When I was working for a homeless shelter in the 90s, I learned that crack junkies refer to the little bits of rock cocaine that you search around on the floor for, when start jonesing for that next fix, are called "floor boogers."
When we look at Jason Chaffetz re-investigating Benghazi, indicting some poor techie for the crime of hooking up Hillary Clinton's email server, you're seeing a sick man seeking the false comforts of his addictive substances. He's digging around for floor boogers to hit his next high, because he's been cut off from his regular Clinton supply.
He's an addict. And the longer it takes for him to "Clinton off", the more desperate he will become to feed his habit. The chairman needs a 12-step program.

He's playing to the base, plain and simple. It's all for the Fox news/Limbaugh junkies. Don't be surprised when this dude runs for president in '20.

(34,661 posts)Jason Chaffetz is following his script and that is to distract as many as possible to what will be happening in Congress. Remember what Robert Reich said,do not be fooled by what Trump is up to,watch what Ryan and McConnell are doing to dismantle Health Care and Strip the Tax Code in favor of the Mega Rich and Rip up Social Security and Medicare. And that is just a few of the things about to happen.
Little Jason is on a Religious Mission and that is to outdo Orin Hatch for his job.

(9,350 posts)I do not think this is part of an addiction. I think this is being done to provide a distraction from the problems that are occurring within the Trump Administration. I know Jason Chaffetz is always willing to investigate Hillary Clinton, but it seems the timing of this announcement corresponds to negative news stories coming out about Donald Trump. Chaffetz called for the Clinton staffer to be investigated after having his meeting with Donald Trump. I think Trump asked Chaffetz to make some sort of Clinton announcement in order to try to take attention away from the Trump White House scandals. I think this was also done to give red meat to the Trump supporters. Trump can now give speeches to his crowds saying that Chaffetz is calling for an investigation of Clinton's staffers, but the media just wants to focus on nonexistent Trump issues.
