Congressional GOP Utterly Silent After Jason Chaffetz Busted Using Personal Email Server

[Madam45for2923]

In 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.

“The mishandling of classified information that concerns the national security of our nation is something that the FBI takes very seriously,” said Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the Democratic Coalition. “The irony is unparalleled- Representative Chaffetz, the person who led the charge against Secretary Clinton’s personal email server use, could actually be the one who is breaking the law and putting our national security at risk in the process.”

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?

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.

[compsports]

10. Supporters don't care

Republicans don't care if politicians on their side break the rules. But if the Democrats do the same thing, they cry "bloody murder."

[tblue37]

21. Silly rabbit, don't you know? IOKIYAR! nt

[joshdawg]

46. Yep, my sentiments exactly!

[smirkymonkey]

4. Forgive my ignorant question, but who is policing these people?

They are breaking laws left and right, yet there seems to be no accountability. How is this happening? Is there nobody in Washington that is able to bring the hammer down?

[Eyeball_Kid]

7. Welcome to TrumpyLand! This is how they roll.

[Plucketeer]

24. One more despicable

"regulation" to whisk aside.

[Achilleaze]

5. Taking Republican hypocrisy, mendacity and duplicity to a new depth of degradation

Republican comrade Chaffbutz demonstrates his utter lack of honor.

[spanone]

6. we'll get mr. comey right on that! (wink wink nudge nudge)

[lastlib]

8. I demand an IMMEDIATE investigation!!

(your ironic laugh for the day................ . . . : mad: . )

[NCjack]

35. Lock-Him-Up. At least until a kangaroo court can meet to convict him and

send him to prison.

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.

15. Good point

Chuck won't hear you unless you complain to NBC News

[calimary]

37. Chuck Todd's boss - contact info:

Mr. Phil Griffin
NBC/MSNBC
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112

[JHan]

43. Todd said the Media wasn't hard enough on Hillary and her emails?

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?

SMFH

[mdbl]

49. i haven't watched Chuck Tool for years

seems he hasn't become a decent journalist yet - or was he just a talk show host? It's hard to tell.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Chaffetz didn't listen to Bill Clinton

"We're all in this together."

[eleny]

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.

[KittyWampus]

17. LOCK HIM UP

[BumRushDaShow]

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.

[Plucketeer]

22. ISn't it AMAZING

how often this turns out to be the case!

[IronLionZion]

19. Whenever a Republican accuses someone of wrongdoing

it should be standard practice to investigate that Republican too. Guilty dishonest people try to divert suspicion towards someone else.

[Alice11111]

28. Amen to that! If the accuse, they are doing it!

[YallowTime]

20. It's Ok

If a Republican does it.

Fox News says so.

[tblue37]

23. The common initialism is IOKIYAR. nt

[Squinch]

33. Welcome!

[calimary]

38. Welcome to DU, YallowTime!

Indeed. What are the initials for this? IOKIYAR = "It's OK If You're A Republi-CON."

[central scrutinizer]

25. Remember how hard it was

to find a Republican who wasn't having an affair with an intern to investigate Bill Clinton?

[Staph]

31. I was just thinking the same thing.

But I had forgotten how ridiculous it became.

• Newt Gingrich resigned from the House before proceedings started due to his infidelities.
  
• Bob Livingston was chosen to replace the Newt as Speaker, until his infidelities came to light.
  
• Other Republicans, including Dan Burton, Helen Chenoweth and Henry Hyde, had their infidelities exposed at this time.
  
• And who eventually took over the Speakership from Gringrich? Dennis Hastert, now in prison for molesting teenaged boys during his years as a wrestling coach.

Republicans -- the finest purveyors of hypocrisy in the world today!

[calimary]

39. And don't forget - everything trump accused Hillary of doing, she didn't - but HE DID!

She wasn't guilty of doing it. But he WAS!!! And still is!!!

[mythology]

41. Um, she really did have a private email server

There's no disputing that.

[Kilgore]

26. This has been arround since July of last year. Why is there no discussion in the media beyond a few

small political websites?

[Turbineguy]

27. No problem. He's republican.

[SCVDem]

29. Rachel called it!

She said on Friday nights show that today would be a big news day even though Saturdays usually are.

And the day is still young.

Hypocrite = republicans

It's the glee they show while being dicks that allow me to have zero empathy for any of them.

Especially Chaffetz! Fuck him!

[Timmygoat]

30. Chavetz

Would this be the Chaffetz who was claiming a DC rental allowance while at the same time living and sleeping and showering in his DC office?

[Squinch]

32. Because hypocrisy is a Republican value.

[JDC]

34. Wait til he starts his crusade against gay porn...

[coco22]

36. KICKED&RECOMMENDED!

[texasfiddler]

40. He can take his private email server and his HR621 and

shove them up his ass!

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

(Are there ANY Republicans in Congress who aren't assholes?)

[3catwoman3]

44. This smirking little shit...

...is one of the more irritating RWNJ. He wants sooooooooooooooooooo badly to be important.

[Moostache]

45. I have loathed this asshat for YEARS...this just makes that judgment prescient.

He is a total douchebag and was ever since he first crawled out of the slime. Fuck him and the GOP hypocrites. Some one in the DNC BETTER be paying attention to this shit and recording it for use in next year's campaigns (yeah, that's right...is it NEXT YEAR that we start undoing this shit storm....get focused and ready!!!)

[NewJeffCT]

47. so, a bunch of White House staff

and Jason Chaffetz use private email. At this point, it would be a surprise if anybody did not use their own email server.

[pbmus]

48. This is going to end very well for Dems that work for the people...

50. If hypocrisy was an energy source, just plug it into Republicans and we'd be set for decades

[Achilleaze]

51. Is there not even one Republican with a shred of honor?

Why am I bothering to ask?

[AllaN01Bear]

52. heven forbid if hillary. would have been endless herings if she won.
