Do Your Job, Jason Chaffetz
The father of Ryan Owens, a Navy SEAL killed, along with several dozen civilians, in a botched attack in Yemen ordered by Donald Trump without adequate investigation or preparation, has asked for an investigation of the raid and his son’s death. The House Government Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, spent millions of dollars and days of hearings investigating whether negligence by Secretary of State Clinton contributed to deaths caused by a terrorist attack at the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi. The Yemen raid and resulting deaths require a similar investigation of Donald Trump.
Why is this important?
The Yemen raid was approved by Trump without adequate planning or investigation, and according to military sources was a complete disaster as a result. The Miami Herald reported today of the anguish caused the father of Ryan Owens as a result of his death, and his request for an investigation. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html It would be hypocrisy of the first order for Rep. Chaffetz not to investigate how this happened with the same zeal that he investigated Clinton after learning she planned to run for president.
