Jason Chaffetz lied. The investigation is not reopened.

There is going to be some major backpedaling on this within hours. I believe this will backfire on Chaffetz, particularly if Comey delivers a smack down for the lie, which I believe he has to.

1. Not what CNN is saying. The damage is done unless this is dealt with immediately. The msm

coverage could not be worse. They are throwing around words like "indictment" and saying dems will not win senate now. That is how bad it is.

3. I don't think it is unfair to compare GOP tactics to the McCarthy Era. (eom)

2. Chaffetz is not a critical thinker

He didn't take the time to comprehend Comey's letter, got himself excited, and ran to Twitter without knowing the facts.

Shame on the media for not bothering to pick up the damn phone and verify things from an original source.

4. Comey has to hold a press conference ASAP on this matter and come clean on all of it

or it will linger and stink up the place

[VOX]

5. MSNBC also going with "reopening" language...

For now, at least.

Chaffetz is a world-class asshole (can't repeat this often enough).

6. Wow! Jason Chaffetz lie? Who'd a thunk a repuke would lie? eom

7. He should be censured

IMO.
