This miscreant: Jason Chaffetz Slams Donald Trump And Jeff Sessions As He Leaves Congress

Now he wants to drag in Obama and he forgets about his own actions.

With just two weeks left in office, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) took some shots at President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions in an interview that aired over the weekend.

“The reality is, sadly, I don’t see much difference between the Trump administration and the (Barack) Obama administration,” the outgoing chairman of the House Oversight Committee told Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Chaffetz, who announced his resignation last month, said he thought the “floodgates” would open and his committee would obtain documents that the Obama administration never provided related to investigations into Hillary Clinton, Fast and Furious and the IRS.

That didn’t happen.

Chaffetz said:

“In many ways, it’s almost worse because we’re getting nothing, and that’s terribly frustrating and, with all due respect, the attorney general has not changed at all. I find him to be worse than what I saw with Loretta Lynch in terms of releasing documents and making things available. I just, that’s my experience, and that’s not what I expected.”

Y'all got more than enough documents to get into the minutia of each of those investigations. And not only that, there are official documents that contradict your projected scenarios as to the actual participation of any Administration personnel at the level you want to put people in jail. Mistakes were made, but not to the level you wanted them to have been made.

Unlike the litter of casual financial records that form a trail directly to high-level GOP members in both Congress and the current Administration.
