21. Wasn't Jason Chaffetz the one who leaked Comey's "Hillary's emails" letter to the press?

Thursday

What I remember was that Comey sent a private letter (or maybe a private email) to each member of Congress, letting them know he was re-opening the investigation. There was supposed to be no leaking to the press, but Chaffetz did leak it, 3 days before the election.

We all know what happened ... Chump won the election, and Chaffetz almost immediately resigned and took a cushy job somewhere outside of Washington.
