Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the Republican head of the House Oversight Committee, faced a rowdy audience during a town-hall meeting near Salt Lake City, Utah, on Thursday night.
Chaffetz, who represents Utah's 3rd congressional district, took questions on several topics inside a high school auditorium that was filled to capacity, several media outlets reported.
Attendees challenged him on Obamacare, energy policy, and Planned Parenthood — but the audience grew increasingly restless and raucous whenever the discussion turned toward recent controversies roiling the White House.
Chaffetz, who famously grilled former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in hearings over her use of a private email server, was grilled by angry constituents Thursday night.
Some of them asked why he had not challenged President Donald Trump's alleged conflicts of interest surrounding his private business empire.
Salt lake city is site of the LDS Prophet ,Temple , Tabernacle and BYU and can be described as The most conservative areas in the country.

The part that Kelly ann was unfamiliar with the law does not forgive her to be in violation of the Law. but as all the hypocrisy Washington is so noted for I really doubt AG office will pursue any further than Holder did with Susan rice's talking points on Sunday programming and at the UN.
In directly giving misleading information to the public in the events of Benghazi.

Slips of the tongue, outright lies and intentional distortions have become so frequent with this group of amateurs they are losing their shock value. Eventually the country may learn to read between the lines, but Trump, Conway, O'Bannon, Flynn, Spicer and the rest are rapidly showing us we have turned the asylum over to the inmates.
We can probably overcome all that domestically, but foreign governments and their leaders are getting very uneasy. The U.S.A. is not Donald Trump Enterprises and the Congress, Courts and Foreign powers cannot be bullied into the shape DJT imagines.
Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

21 days down 79 to go before the first 100 days is over.
if most of the democrats are exhausted already. but this is where all those grass roots blah, blah drift away from the scenes mosey back to where ever they came from as they watched nominee after nominee sworn into office.
This where Trump and company was a warm up. Like when New England plays The Browns preseason. Now that Trumps team is finally intact with The Attorney General Sessions confirmation.
The play times are over, Trumps victories clears the big part of the cabinet solidified support with Law Enforcement across the country. Locked alliances with England, through England Nato , keeps support with Japan, Mexican Government have worked out their deal to pay for his wall (see drug money seizures a huge part of this) , Canada. Israeli government. The President spoke with The CIA personally. Mitch McConnell has kept his house mostly rank and file , Paul Ryan stays the course with his House. Looks to fill the Supreme court choice ahead of schedule.
Democratic victories, Highlighted potential run for Warren. got Kelly Conway in trouble , was able to allow the overreach of travel ban to continue in court. Got Chaffetz in trouble with his church members.
Trumps move rewrite Travel ban with Jeff Sessions input. possibly remove Kelly as a scape goat as her husband fills her role.. Moving Illegals across the border efficiently. Designing wall structure, Pushing Dakota Pipeline to completion for oil destined for Chicago.
next three weeks should be a great start of his up and operational team.

House GOP leaders want more security at town hall amid Obamacare protests. Greeted by a chorus of boos and chants of "do your job," the GOP
chairman of the House oversight committee (Jason Chaffetz) faced questions on everything
from his plans to cut funding for Planned Parenthood to why he hasn't
looked into President Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest.
Many also voiced their concerns about what Chaffetz would do about
climate change, including one young girl who asked him if he believed in
science. In response, he stated that there were "good people on both sides of the aisle."
When asked about concerns over the swearing in of Betsy DeVos as
education secretary, Chaffetz joked, "You’re going to like the bill I
introduced to abolish the Department of Education." Neither answer went
over well with the crowd.
Chaffetz
was a key player in the investigations over the Benghazi attacks and a
private email server that plagued Clinton during the presidential
campaign. Now he’s under pressure to bring the same scrutiny to Trump."
However, according to Politico,
when asked about whether he would investigate how Trump might
financially benefit from his time in office, he said had no intentions
to at this time."You’re
not going to like this part: The president, under the law, is exempt
from conflict of interest laws," he said - again to a chorus of boos.

The town hall took place at Brighton High School in Cottonwood Heights, where The Huffington Post
reports thousands were denied entry despite empty seats due to concerns
about crowd control. Those outside continued to protest the congressman
by chanting "Chaffetz is a coward" and "your last term." Ultimately,
Chaffetz ended up cutting the meeting short 40 minutes early.
Meanwhile,
word of the raucous town hall soon spread to the internet, where
#ChaffetzTownHall quickly became a trending topic on Twitter.
