Jason Chaffetz, the Utah congressman wrapping up his first term atop the powerful House Oversight Committee, unendorsed Donald Trump weeks ago. That freed him up to prepare for something else: spending years, come January, probing the record of a President Hillary Clinton.

“It’s a target-rich environment,” the Republican said in an interview in Salt Lake City’s suburbs. “Even before we get to Day One, we’ve got two years’ worth of material already lined up. She has four years of history at the State Department, and it ain’t good.”

Democrats will not have to make up outrages when there are so many to chose from on a daily basis.

They (the Dems) will investigate BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR LEVERAGE.

Why is it so hard for Democrats to recognize that Republicans play a strong offensive game against our Dem leaders BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO CREATE LEVERAGE TO IMPROVE THEIR CHANCES WITH LEGISLATIVE OBJECTIVES.

So, in sum. You can go hard on Trump and the Republicans and still come up with good legislation. Maybe better.

He and other Pubs are begging the investigations to come down hard so they can assume the victim position.

That's going to be their strategy.
