Ranking Oversight Committee Democrat Linked To Investigation He Tried To Stop

IRSWell, this is interesting.

New IRS emails released by the House Oversight Committee show staff working for Democratic Ranking Member Elijah Cummings communicated with the IRS multiple times between 2012 and 2013 about voter fraud prevention group True the Vote.

Cumming’s is the ranking minority Democrat on the committee and has been the biggest opponent of the investigation.  An investigation that, had it been stopped by Cummings sooner, may never have discovered the connection between his staff, Lerner, IRS targeting and True The Vote.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa, along with five Subcommittee Chairmen are demanding Cummings provide an explanation for the staff inquiries to the IRS about True the Vote and for his denial that his staff ever contacted the IRS about the group.

Expect Cummings to continue his, “I’m offended, how dare you schtick.”  It’s standard Liberal “who doth protest too much.”  And it can’t be long before the accusations of racism start emerging as Cummings tries to distract from his complicity in an investigation he has so loudly opposed
