Discussion: Chaffetz Hits McCarthy Again On Benghazi Committee Remark (VIDEO)

Discussion for article #241279

McCarthy and McConnell–the Micky D-ification of American government. Fast and cheap, but not good.

So Chaffetz is waffling on his vote for McCarthy? Or no?

“To suggest that there was any sort of political motivation, it’s not fair to Mr. Gowdy, it’s not fair to myself and most importantly it’s not fair to those four families who lost their loved ones. That’s not why we’re doing this,” Chaffetz said.

Chaffetz went on to say that the above is, “The operative statement. McCarthy’s is now inoperative”.(with thanks to Ron Zielgler, Nixon’s press secretary)

For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

“I think he should withdraw that statement”

Right after you withdraw your accusations about Benghazi, which several investigations and reports have already concluded are entirely unsubstantiated, you lying sack of partisan filth.

And while you’re at it, withdraw your fucking head from your ass, apologize for lying on the floor of the House during a congressional hearing and withdraw your propaganda chart from the public record.

Hey Chaffetz, maybe you could show us a chart which illustrates how wrong McCarthy’s statement was using nonsensical arrows and no labels on the axes. That would really drive the point home.

The Benghazi committee really belongs to former car thief Darrell Issa. Darrell Issa fabricated evidence, doctored documents and emails and constructed the fictional narratives that the current committee is treating as evidence to sabotage Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz stole the committee from its rightful owner – Issa the former car thief.

Wasn’t there allegations of arson, also?

I don’t know about the arson. I think he was able to use his connections to get away almost scot free. He used to target men and women in uniform in his nefarious activities.

Chaffetz is a Mormon convert. For the rest of his life he will strive to prove his worthiness. So he gets himself wrapped around the axle of any issue that he can use for his own glorification. He is an errand boy sent by grocery clerks.

Totally unfair to all the other Republicans who’ve worked so tirelessly to avoid blurting out the truth.

I looked it up. There were allegations of arson, but nothing was proven:

Adkins, who still worked for Steal Stopper, said that Issa removed the company’s Apple II computer from the building, including “all hardware, all software, all the instruction books,” and also “the discs for accounts payable, accounts receivable, customer list, everything.” According to Adkins, Issa also transferred a copy of every design used by Steal Stopper from a filing cabinet to a fireproof box. He also said that Issa put in the box some important silk screens used in the production of circuit boards. Insurance officials noted that, less than three weeks before the fire, Issa had increased his insurance from a hundred thousand dollars to four hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars. “Quite frankly,” Adkins told the investigator, “I feel the man set the fire.”

So did the insurance company. They finally settled out of court for about $20,000, which was a fraction of what Issa had sued them for.

Chaffetz says this about McCarthy "“To suggest that there was any sort of political motivation, it’s not fair…!!” He says this two days after this incident on the Planned Parenthood CEO interrogation“It comes straight from your annual reports.”…siting a graph on Planned Peranthhoods rise on abortion services and decrease in Cancer & Other Screening services. He was then corrected as follows by Ms Richards: “My lawyers just informed me that the source of this information is Americans United for Life, an anti-abortion group. I would check your source.”

Now you tell me Mr Chaffetz that house investigative committees run by republicans are NOT politically motivated! Liar, liar (yelling from the gallery).

This guy has his own credibility problems, particularly after the stunt he pulled with Cecile Richards.
