Jason Chaffetz vows to continue Clinton email investigation
Source: cnn.com
Washington (CNN)House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said Monday he will continue to investigate Hillary Clinton's use of a primary email server while leading the State Department, but claimed he "won't be a cheerleader" for President-elect Donald Trump.
"Just because there was a political election doesn't mean it goes away," the Utah Republican said of the Clinton investigation.
He called the classified emails that surfaced on the server "the largest breach of security in the history of the State Department."
The FBI decided not to recommend charges against Clinton, though their months-long investigation -- and last-minute reopening of it -- cast a pall over her campaign.
Chaffetz also told reporters his committee will continue its executive oversight role ?and said that could include probing issues arising in the Trump administration.
"My job is not to be a cheerleader for the president," he said.
When asked about Trump's potential business conflicts the chairman noted that the law? exempts the president of the United States, calling the push from Democrats to launch a committee investigation on Trump's business ties "premature at best."
Chaffetz also sidestepped a question about potential conflicts for Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, tapped to be a senior adviser, saying he just learned about his role. But he said he planned to talk to the incoming White House Counsel, Don McGahn, soon.

Do these guys realize that George W Bush had some 22,000,000 emails lost and the entire admin did all their email on servers hosted by the RNC.

We need to target him, Dems. He is the most evil. He used to be a Dem, but couldn't get elected in Utah, so he switched. Good. We don't want such scum. Pure ambition. No principles whatsoever.
