Chaffetz said Thursday that he still supports digging into Planned Parenthood's activities, even if they're using their money appropriately.

GOP Probe Into Planned Parenthood Funding Comes Up Empty

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Thursday that the GOP's investigation into Planned Parenthood's use of federal funds hasn't turned up anything.
"Did I look at the finances and have a hearing specifically as to the revenue portion and how they spend? Yes. Was there any wrongdoing? I didn't find any," he said during a Judiciary Committee hearing on the family planning provider.
Chaffetz, a candidate for House speaker, grilled Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards during a five-hour hearing last week. He questioned her salary, asked about the organization's expenses and revenues, and pressed Richards on why the group had revenue of $127 million last year if it's a nonprofit. (Nonprofits put their revenues back into their programs.)
But after all that, he concluded that Planned Parenthood isn't doing anything sketchy with its money. "Did we find any wrongdoing? The answer was no," Chaffetz said.
His concession will be music to Democrats' ears, who have long accused Republicans of trying to sink Planned Parenthood because they oppose abortion. The women's health care provider gets about $500 million a year in federal funds, but federal law prohibits any of it from being used for abortions. Instead, the money is used to subsidize a range of health care services for low-income women, including birth control, cancer screenings and tests for sexually transmitted diseases.
So...he didn't find anything, but wants to keep probing...LOL
BWAHAHAHAHAH. I remember many people claiming PP did something wrong.. will they participate in this thread? LOL.
I doubt it.
Chaffetz even admits it was a waste of time (and his no Y axis graph made him look like an oaf).

Did they just lose another potential Speaker?
This reminds me Vito Barbieri saying this:

The GOP is painfully clueless on female anatomy. Their knowledge on PP is even more painful.

I'll be waiting for the pro lifers who have been attacking PP to step up and comment on this. :lamo
What do you think should happen to people that deliberately lied in this very serious matter?I'm not sure why you think any of this is funny. I have been praying daily for all the truth to come out about PP and for the truth-tellers to be believed. Surely, this is what we all want, and if it's found that Planned Parenthood has done nothing illegal, I will be glad that PP has been vindicated. Truth is truth.
Now why don't you laugh your ass off about that?

Vindicated, but now PP's name has been trashed, dragged through the mud, and the people who made the video are vicious liars.
Not to mention the taxpayer money wasted on this so-con wankfest.
Funny how none of the posters who wanted to burn PP down based on no data sure are keeping quiet today....:lamo
The pro lifers are still dodging this thread. :lamo
Yup, they are all A-Skeered!
