Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, on Monday repeated his call for individuals leaking classified information to the public or press to be jailed, saying he wants to see these “people behind bars.”

“They have got to get after these leaks,” Chaffetz told host Martha MacCallum on Fox’s “The Story.” “I want people in handcuffs and I want to see people behind Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is retiring from Congress at the end of the month. For now, he oversees a congressional committee investigating Russia’s election meddling and said leaking intel is a bipartisan matter.

“I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat, doesn't what administration. When you have classified information, you cannot put that out there just because you think it would be a good idea,” he added.

Yeah.....sure. You do not have to go far Chaffetz. McCains office in same building as yours.

[Paladin2]

I’m coming to the conclusion that Chaffetz needs to be in a straight-jacket.

[thoughtomator]

He’s got one, but it looks like a charade, like everything else in Washington.

[Jeff Chandler]

POLL: Should news organizations who publish classified information be prosecuted?

No, they are protected by the First Amendment.

Yes, they are committing a crime.

Not sure.

This thing reads like a chop suey menu..................

Sessions needs to cuff this guy now.

[Clay Moore]

I want thousands of lampposts in DC festooned with traitors.

[Gene Eric]

Chaffetz, Issa, and to a lesser extent Gowdy are pretty good at diffusing the serious DC issues that face the Country.

And what effect do "headlineofthe day.com" polls have, except to serve as click-bait?

Yeah, well, you’re a worthless turd, Chaffetz. You are in one of the very most important positions of public office to at least shine a light on these problems, and you are bailing out on us. You can’t even complete your elected two-year term while you are CHAIRMAN of the govt oversight committee, no, you are abandoning your post for MSM comfort.

Thanks for nothing, Chairman Chaffetz.

Chaffetz you have had how many years to put people in ‘handcuffs’ and what have you done??? NOTHING!!!

So NOW since your leaving you want to make a name for yourself??? The only people you want in HANDCUFFS are young, pretty things!!!

[SaveFerris]

Yes, Ted Lieu should be in prison right now for conspiracy to commit espionage.

He wants to be an activist? He can wipe the license plates that Reality Winner just made.

Right at the top of the criminal pyramid, alongside her buddy BamBam.

As we all know, that’s why BamBam “wrote his memoirs” for a month outside the CONUS. He was expecting it to happen, after all of his crimes.

So far, the only people arrested are gang members. This is good!

However, there are a load of others, Americans, who should be arrested.

Governors, Mayors, and school administrators harboring ILLEGAL aliens should be in jail.

If I were Sessions, I'd ask to re-open Alcatraz and throw Jerry Brown and Mayors of San Francisco and LA behind the bars on that island. .
