Former Bush lawyer ‘congratulates’ Jason Chaffetz for leaving Congress: If you can’t do the job right, quit

Riichard Painter, President George W. Bush’s former ethics attorney, celebrated the announcement that Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) would not be seeking reelection in 2018.

“Good decision Rep. Chaffetz. If you can’t do a job right, quit and do something else,” Painter said on Twitter Wednesday.

Then he took it a bit further to criticize president Donald Trump along with Chaffetz: “And you, Mr. President?”

Painter has made news over the last several months for joining former President Barack Obama’s ethics lawyer Norman Eisen in criticizing the complicated ethics of Trump and his staff. He specifically took aim at Trump’s eldest daughter Ivanka Trump for her position in the administration, calling it outright unlawful.

12. I like the cut of this Painter's jib

He seems like a true Goldwater-type conservative - not one of these latter-day lying, rock hard for their side un-servatives.

offer him a slot. Speaking truth to power and having immense credibility. Do we really need blond wannabes?
