Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was not dead for 24 hours before “theories” started popping up about some questionable signatures he’d recently penned on a few congressional subpoenas.
BizPac Review reports that when one signature from the late congressman was compared to other documents that had been signed by him, the penmanship was hardly similar, leading many to believe one of his staffers may have forged his signature.
Is it forgery? The subpoenas in question were meant to block the removal of illegal immigrants who were suffering from severe medical problems.
Some have wondered whether Cummings really signed them, however, or if he was perhaps too ill to do so.
That speculation has prompted Twitter sleuths to do some digging, and quite a few people came up with various documents that were allegedly signed by Cummings, but that depicted a John Hancock that looked nothing at all like his normal signature.

You be the judge.

But where there are allegations of forgery, a full investigation is warranted.
Indeed, what if this is merely the act of some rogue staffer trying to paint a picture of a dedicated servant of the people who used his last breath to fight back against the evil that is Donald Trump?
Is that really so hard to believe?
Whether the allegations are true or not, it’s sad that such a controversy has to stain Cummings’ record so soon after his unfortunate death.
But wherever there are Democrats, you can bet there’s some shady business going on there. The Dems have proven that statement true time and time again.
I wouldn’t put it past them, but on the other hand writing while under pain killers will not appear the same as a sober one.
Occam’s Razor seems to apply here.
Even if not forged...how does he even have the power to do this?
“The subpoenas in question were meant to block the removal of illegal immigrants who were suffering from severe medical problems.”
Cummings would probably make more sense while under morphine than he would normally.
Democrats lie, cheat, and steal. He was a democrat as are his staff so yes, they were probably forged. Soon, his criminal wife will make a play for the seat to continue their part in the democrat criminal empire.
He stained it long ago, so no need to be "sad".
Not sure "unfortunate" is the word I would have chosen here.
Take that click bait crap off if you want me to read your blog.
My father in law was a handwriting investigator for our county fraud cases after he retired from the DA’s office. FBI trained. Over the years he gave me some tell tell signs to look for. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a hurry, sober, drunk, stoned, etc. some things never change. Chief among them is where you lift your pen and then put it back to paper. Based on that alone these aren’t the same sigs.
Is it forgery?
**************
Doesn’t matter even if it is. Democrats are above the law and immune from any prosecution or consequences.
Laws are for us, not them.
What blog?
The simplest explanation is that ALL the signatures are forged ... because Elijah Cummings couldn’t read or write. :-P
How absurd was it that all flags in NH were at half staff for a congressman from MD.
Not even close.....
Dead Man Chalking
Especially not in cursive.
Although is it forgery only if there is “fraud” or “deception” involved? If a secretary signs the boss’ name, is it OK? I understand it can be.
However now that Cummings is dead, he can’t say that there was no deception. I guess it’s up to the new chairman to reissue the subpoenas?
Lock up the entire Democrat delegation just to be sure.
Even when they die and leave this orb!
They continue to vote, and the dead elites in congress and apparently sign congressional documents.
For a sitting member of Congress (Senate or House), the flag is flown at half-staff the day of death and the following day. McCain got way more than his share.
