Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz has consistently demonstrated that in a relentless campaign of self aggrandizement he will do anything to impugn or obstruct elected democrats or members of the Obama administration. He began his career when the Democrats controlled the house of representative as sort of a designated obstructionist. He would make frivolous points of order in order to slow down or obstruct the business of the house. As chairman of the oversight committee, he relentlessly conducts"Investigations" designed to embarrass members of the administration. He now wants to impeach the head of the IRS. This all stems from IRS staff members questioning the applications for tax exempt status of various 501(c)4 organizations primarily filed by republican groups but also some democratic groups. Those organizations are not supposed to get engage in primarily political endeavors. The ones whose Applications were held up were quite obviously form ed for no other purpose. In fact the IRS should've summarily denied their applications.
Even by the low standards of Utah elected officials, Chaffetz is a total embarrassment. That probably means he will have a long career and probably become a US senator.
