This is Chaffetz:

[malaise]

19. +1,000

Fuck that snake

[L. Coyote]

2. There is a rumor of personal indiscretions

Link to tweet

Not sure what she means by "turned." Not sure in which direction. Towards the FBI or the Russians?

[Me.]

10. Towards 45

Refusing to investigate

12. I think she means he became an agent for Russia

...in some form or fashion.

This would make sense, given that he's telegraphing some sort of 'affair' and that he's focusing on his family, blah, blah...

It really does look like he's compromised his seat through some misbehavior or transgression he believes is going to be publicly revealed in the near future.

[Renew Deal]

13. He also suddenly re-endorsed Trump just prior to the Comey letter

It was so obvious he was in on it

[ellie]

3. I just read in another thread

that he is going to be outed for an affair.

[rusty fender]

14. When will he ever

be able to look his daughter in the eye

[bigtree]

16. ouch

[uponit7771]

23. sting...

[L. Coyote]

28. Super PAC took $2 million from a pro-Putin Ukrainian businessman last election cycle

[get the red out]

4. It was suggested he will run for Gov

But Utah had it's most recent Gov race back in November. So that doesn't make a great deal of sense at this stage of the game.

5. Read Jennifer Rubin's column

in today's WP.

[brush]

6. Did he really change his name from Chavez to Chaffetz?

[LeftInTX]

24. No

He switched his religion from Jewish to Mormon

[brush]

30. Oh. But still quite a switch. From Jewish to Mormon.

Guess it's done, especially in Utah by ambitious pols.

[bettyellen]

32. Jen could have waited till he died for the mormons to baptize him, LOL!

Sorry but I find that practice hilarious!

[hrmjustin]

7. Someone probably found out something he didn't want them to know.

Perhaps Putin or the FBI

[KittyWampus]

8. Long term affair with another woman. Cheated on his wife.

[Iggo]

9. I wonder if he'll be prayerfully sorry about that.

I love when they prayerfully do shit.

[Renew Deal]

11. Is there any other way?

lol

[2naSalit]

15. I don't think that one

travels far in Utah, misogyny is the name of the game in the mainstream culture.

I suspect he's about to be outed for something way worse like treason. He ram-rodded all those hearings by rapid firing his loaded questions and did not allow the person testifying to actually speak and he was allowed by his fellow Rs to do so. Because it was the shiny object that would put not only Clinton but many others in a jaded position in the eyes of the public. So he spewed BS at them in an accusatory manner and refused to allow them to do what they were summoned there to do.

Fuck him, and I hope he spends a lot of time in prison when this all comes crumbling down. I also suspect that we, as a nation, are in for something akin to the Nuremberg Trials in the near future.

[bigtree]

18. maybe something to do with the WH scramble to cover for Trump's 'wiretap' tweet

...the questionable effort had tentacles into both the House and Senate investigative committees.

[Qutzupalotl]

25. Louise Mensch is saying Russians used blackmail to get him to accept laundered money:

21. He's probably going down like Flynn

Just speculation though.

[Freethinker65]

27. He caught himself looking into his daughter's eyes

[yodermon]

29. UPDATE:A Utah source now confirming that Chaffetz resignation expected as early as tomorrow.

Link to tweet

[brush]

33. Damn! They must have the goods on him.

They are toppling — all these repugs holding the reigns of power are crumbling.

We still have the very top ones to go yet.

Come on, Comey.

What are you waiting for?

[mzteaze]

31. The fact

The fact that he's announcing now AHEAD of any known scandal suggests IMHO is bigger than an affair.
