In a desperate attempt to deflect from Hillary Clinton's growing email scandal, ABC's White House correspondent Jonathan Karl wrote up a short hit piece for ABCNews.com on Tuesday in which he proclaimed: "Hillary Clinton isn't the only official who uses a non-government email address. A business card obtained by ABC News shows that Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, lists his Gmail address on his official House card."

Appearing on Wednesday's Fox & Friends, Chaffetz dismissed the absurd comparison between him and Clinton: "Well, that's like comparing apples to a, you know, boat. Look, I put it on my business card, so in terms of openness and transparency, I'm handing it out to reporters. I am not subject, as a member of Congress, to the Federal Records Act."
