U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz, the Republican chairman of a House committee with broad investigative powers, said on Thursday that it is possible he could leave office before his term finishes next year, The Wall Street Journal reported.
"My future plans are not yet finalized, but I haven't ruled out the possibility of leaving early," Chaffetz told the Journal a day after the Utah congressman announced he would not run for re-election in 2018.
Chaffetz could not be reached immediately for comment.
Utah state officials have begun making plans for a special election to replace Chaffetz in his heavily Republican district, the newspaper reported, citing Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox.

Weird.
usually, when people quit their job this way, there’s a reason. There has to be more to this than “I want to spend more time with my family”.
Someone told him it’s going to get bloody in DC
I sensing the DOJ is going to break out the wood chipper.
He’s most certainly been caught doing something illegal or immoral.
It’s just not public yet.
Now what?
Outwardly it looks like Deep State CIA creep Egg McMuffin wants his seat. And his gang probably have more than enough deep info to nudge Chaffetz out of the way.
Maybe he’s ill and hasn’t said anything about it yet....
Health?
Something big is going on, or just about to. He’s not just leaving, he’s fleeing.
Why can’t this be Comey or McCabe talking?
They are among the real and present dangers.
I argued with a FReeper today because yesterday I heard Jason on our local talk show, and Rod asked him if he was going to finish out his term and he said YES...
...and now I hear that he isn’t...just goes to show you, you can’t believe a politician no matter who they are, or where they are from...
To that FReeper that I argued with this morning, sorry, I’m not surprised, but more disappointed...and I’m sure there are a lot of other people here in Salt Lake City that are also...
Wait and see.
nope.
Seems he was all hat and no cattle.
Was he violating farm animals?
From all accounts, he wants to run for governor. It takes time and fundraising to make a realistic run.
Word on the street is that he wore a blonde wig past O’Reilly’s office as a gag, and that’s when the trouble began.
