Chaffetz, 50, in the past had considered running for a U.S. Senate seat. A former Chaffetz aide on Wednesday told Reuters the congressman may run for Utah governor in 2020, though no firm decision had been made yet.

If he's planning on running for office in the future then he wouldn't be talking about resigning early from the one he's got. That would kill any chances of being elected again.

WTF? Wonder if this is connected to his being a toothless tiger. Follow the money they say.

Maybe he’s ill and hasn’t said anything about it yet....

That's what I was thinking. At first he said he would not seek reelection when his present term expires. Now he's indicating that he may not even finish out his current term. Sounds like there's more to this than "I've had enough of Washington."

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”.


An affair most likely, IMO.

These days you have to ask, 'An affair with what?'.

Doesn’t matter, unfortunately. For Congress, you only need reside in the same state.

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.
