Utah politicians do the darnedest things

wow, there is a god

CNN‏


Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz announces he will not seek re-election to Congress in 2018 http://cnn.it/2oOkfTy

Speculation is he's doing this so he can run for governor in 20/20....so your opening may be slightly off.

There really isnt any question that is why. He has been eyeing the gub job for a while. having to defend Trump for 4 years would make it much more difficult, as his town hall proved.

Basically the same reason that Romney did not run for re election as governor when he wanted to run for president.

IMHO, Chaffetz is a phony, hypocritical self-promoter. Doesnt have an ounce of integrity, as everyone who has ever worked with or for him will tell you.

somehow I hope Spencer Cox beats him for the nomination.

Ugh, what a nightmare for Utah. I hope there is an opposition ad featuring all Chaff's missed FG's in college.

I know this statement is true. INOJCA

I'm wondering if Chaffetz has seen enough to know that Trump is going down over the Russian ties, and so he's getting out before he has to be a part of the investigation and impeachment. If the evidence against Trump is as bad as some say it is, there will be no place to find political cover for Republicans.

Rumors are he will resign tomorrow. All of this seems so odd--that there is something we dont know about, that may be more personal than Trump's Russia ties. But maybe thos ties are such that Chaeffetz does not want to be in the position of having to investigate them.
