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 ?

1. Your link rolls to an older article about Flynn... n/t

[drray23]

2. weird. it brings me to the article. let me try to fix it.nt.

[Lucinda]

6. Thanks for correcting the link. Chaffetz is one weird dude.

I'm guessing he may have not liked being used by the WH...but who knows what he is thinking...

3. Noooooo

He asked them to investigate leaks - very Trumpian

[drray23]

4. that was regarding Flynn. I posted the wrong link. I now updated it.nt.

12. Thank you...

7. Palmer Report said Chaffetz made a deal with FBI.

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

8. Dang! I can't even do a quick errand without missing

some major developments!

9. Short answer: CYA

10. California Youth Authority?

Just kidding!

[CanonRay]

11. Didn't think of that

13. The Justice IG should be investigating Jason Chaffetz. (eom)

[drray23]

14. sure but for now i'd rather they investigate Trump.

Chaffetz is small fish compared to Trump.

[StevieM]

15. Obviously Trump is the president. But Chaffetz deserves more credit for winning the election

for the GOP than Trump does.

[drray23]

16. true he is the guy who leaked Comney's letter.

but I think it would have leaked anyway and Comney knew that.

17. Chaffetz drove the fake email scandal from the beginning. He was the one who got Comey to make it

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.

18. here's the IG report already done for them: Prez has authority to fire Comey. End of report nt

19. Chaffetz is being investigated for financial fraud among other possible things

He apparently made a deal and agreed to not run for re-election.
