2. Chaffetz quietly declassified it before giving the info to Comey.

He wasn't spose to declassify it.
Then he quietly exited the scene.

He can still be charged for that move but we'll hear nothing of his dirty deed until someday when/if he's brought to question for it.
It might happen when Trump & the Republican party is gone & splintered, & all can finally be made right again.

He sent it to eight republican chairmen just to be sure it would get out.

And he also rushed to do it before the election.

There only reason not to wait a couple weeks was in order to influence the election.

5. It wasn't "classified" information

It was merely information that wasn't suppose to be made public for the same of the integrity of fbi investigations.

Chaffetz faced an ethics complaint for revealing it (and making further false statements about it) but no other legal consequence as he would have if it had actually been classified information.
