Yesterday, Jason Chaffetz was interviewed on the program “Full Measure.” In it, he proclaimed that no one in America is above the law. In his role as Goverment Oversight Committee Chairperson, Chaffetz was a lead player in investigating Hillary Clinton. The government spent over $100 million on all of its separate investigations of her email server, Benghazi involvement, and others. www.newstalkflorida.com/… But Chaffetz was not done with her. Had she been elected, he planned years of further investigations, without a single ounce of proof that she had displayed any criminal intent or behavior.
However, during the course of his “Full Measure” interview, Chaffetz was asked by host Sharyl Attksisson about the investigation into Trump/Russia ties.
Sharyl: What about the hottest topic in the media, the question of Russia’s interference in the U.S. election?
Sharyl: What is your understanding of the evidence as you know it?
Rep. Chaffetz: Well we rely heavily on Devin Nunez as the Chairman of the Intel Committee, as well as Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat. You can't just rely on the New York Times, but even the New York Times said there was no direct evidence that tied any of this together. So, let's be vigilant, let's understand that some of these bigger nation states; they're not necessarily our friends, they're not trying to do us a favor. The Russians, the Chinese, others are constantly trying to probe us, trying to affect our nation, they're constantly spying on us. This is not breaking news. How you deal with it is interesting. So, to suggest that this was somehow Donald Trump's fault or problem, it really does kind of mystify me.
drkathie: What mystifies me is how Chaffetz can continue to be in denial about classified information that some have seen, and some, such as Adam Schiff, have proclaimed is “not just circumstantial.” See www.theatlantic.com/….
drkathie: What mystifies me is how he can choose to “rely heavily on Devin Nunes,” a partisan well on his way to being discredited for his midnight romp to the White House to disclose classified information that should have been disclosed first to the intelligence committee.
drkathie: What mystifies me further is that James Comey, director of the FBI, can spell out in public that there are ties between the Russians government and Trump surrogates that are under investigation. However, Jason Chaffetz, continuing to be in denial, has morphed into a Trump surrogate on his own.
At the townhall for Jason Chaffetz, his constituents and others in the audience chanted, “Do Your Job.” Too bad he still refuses. Here is the video and text of the Full Measure interview: fullmeasure.news/…
