1. K&R...

2. Chaffetz: "How dare you expose Flynn's treasonous behavior! You're supposed to shut up about it!"

3. Diversion Tactics.

6. Chaffetz has the stink all over him- is he involved w/Russia, too?

or just protecting the nutcases in the WH?

[mopinko]

10. he didnt hold all those hearings for his health.

he cant be that stupid that he doesnt see the hypocrisy. ergo- he is in on it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. First and foremost they are protecting their power. Or so they think.

The longer they postpone the inevitable collapse of tRump, the deeper the loathing they receive. Many in the country will vote against Hillary and Obama in 2018 (though they of course won't be running) no matter what, but the rest of the country gets more disgusted every day and tRump supporters / Republicans are peeling off in dribs and drabs.

18. Maybe, but his fishing

expedition of HRC's email bullshit story made him tired now he needs nsp.

[grantcart]

7. Putin to Trump to Chaffetz, with all the time zones it's really

going to slow things down

[Mars and Minerva]

8. This doesn't seem like a very smart plan....

There are many departments and levels of IC. They know everything about everyone. Is it even conceivable that Chaffetz has nothing to hide? He doesn't strike me as a brave soul so I would be greatly surprised if he ever found a fish at the end of that line. This is all smoke and mirrors.

[ExtraGriz]

17. Fish?

chaffetz has everythiiiiiiiing to hide...

he is investigating the leakers of the leaks as russia infiltrate the U.S ( this is effed up!), many of those leaks have come true and i am sure many more are coming.

so NO...this isn't smoke and mirrors. Chaffetz is hiding shit and i am guessing it's to protect the republicans in the legislature.

[Mars and Minerva]

20. When I first wrote the post you commented on I hadn't heard the even grimmer news.

Trump's appointee to investigate IC leaks (Stephen A. Feinberg) once tried to buy Blackwater. Forget the smoke and mirrors. This is getting even scarier. Trump may be an idiot but he apparently has some terrifying and evil friends. He isn't just a tool of Putin, the folks starting to come out of the woodwork are just as bad as Vlad and maybe worse.

9. Chaffetz is part of the cover up

[heaven05]

12. of course

he, ryan mcconnell all...

[VaBchTgerLily]

13. Chaffetz NEEDS TO GO!!! hope this is hes last term!!!

[dchill]

14. I have a feeling that "Leak Probes"...

will only lead to golden showers of Russian rain on Trump's parade. When you probe, you risk making new holes.

[NCjack]

15. #45 can crush Chaffetz like the little vile bug he is. Just

one tweet storm by #45 and Chaffetz' political career is ended. That would be a big problem for him, as he has no ability to bring in enough money to survive except by being a professional career politician. And, #45 recognizes just how vulnerable Chaffetz is.

[panader0]

16. An investigation of the leaks will bring out many unpleasant facts

about the administration. So bring it on and the big spotlight.

[Ford_Prefect]

19. Sounding like Chaffetz is a willing tool to me. Does that make him another Russian pawn?

[Scarsdale]

21. Low life's?

They are all in the WH, starting with the large blob of orange glow that passes for a "man"

[oasis]

23. And to top it off, the slimy weasel is as smug as can be.
