Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., died Thursday morning at Johns Hopkins Hospital from complications concerning longstanding health challenges, his office said in a statement.
Cummings, 68, was the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and heavily involved in the impeachment inquiry.
Cummings, of Baltimore, has not returned to work after an undisclosed medical procedure that he said would only keep him away for about a week. [
]
He missed two roll call votes Thursday, the first day back following a two-week recess. He previously released a statement saying hed be back by the time the session resumed. The 68-year-old hasnt taken part in a roll call vote since Sept. 11.
The unidentified procedure caused Cummings to miss a September hearing on Washington, D.C., statehood. His statement didnt detail the procedure. He previously was treated for heart and knee issues.

Hmmm. How long before one of the lames rolls out the blame Trump comments for his berating b'more and the corruption there? Sort of like the lames wondering if Trump will be responsible for hunters falling off the wagon if and when.

So he was under corruption investigation that would have involved Clinton, and he ends up dead

That’s the wrong question. The correct question...
“How many times will Elijah Cummings vote in the 2020 election?”*
(*And future elections.)

It’s about halfway down Breaking News. Also start searching from about 7:30am and working backwards.

Great.
Now I’ll endure the next two weeks of calls for the President to stop his unseemly partisan attacks, while the nation mourns
All the while they will be howling and excoriating the president...

I heard it at 8:00am central time and have heard it ad nauseum since. Just waiting to see who blames the President for Cummings death.....big orange man picking on poor black man and dare make him answer for his actions in his district......it’ll be here soon. Jeff Zucker will see to it......

Noted. But I’m pretty sure that’s a practice not followed by the recently departed.
