ALPINE — Utah will lose perhaps its most visible member of Congress when Rep. Jason Chaffetz leaves office before his fifth term ends to pursue a job in the private sector.

The conservative Republican announced Thursday that he would resign effective June 30, saying it's time for him and his wife, Julie, to move on from that part of their lives.

That is exactly what I am thinking as well. Makes no sense. He is bailing to avoid exposure of something.

Dead girl or live boy? Honestly, I think he just doesn’t want to defend POTUS. Supposedly he is looking at running for governor of Utah.

I heard that he will soon be on what remains of Fox News.
I never saw him as a particularly engaging personality.

He is going to work for the Dukakis foundation.

Just a joke...but close enough to the truth that someone might believe it.

Seems a little unusual to leave a $174,000 job 6 months after you've been re-hired.

Whatever the cause is, it must be baaaaaaad. (Sorry!)

Rumor has it the deep state threatened his family. He doesn’t want his wife or kids to get “Seth Riched”.

Doubtful a big player in the Mormon Mafia is in fear of the Deep State. More likely the Mormon hierarchy has something they believe is more important for him to do.

There are reports he will head a major lobbyist group and blather on Fox News. Chaffetz is only 50. I predict a run for president 2020 or later in an attempt to fulfill the White Horse Prophecy. Romney redux.

Joe Scarboro announced his quitting several years back about this time to ‘spend more time with his family.’ It was to be effective in September when his kids went back to school. Even the ‘conservatives’ are phony.

He’s in fear. Trying to avoid being Vince Foster-ized.

Surprising the swamp dweller is voluntarily leaving. He was always with that stupid cheshire cat grin and I couldn't stand the guy.

This graphic of him is very appropriate.
