Who could have forseen such a shocking turn of events!?

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

Chaffetz made the announcement in a statement on his website, ending weeks of speculation about his plans. He had been scheduled to hold a news conference at 3:30 p.m. MT.

"Serving you in the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly nine years has been a rare honor and privilege," he said in the statement. "When I first ran for Congress in 2008 I promised I would get in, serve, and get out. I told voters I did not believe Congress should be a lifetime career. I knew from day one that my service there would not last forever."

And did he tell voters last year that they were only voting him in for another 6 months instead of a full term? What a sleaze.

I'd be fine if he pulled a Roger Ailes.

 

[To Far Away Times]

He got his damage in with his Wealthcare vote. Get in, do your "Fuck You, Got Mine" vote, and get out I guess.

I guess his job's no fun since Hillary didn't win.

All these assholes have something to hide, don't they.

 

[EatinOlives]

Goes to show that the Republican party is woefully unprepared to lead the country. You have a Republican president and control of both chambers of congress and the entire thing is still an uncontrollable heaping trash fire, to the point where some of the rats are straight up jumping the ship. And to think this was supposed to be the time of Chaffetz as a rising political star.

The party is rotten to the absolute core. The only thing they've achieved with full control of the federal government is a total collapse.

He took $10m the day he released the Hillary Comey email letter. Rumor is that he is mixed up into superpac dirty money and can't hide it.

The $10m is public record.
Claude was saying he was going to bail for some time, and that it wasn't for the family reasons he was stating and was proven correct on the timing.

Mensch predicted Chaffetz resignation in early April. Many on Reddit are giving her credit where credit is due. Doubt GAF will though.

Here's the thing. You are correct. But Republican supporters just don't care.

Funder guy is in the Mensch camp for me until someone else reports on his bombshell discoveries about Russians funding GOP members.

Use of an illegal email server lol. Of course, of fucking course, man. G

It's been a good week I guess, but nothing like Christmas.

This is more like being right about the massive silo of shit you've been predicting to explode, but not far enough away from it to not get shit on when it explodes.
