One of the most senior House Democrats, who has hurled unfounded accusations of illegal actions and even treason against President Trump and his advisers finds himself accused of major wrongdoing.

A charity run by Maya Rockeymoore, the wife of Rep. Elijah Cummings, received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband’s committee.

Cummings has absurdly demanded everything from Trump’s personal tax returns and the returns of his companies and foundation, but also records from Trump’s accountants — all pertaining to irrelevant business dealings before Mr. Trump became president.

Now it looks like the once financially-desperate Cummings has been on the take for millions in his current role as one of the most powerful chairmen in Congress.

Awww, come on. That’s just “business” as usual for Democrats and is in no way illegal. So, let’s get on with the Russian collusion thing and get the President’s elementary school records...

This shows that somebody is finally doing some oppo research on the some of the bad players in Congress.

Before Trump, few have dared to go after any of these corrupt people because of their status in the Protected Class

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, but he'll walk. Because this is the new normal in Washington DC:

Now it looks like the once financially-desperate Cummings has been on the take for millions...

Unlike, say, people whose ethics are beyond reproach such as Hillary Clinton and Barack 0bama?

Exclusive: House Dems Sign Secret MOUs To Target Trump
House Oversight and Govt Reform Committee Elijah Cummings Chair,
and Financial Services Chair, Maxine Waters executed
a secret Memorandum of Understanding to “target” Pres Trump
Sara Carter | 4-16-2019 | SAra Carter / FR Posted by tcrlaf

Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Elijah Cummings and Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters executed a secret Memorandum of Understanding to “target” President Trump and subpoena all his financial and banking records, according to a letter sent to Cummings from ranking committee member Rep. Jim Jordan.

Further, Jordan’s letter indicates that other MOUs have apparently been signed and agreed to with House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Ca, who has promised to continue investigations into the president despite findings by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office that there was no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Attorney General William Barr released a summary of Mueller’s 400 page report several weeks ago and the redacted version of the report is expected to be released by the DOJ this Thursday. (Excerpt) Read more at saraacarter.com ...

Cummings, 68, a Maryland Democrat, chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

His wife, Maya Rockeymoore, 48, is the chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and briefly ran in the state's gubernatorial race last year. The couple married in 2008.

Cummings was once heavily in debt when he dumped his wife for the much younger Maya----— in part due to hefty child support payments to his first wife and two other women he had children with — but his financial situation has improved considerably over the past decade.

Ms Rockeymoore runs two entities, a nonprofit group called the Center for Global Policy Solutions and a for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC, whose operations appear to have overlapped, according to the IRS complaint filed by watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center on Monday.

The complaint states that the arrangement may have been used to derive "illegal private benefit."
