Jason Chaffetz, who recently stepped down from the House of Representatives and into a Fox News gig, wondered why congressional investigators are focusing on Jared Kushner instead of Chelsea Clinton.

Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and White House senior adviser, released an 11-page statement detailing his contacts with Russian officials during the campaign ahead of his closed-door hearing with congressional lawmakers — and Chaffetz echoed President Donald Trump’s recent Twitter complaints.

“Republicans need to get a backbone,” Chaffetz said. “Every time the Democrats say they need to call up Jared Kushner or Don Jr. — call up Chelsea Clinton, call up the Clintons.”

1. Why is Congress questioning Jared Kushner and not Chelsea Clinton for Benghazi?

Umm gee I dunno Jason...maybe because Jahhr-uhhd has a security clearance and is a close adviser to the President of the United States, whereas Chelsea Clinton is a mostly inconsequential private citizen who happens to be the daughter of the former Secretary of State and has the misfortune of carrying the surname Clinton?

9. Republicans need to get a backbone.

No, Mr. Chafe-ass. Republicans need to get brains and hearts - the kinds of hearts that allow for empathy, respect, and decency.

Its like a mental disorder. If someone said 'cornflakes', he would scream, 'Clinton!'
