Interesting. I wonder what is behind this move.
Is it possible that he knows he is in the 1.2 million pages of documents that the DOJIG has started to release. Maybe he wants to be ahead of the calls for him to resign the committee chairmanship, (and possibly not run for re-election)?
Workload. From his letter:
” . . . Four committee assignments, including a Chairmanship, is a challenging workload. . .”
Sounds like some on this thread think he’s resigning from the House, but he’s just dropping one committee assignment.
