressional-gop-utterly-silent-after-jason-chaffetz-busted-using-personal-email-server/

1. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, -R, Liar/Hypocrite, Utah- Big Man on Campus wannabe...
...AND general shit-weasel.
Chaffetz needs to resign, move back to Utah permanently, and spend the rest of his days contemplating just what a despicable person he truly is. |

3. Of Course
Their hypocrisy is beyond belief. Worse yet, their supporters either don't see it or don't care. It certainly will not be talked about on Faux News and the clueless who watch Faux are not going to put 2 and 2 together or it will add up to 5, alternate facts you know.

13. I have known about this from at least summer 2016
They all have private servers and do emails from non government systems. Now the white house is back to using RNC emails. You all's guess is as good as mine why this isn't known to the whole country! Chuck Todd??? You stated yesterday you supposed the news media wasn't hard enough on Hillary and her emails... but you never talked about this.

What the fuck this man smokes half the time? Does he wake up every morning wondering what new stupid shit he could say everyday? Is there some kind of inner challenge he has going where he wills himself to say more dumb shit as each day passes?

16. He should resign the House immediately
Of course, I don't expect it. But he should at least be reminded daily of his "sins". Couldn't think of a better word. But he's guilty of a lot.
I bet it would be hard to get through to him via his web site. But a call from a next door neighbor state, Colorado, to his local office is on my agenda. Silence, huh? I guess we can interpret that as Ghandi's, "First they ignore you". We can't let this go away. |

18. The most vocal zealots against something are usually guilty of it themselves.
These sorts of people are often so terrified of being found out that they tend to knee-jerkingly go on the offensive in order to (in their minds) distract from their own transgressions or violations of the proclaimed protocols.
