Chaffetz asks justice IG to investigate Comney's firing.

chaffetz asks justice inspector general to invest Comney's firing

I can not understand what caused Chaffetz to suddenly go all Rambo on Trump .

Maybe they attempted to threaten him and he is hitting back ?

Said Russia had kompromat on Chaffetz, and he finally got tired of being blackmailed and straddling that fence.

and FBI investigation, which it never needed to be.

And, yes, Comey knew the letter would leak. Chaffetz took about 5 minutes. Comey made the wrong decision time and time and time and time and time again.
