He came to an Iowa off year caucus one time. I visited with him, and found him to be a pretty decent guy. The subject of our conversation was my disappointment in the Republican party. I don't recall, but I think the 2014-5 caucus becuase Ben Carson'r people were already there. I think he was a Never Trump for a period, but don't recall.

Anyway, we'll see if he runs for something else, or really returns to the private sector.

"After long consultation with my family and prayerful consideration, I have decided I will not be a candidate for any office in 2018," Chaffetz wrote.

Chaffetz said that he has no "ulterior motives," but instead said he is ready to return to the private sector.
lol

ulterior motive = money

Is money even considered an "ulterior" motive?

Chaffetz wants to run for Utah Governor in 2020 and he's distancing himself from DC to start that off.

This just got a lot more interesting. Rumors are starting to circulate that Chaffetz might resign as early as tomorrow and he's not exactly ruling it out.

Chaffetz mulling early departure

After the pussy-grabbing tape came out, he said he could not support Trump and look his daughter or wife in the eye.

Then he supported Trump.

Stand-up guy indeed.

Resigning early is interesting. By the way he's talking about wanting to spend more time with his family I'd guess he got caught having an affair.
