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