Last night, Stephen Tryon posted a diary here excoriating Jason Chaffetz for his "overzealous partisanship". It has since slipped off the list. I want to provide another opportunity for people to give it a look.
Chaffetz the Hillary Hunter Rides Again
Jason Chaffetz lost no time in misrepresenting the facts regarding today’s announcement from the FBI. As usual, he has no regard for the truth or for his duty as a representative of the people. I had a secret clearance when I was 18, a top secret clearance when I was 33, and I have been a courier of classified information all over the world, including in and around Washington DC. And I can tell you that all of this hubbub about Hillary Clinton’s emails is a bunch of politically motivated nonsense that has nothing to do with national security.
Chaffetz has a huge lead in this election but we shouldn’t give up. What Chaffetz did on friday was beyond the pale. He harps on about supposed mishandling of “secrets” by Clinton, then turns around and leaked Comey’s letter to the media in a blatant political move. He should be taken to account for his actions. The media are slathering over this latest bs but we can use it to our advantage by keeping this outrageous act by Chaffetz in the light.
Please support Stephen P Tryon in his bid to oust Jason Chaffetz from Utah's 3rd Congressional District.
