Jason Chaffetz: does he know something?

[madaboutharry]

Chaffetz was so dismissive of the Russian hacking and any investigation into a connection between Trump and the Kremlin it makes me wonder if he was in on it.

[dalton99a]

1. I doubt he knows his ass from a hole in the ground

[Alice11111]

2. Worst, most hypocritical, aggressively obtuse, piece ever!

Agressive piece of excrement. We must get rid of him and his evil, sinister, anorexic buddy TG

[madaboutharry]

9. Who is TG?

[CincyDem]

13. Trey Goudy I suspect of Ben Ghaaaaaaaa Zi fame. n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Knowing a little about Jason,

he is up to his eyeballs in this cover-up. He had a great teacher,Orin Hatch.

[2naSalit]

4. +1

[BadgerMom]

5. Hatch

President pro tem of the senate, AKA, fourth in the order of succession. UGH!

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Members of the Utah Freedom

Caucus.

[pbmus]

6. He is a weasel and they know a lot about where/how to get there next meal...

When the time comes he will be calling for the Big Cons head...

[delisen]

7. Would Comey have reported to him on the Russian hacking? n/t

[SleeplessinSoCal]

10. what about the Trump/Prince/Giuliani hack?

Are they informed of this story creeping around the last 24 hours?

16. I didn't see it, but wondering if Steele's findings went to NYC-FBI or DC FBI. Thought I read NY

but then couldn't find it. Why does it matter? Because NY FBI hates Clinton. Hates Lynch - since they think she and the people she left behind in Brooklyn who were loyal to her stifled their investigation. They wanted a grand jury and it was denied.

It was also said that NY was going to leak/speak about the emails found on Huma's computer and that is why Comey had to announce that. Think Comey may be more weak than purposely trying to influence the election at that last disclosure of reopening investigation.

Know almost zero about the FBI - but common sense tells me - that 9-11 probably set up the NY office as the most powerful. Comey may just be their stooge.

Kallstrom interview piece (former head of NY office FBI

PIRRO: So he wouldn’t have come out unless he knew it was coming out?

KALLSTROM: Well, I think he couldn’t hold onto it any longer. OK. Because who knows? Maybe the locals would have stepped in on this.

PIRRO: New York City [branch of the FBI] would have done it? That's my take.

KALLSTROM: Who knows. And then [Comey] would really be in the doghouse.

PIRRO: He'd be embarrassed. I think he had to do it.

20. Wonkette is on the case of the NYTimes.

Only the lowest tier of liberal investigators are finding and trying to get these discoveries to the surface so someone can expose them to the "press corps".

Even the Huffpost piece I found is difficult to locate on their site.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Still think there's a story behind what DC FBI does/did and what NYC FBI does/did. And, the

working relationship between these two groups. Steele, best I remember, faulted the NYC group for not responding - he had worked with them before. It's possible that DC was looking at Trump Russian connections and not NYC (who loves Trump and hates Clinton).

I am sure that Trump thinks all this will go away. Hope it's the first question they ask him at a news conference.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

22. it could be brought up at the NRA and SoS hearings.

It should be a Reality Show! Maybe ordinary Americans would hear about it that way.

[world wide wally]

11. All Republicans are in on it for God's sake.

Some just joined in after the fact.

[Raster]

12. Rep. Jason Chaffetz --R, Liar/Hypocrite/Traitor, UT--...

...Weasel-boy is in it, up to his weasily little eyes...

PRIMARY CHAFFETZ because Utah needs a Congressman that works for Utah, not the billionaire's cabal.

[Alice11111]

14. I keep hoping he will push it too far...hubris

...but since he is in a den of theives, he is their alpha dog

[Raster]

17. He WANTS to be their alpha dog.....

....unfortunately our boy Jason --R, Liar/Hypocrite/Traitor, UT-- has way to much of the WEASEL in him... Lord knows he'd like to think he was important. I think if we compared the exact timeframes that Comeygate happened, we *might* find that it *appears* that Chaffetz --R, Weasel- *may* have known about Comey's first letter before most, certainly before all of Team Clinton. That could even make him an ACCESSORY to the electoral malfeasance perpetrated by Comey and his "handlers."

[spanone]

15. aw, come on...he would be just as dismissive if it were Hillary and the russians....

[Gidney N Cloyd]

18. I think he's personally threatened by it somehow.

He's trying way too hard, and in an inelegant, clumsy manner, to sweep it under the rug.

[Alice11111]

19. Yep, something smells bad

but who would go after him? Risk of reputation to find hidden evidence that the Repubs are going to stonewall. Plus, they will be a pack of attack wolves. Maybe Fahrenthold of NY Times

[onenote]

23. I once had a meeting with him

And I don't think he knows anything about anything.

[AliasGrace]

24. Yes.

Yes. He does know something. Some of us tried to point it out at the time.

24 Oct- Trump's daughter-in-law hints on Fox they have things up their sleeve, October surprises

25 Oct- Rudy on Fox does same thing. Rudy's also been caught bragging about FBI contacts.

26 Oct- after Access Hollywood tape, Chaffetz couldn't get on CNN fast enough to say he could never vote for Trump, but on 26 October he suddenly tweets out he's back on the Trump train

28 Oct- Comey's letter comes out

Yes. He absolutely knew something, at least about FBI activities. It's obvious. It's been obvious for months.

And man, didn't Mitch seem really confidant about that Supreme Court seat? He didn't say a whole lot against Trump, either. And how about his wife's new cushy job in the administration?

Plenty of Republicans knew what was going on. Bet on it.
