He’s the one that’s names in the Formal Ethics Complaint. Not like that means he won’t walk away from that too. Or blame his staff.

Elijah hit the big time. He made the Daily Mail as well:

GOP claims Democratic congressman colluded with IRS’s Lois Lerner to gather information on conservatives

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2601098/GOP-claims-Democratic-congressman-colluded-IRSs-Lois-Lerner-gather-information-conservatives.html

So then Mr Issa — what are you going to do about it???

Sure explains some of the temper-tantrums and theatrics from a few weeks ago. Sure explains lil Lois and the 5th.

If I was a wagering sort of man, I might bet that this goes higher and deeper.

I believe that by sending him a letter it goes into the congressional record. Establishing a paper trail is a very important part of building a criminal case.

OK, Thanks.

Cummings should be under arrest and at the very least thrown
off of the committee that he has obviously been undermining.

It’s been very hard to allow the wheels of justice to turn in this case. To me and many others it seemed that Issa just wasn’t pushing hard enough to get to the truth here.

I am guessing that these emails are part of the ones the IRS was forced to release which they claimed would take months to fully redact.

I am willing to give Rep. Issa the benefit of the doubt and hope that today’s revelations means that he is getting close to real action against those who used the government to intimidate American citizens for their political views.

Nobody is going anywhere until this news gets published in one or more MSM news outlet.

True the Vote had to be stopped and that is why the IRS and Cummings have done what they did.

Voter fraud is rampant in the USA and the Marxist/Progressive’s are pulling the stops to prevent any investigation into the fraud.

Here’s the deal.

Texas, as far as the liberals are concerned, is in play.

They have been spending a tremendous amount of money on their “astroturf” efforts to turn Texas Blue. They managed this in Virginia more recently.

“True the Vote” is a real threat.

Mission Statement

True the Vote is an initiative developed by citizens for citizens, meant to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of our electoral process. We promote ideas that actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

We are working to restore integrity to the American system of electing its leaders. With True the Vote, we have, “deconstructed the entire process, focusing on educating voters, examining the registry, recruiting, training and mobilizing election workers and poll watchers, training how to collect data all along the way, then use the data to shape government action and legislative agendas to support desperately needed election code reform.”

Our government was built upon the belief that election results represent the true will of the people and our election processes were always intended to be supported by citizen volunteers. We are helping stop corruption where it can start – at the polls.

Cummings suffered severe brain damage when he landed on Guam and the island tipped over, hitting him in the head.

Cummings is to the Democrats in the House as Dana Milbank and E.J. Dionne are to the Wash. Post, i.e. hatchmen and smear artists.

He is typical of most of Maryland’s black politicians - shrewd, deceptful, liars and hardcore leftists. Coming from Baltimore, I knew a lot about how the Black Democrat machine worked. There was a liberal, honest faction but they got destroyed by the criminal element and their liberal allies.

That is why one Baltimore black mayor went to jail, along with other city officials, and others were driven out of office by the honest voters.

However, mental corruption among the black political body is endemic, as it is in Phila., NYC, Cleveland, parts of Houston, LA, Detroit, St. Louis/E. St. Louis, Kansas City, and CHICAGO.

It will take generations and the Apocalypse to clean out these crooks, commies and fools, and the same applies to the White Democrat machines in many of those same cities.

In the meanwhile, decent blacks of the more moderate political persuasion, are left hanging in the lurch, subject to terrible taxes, political games, lousy schools for their kids, corruption and crime.

Yep. Obama actually told the truth when he said that he would “fundamentally change America” into a marxist shithole, and he has buttf*cked his own people (no, not the Marxists), those decent black Americans who are suffering at his hands.

Oh, this doesn’t mean that he hasn’t done this to decent White, Indian, Asian, Jewish, Catholic/Christian, and law abiding citizens. He has, and will continue until the Democrat Party is destroyed in upcoming elections and the House starts corruption proceedings against the leadership of the Democrat Party and their crony heads of various government offices/agencies.

Meanwhile pigs will fly at 10,000 feet.

As Scooby Doo would say, or was that Astro ? anyway, RUH ROH !
No wonder there was a flap between Issa and Cummings about a month ago...... or was that some other investigation ? ... No wonder Elijah Cummings acted the way he did towards Issa a few weeks ago, Elijah Cummings was in on it targeting some groups with the IRS.

The GOP will never regain prominence until a leader arrives who promises and delivers massive retaliation against the leftists who are destroying our nation. That includes direct action to remove civil servants who proselytize and judges who betray the Constitution. It’s a matter of guts and telling the truth and the first leader to stand up and state the truth without fear will destroy the opposition.

it doesn't get much sweeter than this...except it's genuinely alarming.

A conspiracy between the Executive and members of Congress to commit multiple felonies.
