Jason Chaffetz says he might step down before his term is over
NY POST ^ | April 20, 2017 | Mark Moore

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who announced he will not seek re-election in 2018, now says he might leave Congress even before his term ends, it was reported Thursday.

Chaffetz, who heads the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, told the Wall Street Journal that he’s still mulling over the timing of when he would leave Washington, DC.

​”​My future plans are not yet finalized but I haven’t ruled out the possibility of leaving early,” ​the Utah Republican told the newspaper. “In the meantime, I still have a job to do and I have no plans to take my foot off the gas.​”​

​Chaffetz, who launched investigations into Hillary Clinton for her handling of the deadly attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, while she was secretary of state, wrote about his intentions Wednesday on Facebook.

He’s getting squeezed on something. The hammer is going to drop on him.

Whatever, makes no difference. He’s accomplished nothing and never will accomplish anything.

He’s like every other useless GOP congress critter.

Some people are interpreting this as Chaffetz thinking of running for president.

The "evidence" is that somebody registered the domain names jason2028.com and jasonchaffetz2028.com.

Sounds like a crazy theory. Why leave Congress in 2018 if you're going to run 10 years down the road?

Honestly, if you are a politician, you should probably have someone on your staff whose sole job is online management including registering every permutation of domain names that might someday be useful.

Well, he’ll be leaving with his pension and life long perks intact. If in DC as an elected official, one wrong or questionable move while in office and the deep state owns your ass.

Who knows? This is very strange. Something is definitely coming out.

Maybe he is ill, has cancer, or there is some very private tragedy/issue involving his family that he needs to attend to.
