But I have a duty and an obligation to actually fix the problems that were made with Hillary Clinton.One can understand how hard it must be for Chaffetz to let go of his dream. After all, the Utah congressman had planned his entire political future around riding Clinton scandals all the way to the Senate and possibly beyond. Having to become one of a dozen mealy-mouthed Trump toadies instead just doesn’t present the same opportunities for a man with Chaffetz’s towering ego and ambition.

Not to mention the fact that for some unknown reason he refuses to release his tax returns.
