Chaffetz: we will jail White House leakers

Fire Andrea Mitchell ^ | 05-21-2017

[Kevin in California]

Jason Chaffetz is a big time talker and never any action. So I’ll take his claim on the Sunday news shows today that when White House leakers are found, he wants to throw them in jail. Yea, umm, it’s a felony.

[semimojo]

Yea, umm, it’s a felony.

Only if the leaked info is classified.

There's plenty of stuff coming from this crew that's just good old gossip.

[bigbob]

Hey, he’s every bit as effective as Darrel Issa or Trey Gowdy.

[AndyJackson]

One of the amusing issues raised by Comey in his March 20, 2017 testimony is the question - when folks claim to leak information from intelligence sources, falsely, and when the information isn't an actual disclosure of sensitive classified information, what crime was committed.

IOWs, to expand on his point and speculate on where he was going, the leaks were not leaks; they were fabrications dressed up like leaks to give them credibility they might not otherwise have.

Now, it seems to me that if you spread around concocted information with the intention of getting the government to investigate someone when there is no evidence of a crime, you have in fact obstructed justice. It is also slander, even against a public official, since it is clearly spread knowing it is not true and for a malicious purpose.

Right Chaffetz...your such a phony you stink!!!

YOU have done NOTHING for Utah or for America the whole time you have been back there except put money into your own pockets, just like the rest of the idiots that we idiots keep electing!!!

[Nifster]

How would I know. I don’t keep track of quitters

[dforest]

What?

[Daniel Ramsey]

Simple solution, turn the WH into a museum.

Do the real business at Camp David.

Funny nobody says anything about that place.

[Mamzelle]

Chaffetz is such a disgusting tool. I’m glad he’s slinking out the door this summer.

[wardamneagle]

And the Hillary Bengahzi hearings perjury charge ?

[phoneman08]

Yes he is. He is part of the Romney, McMullan, McCain cabal. This SOB has a meeting with Comey this week. They are up to something.

[Parley Baer]

“And this will happen when......before or after you leave your seat?”

Exactly. He is supposed to be leaving sometime in June the last I saw.

[txhurl]

Mormon mafia.

[marygam]

Exactly! This guy and Gowdy make my blood boil. They have all the evidence they have needed to bring down the swamp critters, and all they do is talk, talk, talk!

[lee martell]

Is that quote supposed to shake and reverberate as a quote by Nikita Khrushchev’s “We Will BURY You!!” did in 1956?

[grania]

I fear for the administration's ability to turn this around if the leakers from within the Oval Office haven't been taken away in handcuffs before President Trump returns to DC. He's getting some real bad advice from probably traitorous people in the inner circle if they're telling President Trump that establishment DC pubs wouldn't gleefully get Trump out of there.

I'm wondering if away from DC Trump isn't being handed all kinds of terrific intel by other countries about who the traitors are.

Barking dogs seldom bite.

[Cobra64]

Really? Weasel Rinsed Penis has been sent home?

[boop]

"I wonder if someone has some dirt on him?"

Make bank on that.

Nobody, I mean NOBODY in his position just "resigns" without a good reason.

Some higher-up in the deep state probably has some kiddie rape/porno videos of this guy.

Rather than going to Fox, he should just shut his fat yap, pronto.

[PghBaldy]

He is returning to USA early. All over the news. At least one article (Fox Business) says his job in jeopardy. The Hill says it is for budget issues.
