Every time any investigation starts to zero in on Michael Flynn, the traitor who appeared with Putin and Jill Stein on RT, heads roll, people recuse themselves, or something else happens to stall the investigation. The latest to do so is Jason Chaffetz [R-UT]. even though his outward explanation appears innocent enough.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, was recovering in a University Hospital room Thursday after getting foot surgery to address complications from a previous injury.
He’ll remain at the hospital for a few days, according to a news release from Chaffetz’s office, just as Congress is negotiating a spending bill in an attempt to avoid a government shutdown.
Chaffetz expects to be sidelined for three or four weeks while he recovers from the surgery, in which 14 screws and a metal plate were removed from his foot. He had shattered several bones in his foot 12 years ago, he said, when he fell off a ladder while working in his garage. The pain recently flared up again, according to the congressman, and doctors removed the hardware to reduce the risk of an infection…

Now I have no doubt that he really had the surgery, but if you think that was really the reason for his sudden departure from Washington in the midst of investigation into Flynn, please contact me about the wonderful bridge I’m selling… cheap.
Rachel Maddow covered this issue in two segments. In the first she shows how Trump and his Reich overreact anytime investigation of Flynn rears up.
In the second, she shows just how this applies to Chaffetz.
Now that you see it in context, it’s quite obvious, isn’t it?
RESIST!!

Ahh….the coverup is getting uncovered….I hope they get this started, and quick!
If you are interested in TC's bridge, I have some lovely swamp land in the sand dunes for sale also. Funny how a twelve-year-old surgery is now a "medical emergency." I can and do believe further work was needed, but "emergency"? I don't think that word means what he thinks it means.
So they actually thought they could control the investigation of they confined it to "retired-officer-takes-money-from-foreign government"? Oh. My. God. They. Are. Dumb!! Or else, as Rachel says, there is so much there …
Not that Mad Dog Mattis is the answer to an American's prayer, but I am surely glad he is the one from a Sea Service and Flynn is not.
I recognize Adam Schiff from the Intelligence committee behind Cummings – who is the other guy?
I know not everyone is into opera, and that's fine, but anyone who is – in the second act of La Boheme – Jason Chaffetz as Musetta? LOL !!!
I don't know. With my vision, I don't recognize people well.
It probably isn't important, I was just curious. Someone may know.
I hope so.
Chaffetz should hide, he is probably as guilty as Flynn.
As I noted yesterday, "There was an article in Daily Kos about why Chaffetz was resigning. It sounds like an old fashioned mystery novel with Chaffetz definitely not wearing the white hat. Think Russians, kompromat, and campaign fraud. Spicey stuff."
To paraphrase Elizabeth Barrett Browning: How do I screw you, let me count the ways. Chaffetz is alledgedly linked into the Russia debacle, into campaign fraud, into ethics violations, and, according to some reports, an illicit affair. All that is on top of his so called "emergency" condition. He is done in Washington and I hope he sees the inside of a prison cell for a goodly stretch.
Resist and Persist!!!
The Mike Flynn investigation seems to be the gateway to the Russian connection of Drumpf et al. and by now it should be obvious to the American public that the number of people involved in that is growing by the day through the amateurish cover up and attempts to ward of further investigation. The Senate Intelligence committee is doing nothing in terms of investigating or hearing, and McConnell will keep it that way until he is investigated himself, and the House Intelligence Committee, by way of Chaffetz, is not only stalling but in fact covering up and hindering any ongoing investigation.
I'm a great admirer of Cummings and he's not a man easily stopped from doing the best he can do for his country, but he can't get past the blockades Republicans have put up in tis so called bipartisan Committee. Some Committee members, like Chaffetz, should be under investigation themselves for their part in the White House cover up. It's time to call on the RESISTANCE and take to the streets to DEMAND an independent investigation. Remember:
FIGHT EVERY FIGHT
with
PASSION & GUMPTION
Cummings will never give up and that will help keep the issue alive.
Of course Chaffetz is going into hiding. He has shown none of the zeal and vigor like he did in going after Hillary. He wasted millions of dollars in going after Hillary all the while he has not initiated any kind of effort in going after Drumpf. Could it be that he knows more than he is willing to say anything about Drumpf and does not want to "dirty" his hands and fingers in this case on Drumpf. After all, he is planning to run for Governor of the Great State of Utah. Chaffetz is just ducking out of this situation as much as he can and, perhaps, as not to be part of the "great" cover-up.

Thanks all! Hugs!
Chafetz: Not foot in mouth disease???????
Mike Flynn??
Mike Fynn??
Mike Flynn?
Maybe we ought to innocently surround the W.H. and do a spontaneous lifting of signs tht say "Mike Flynn?" like those flash mobs.
