I’d fire them on the spot. All of them.

Check each of these twerps for leakage

Aren’t half the staffers Republicans? I can’t imagine they would walk.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Many senior and long-time staffers of the House Oversight Committee plan a walkout when Congressman Trey Gowdy takes the gavel over from Jason Chaffetz

Because they don't want to get to the truth they are so invested in the lies they are petulant children some of those lies took years and BIG money to cultivate they can't take the chance on being discovered

Clean house
No come to work, no job

The true power on Capitol Hill is the staff. They never go away, they write the bills that the elect don’t read, they are the anonymous sources and they are the conduits of the lobbyists money.

Winning.

SCARY to learn that such emotional infants had such important positions. Don't want to work with the new boss? I'm sure there are lots of qualified folks who would love your job. FIRE THEM!!

Good

The RINOs work well with the enemy within the midst. Is it any surprise that Washington DC is a den of snakes, a pit of vipers, a hellhole of treasonous bastards doing all possible to destroy the nation?

[Ann Archy]

How infantile....Gowdy is as useless as Chaffetz.

[T-Bird45]

FTA: Additionally, Jason Chaffetz has not been seen at work “for three months” and generally only appears when cameras are rolling.

I thought this was the central part of the job description for a Congresscritter.

At first glance, I thought that a committee staff of 90 hardly represents a "massive" walkout. But assuming an average staff weight of 180 lbs, the total is 16,200 lbs -- a considerable amount of dead weight!

In other words, Trey Gowdy, a former prosecutor, is going to bring in his own staff. The current staff, primarily Democrats from BYU, is fleeing to K-Street gigs.

I don't see how this is a bad thing.

The “Committee” has a staff? Is this real? Or is this just fake news? If this is true, we have found an initial target for swamp draining. Not just this committee, but all of them. Too much money being spent on ..... creatures of no value.

[Rusty0604]

Out of the committee staff of ninety, only two junior staff are republicans.

[trebb]

Hell of a blizzard - snowflakes everywhere we look....

Pathetic, emotionally crippled misfits are as pathetic, emotionally crippled misfits do...

[Lion Den Dan]

Walk out to the unemployment line.

[arthurus]

The ones who should be fired are identifying themselves. Efficient, no?

[mulligan]

Praise the Lord.

Never heard of this blogger but assuming all is true, did any of the hysterical posters read the whole thing? If you read all the way through and can understand English, you find:

1. The massive departure is not quantified, but may be broken down into Mormon staffers from Utah who will leave with Chaffetx.
2. Gowdy is expected to replace some staff with Republicans since most are Democrats.

I fail to see any problem except that the headline maybe should read: Gowdy expected to clean house in committee staff.
