CNN Asks GOP Slime, Chaffetz if He's Seeking a Fox Job

Chaffetz declined to answer Wolf Blizer's direct questions about his future. Chafezz told Blitzer he was leaving congress before completing his term.....wait for it..."To spend more time with my family".

Earlier during the interview, Blitzer asked Caffetz if he would subpoena Mike Flynn's security clearance applications. Chaffetz said "no" he'd seen them already and it was Obama Admin's mistake for clearing Flynn. A lot of back and forth arguing ensued about the validity of Chaffetz's claim against Obama, and Blitzer just gave up on the issue.

Good riddance Chaffetz, Fox can have your lying, sorry ass.

To be bubba's prison wife. I think bubba prefers syrup over grape jelly.

signs of stress. I've seen some reports on DU about a cloud hanging over his head, but it must have passed and now he believes he's in the clear.

I will always have very ill feelings about the way he treated HRC. He deserves a toasty spot in hell.

It was so nauseating. "I love my wife!" "The Trumps have bent over backwards..yada yada yada. He looked way too happy and relieved for my taste. I am feeling sick.

6. The worst part of that interview

was Chaffetz blaming Obama for Flynn being ok to hire, not even acknowledging the Security Clearance he had under Obama was different than one for being on NSC and/or the fact Obama fired Flynn.

But he finally changed the topic because he couldn't get Chaffetz to back down.
