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.

Yep - I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
What will it be?
He was going against Trump a little a month or so ago.
Doesn’t matter, unfortunately. For Congress, you only need reside in the same state.
I wonder what the NSA and the democrats have on him?

In another thread about this it talks about how he hitched his wagon to the GOPe some years ago and stabbed the TEA Party in the back. Back back is a bitch.
