House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who stunned Washington with an announcement that he is not running for reelection, might not even finish his remaining term.
Chaffetz told KSL News Radio’s Doug Wright that he may not finish out his full term through 2018. But he said he’s still debating the decision amid uncertainty over how Utah would establish a process to replace him early.
"I will continue to weigh the options, but I might depart early," Chaffetz told the Utah radio host on Thursday.

Ever get the feeling that the deep state/shadow government has brownstoned just about everyone in D.C.?
Why would Hillary appear to be off the hook with that private server and the 650,000 gmail account emails? NYPD sickened by what was found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop, and they walk the streets free.
And to help him along, the Repub Elites will force Chaffetz to leave early, governor replaces him with McMuffin, and VOILA!, McMuffin is the incumbent.
Because of how the left has imposed organized hounding on him, for one thing. Normally, politicians leave for reasons that really aren’t family but it’s used as a frequent excuse.
Why did he keep his decision so quiet, not even bringing in UT GOP officials? I don’t know....maybe he’s got a wonderful family that is growing up quickly and he’s realized he’s missing out. Maybe there are problems at home. Maybe he’s involved in something within the swamp. Lot’s of questions about how he’s handled this though.
Exactly. Possibility of Arkancide would definitely cause someone to want to spend more time with family in Utah.
As someone whose district didn’t get a vote on Obamacare because our Critter got caught in a scandal and our gov refused to call a prompt special election, I take a really dim view of Critters who bail on their obligation to voters without a DAMN good reason.
Prolly the Russkies.
It is always more than that. This is congress for cryin’ out loud. Corrupt to the core.
“He fully explained he does not get much time with his family and wishes to spend time where important”
Well, I guess he doesn’t really practice his faith, because every Monday night is considered “Family Home Evening” in Mormon households.
Read Sundance's take on it over @ CTH. I think a poster noted, Hatch is going to stay he is a known quantity. Let's say he dies in office, they can then pick someone of substance etc for the special election ( yes that sounds very Deep State, I know...). Where as now McMuffin could run and you have a Franken if you will in the Senate. Chaffetz screwed the pooch twice, he back stabbed the Tea Party by hoping to get Hatch's seat, and then his Anti-Trump rant burnt that bridge. He is toast, my guess they now have something on him to get him out of their.
What if he is one of the leaker(s)?
Something's happening here
What it is is not exactly clear
Snort. We have the uniparty. Who needs the Russkies. Or the ChiComs. Or even bloody Islamists. Our greatest enemy is within.
This sounds a little fishy to me.
“He didn’t say a word about leaving early, and I think the media is making propaganda again...”
He said he was considering it on the KSL radio this morning, and has confirmed it to a number of journalists today:
“My future plans are not yet finalized but I haven’t ruled out the possibility of leaving early,” Chaffetz told CNN in a text message. “In the meantime I still have a job to do and I have no plans to take my foot off the gas.” http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/20/politics/jason-chaffetz-term-house-resign/index.html
Chaffetz says he may resign & MIGHT not finish his term. Says “plans are not yet finalized. But I haven’t ruled out..leaving early”

“Why not take a man for his word?”
Because he’s a Congressman.
I think because most think when they signed up for the job, took peoples money from donations, they knew darned well te demands of the job.
The usual unfounded allegations cooked up by the Soros smear machine...?
CNN and twitter??? When we have a talk radio program right here in Salt Lake City, Utah that is a local host who talks about and supports President Trump and asks questions that others don’t ask???
Nope, staying with what I hear yesterday in the real interview...thanks...
Something is definitely up if he can’t finish out another year.
Why couldn't he have realized that just a few months ago before he stood for reelection?
