Congressional Democrats have opened their own investigation into the Planned Parenthood videos — but into the group that took the footage in which officials haggle over the prices of organs and discuss keeping a baby alive so his brain can be harvested.

The Center for Medical Progress may have broken federal laws in setting up a false-front company to secretly record Planned Parenthood employees talking about these and other practices, the Democrats say.

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, also said it’s possible some of his colleagues in Congress knew about CMP’s activities and didn’t flag them for potential illegal behavior.

“These disturbing actions raise questions about whether the Center for Medical Progress has broken federal or state laws, and whether some members of Congress may have been aware of these potentially illegal activities before they were made public earlier this year,” the Maryland congressman wrote in a Thursday letter to David Daleiden, chief executive of CMP.

Mr. Cummings‘ letter asks for documents on CMP funding, donors, associates, activities and meetings and copies of all video and audio footage with Planned Parenthood employees.

This is like investigating the rape victims instead of the rapist.

Horrible. How they all support PP knowing what is going on.

Liberals love shooting the messenger, but not the message. Murder on! —should be their motto.

Just so long as the videos keep coming out at appropriate intervals and all the unedited footage for each remains accessible. The "Fraud by Editing" charges can't stand up, at least, and the lawyers and judges will have to make up some new laws or warp some laws to make anything else stick. They probably cant bankrupt the videoists in court because any number of freedom and Christian foundations and orgs will defend them with very good attorneys. PP will have to get a judge and a jury to convict in spite of the law and in spite of the evidence.

What is the most frightening thing is that these Stalinists do not see or understand why anyone would question what they are doing.

To question the State, and the Socialist Utopia is to exhibit mental illness.

I’m no expert, but don’t PP’s activities, as well as these “research” groups’ violate the Nuremberg laws?

[DaveyB]

And the homo-enablers said they opposed bulling!

Isn’t Obamaland great?

Now why don’t you shut your racist faces and go pay your taxes. Your hard working government is broke. :)

What will their charges be against God? He is recording all their activities.

The Empire Strikes Back. Satan loves the murder and vivisection of babies. He will not allow the truth to go unchallenged by his demonic minions.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Remember, abortion services are just a “small part” of what Planned Parenthood does, and we need to focus on the “positives” about Planned Parenthood.

Washington Times, Daily Signal (both August 12, 2015), etc, etc, etc per Trump.

I will continue to post this repeatedly.

Elijah Cummings is black, you think he would care more about the blatant racism in PP.

[I want the USA back]

Why I will never vote democrat.

[Maceman]

I meant to say Elijah Cummings. Not Ralph Ellison. I’ve already asked for the comment to be deleted.

Elijah Cummings is black, you think he would care more about the blatant racism in PP.

We can see from him how evil corrupts a man's mind.
