Chaffetz probing national park's tweet welcoming new monument

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is investigating a months-old tweet from his state's Bryce Canyon National Park.

Chaffetz reportedly suspects that the tweet, which was posted in December the day after President Obama designated the more than 1.35-million-acre Bears Ears National Monument in southern Utah, may reveal that the park officials had advanced notice.

Chaffetz questioned the timing of the tweet, which mentions a slot that “long been held."

"The White House is telling the governor as well as the congressional offices that no decisions had been made — that it was still an open question — so how is it [Bryce Canyon National Park officials] were already ready to go with that information?" Chaffetz asked in a letter to Bryce Canyon's superintendent. "The timing is serious.”
Seriously? With all the other actual news out there, with all the other executive shenanigans... this is what he's going to focus on? Really? I'm calling it: attempt to distract.
