and that if the contents of Russia's dossier on him is made public, he will be ruined. Everyone knows that Putin hacked the GOP's e-mails but withheld the contents. I am assuming that Chaffetz' aversion to investigating the national crisis that Russia's purchase of our presidency represents goes deeper than partisan politics. We can't let his fear of personal humiliation sink this. Retaliatory release of GOP e-mails by Wikileaks would be a delicious bonus.
