Look Jason, you need to set priorities. Maybe you shouldn't buy the latest iPhone and get a legal defense instead?

(32,641 posts)If Chaffetz was in collusion with the Russians along with Trump, then the Feds have him by the short-hairs.
It doesn't matter if he resigns or stays in, he's still going down.
But if he knows something about Trump & Putin and he didn't participate, then maybe he's got a good reason to get out now. (He's not guilty so why get caught up in this mess?)
Or maybe the Russians are blackmailing Chaffetz with something that could bring down Trump, then it's a third possibility. Maybe Trump is asking him to take one for the team, in other words get the hell out so they don't both go down.
The way Chaffetz acted like a team-bulldog before the election, I'd almost believe the 3rd scenario.

(11,989 posts)But he'd be fine if, upon resigning, he and his family were to move into, say, a nice villa outside Moscow.
But I think Cenk is probably right, he just want to get out of that oversight chair, because he smells what's coming, and as long as he's in that chair, either (a) he helps cover for Trump, or (b) he helps bring Trump down... and either of those would be a political nightmare for him personally.

Popcorn for all of us! I do mine on the stovetop and throw in real butter.
As for Chaffetz, something is going down. I mentioned in another thread that if he's not meeting daily with Boris and Natasha to hand over state secrets, maybe the conversion therapy didn't work as well as he told his wife it did and he's ready to run off with the man of his dreams.
Whatever is going on with this slick as snot on a doorknob lunatic, it's major because quitting this soon into a new term is really, really weird if it isn't.
So keep the popcorn hot and brace yourselves. If they ever admit the truth of what's going on, it's going to be extremely entertaining.

(9,426 posts)said that if Bannon is fired from the WH, he knows ALL the gossip. Who cheats on their wives, who parties, who consorts with "models and call girls" Maybe little Jason is afraid all his secrets will be exposed? He did not get those bags under his eyes from WORKING late. He is up to his elbows in something, and it is not good.
