15. Perhaps this explains Chaffetz's reluctance.....

Apr 2017

to launch a House Oversight Committee investigation into the Rusian connection to the 2016 Election. That the possibility that he could have been bought off.

I also find it interesting that Jason Chaffetz so eloquently opined that after the 2005 Access Hollywood tape came out, that he could not support, let alone vote for, Donald Trump. Perhaps he looked his daughter in the eyes and told her what he did anyway. I call that being a Hypocrite.

Or that the conscience of Jason Chaffetz finally caught up with him? Mormon guilt? The phone lines are open.
