Jason Chaffetz is a big time talker and never any action. So I’ll take his claim on the Sunday news shows today that when White House leakers are found, he wants to throw them in jail. Yea, umm, it’s a felony.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz said anyone leaking information to the press should be prosecuted, regardless of who they are.
Chaffetz made the comments during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos.
During the Sunday interview, Chaffetz called for anyone who leaked information to members of the press to be “handcuffed.”
“I want to see that this person is prosecuted. I think the president makes a very good point. No matter who is in the White House, you cannot have the type of leaking of information, sources, methods, classified information,” he said. “I don’t care who it is, Democrat or Republican, you cannot have that happen. So, not only do you need to wall them off, you probably ought to put handcuffs on them and put them in jail.”
Does this mean Dina Habib Powell or James Comey the clown will be going to jail if it’s proven that they are the leakers? Don’t hold your breath.
