Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah) is taking a leave of absence from Congress to undergo "immediate" foot surgery and is expected to return in mid-May.
Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, shared a photo to his Instagram on Wednesday showing an x-ray of a previously repaired broken foot with 14 screws and a metal plate in it, Politico reported.
The lawmaker said doctors are now recommending that he have the hardware removed or "be at risk for serious infection." Chaffetz originally sustained the injury falling off a ladder nearly 12 years ago.

That photo in this thread is what I believe the kids refer to as a “mike drop moment”. Well done!

Paying for his Benghazi truth search and calling out the traitors. Prayers for chaffetz. I always enjoy he and Sen Lee with their bulldog tenacity.

Whatever they have on him has him running...away from the ‘swamp critters’ and St. Hillary for sure...
I don’t think we have a ‘Fort Marcy Park’ here in Utah, guess I had better check...
Seemed funny to me the other day when he came out with Cummings on that Flynn report, not like him to do this...

Chaffetz is a nasty never trumper and I’m glad to get him out of town under any pretext...BUT...I wonder what’s really going on here. In the space of a month we read that he might run for the Senate in UT...then that he might not even run for re-election and then that he definitely won’t run, for anything. Now he’s on Leave of Absence. Something’s going on with this guy.

Three to four weeks?
My husband did not get that for spinal surgery.
The political class really are different from you and me.

Chaffetz and all the rest of the pubbie chairmen of these "Oversight" committees are all kabuka theater performers. All show, no go, no results except a report after 2,3, or 4 years of 10 second sound bites.
