Elijah Cummings denies wife's charity is conflict of interest or tax violation
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/23/19 | Alana Goodman

Posted on 05/27/2019 6:55:38 PM PDT by Libloather

Rep. Elijah Cummings denied that corporate donations to his wife’s charity posed a conflict of interest with his House Oversight Committee chairmanship and denounced an IRS complaint filed against the organization as “a fabricated distraction” on Wednesday.

The National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group, filed an IRS complaint against Cummings’ wife Maya Rockeymoore’s nonprofit organization on Monday, the Washington Examiner first reported.

The complaint asked the IRS to investigate the overlap between Rockeymoore’s nonprofit Center for Global Policy Solutions and her for-profit consulting firm Global Policy Solutions LLC to determine whether the arrangement was used for "illegal private benefit."

Rockeymoore’s nonprofit group and LLC have mutual clients, donors, and projects and were located at the same address and share a phone number. The National Legal and Policy Center’s IRS complaint claims that they “appear to operate almost as a single entity, allowing for an illegal private benefit for Maya Rockeymoore Cummings and her husband.”

It's not a crime unless you get caught.

I would see this as a potential problem. Which is which?

It’s not a crime if you are a Democrat.

It is what Bill and Hillary did with the Clinton Foundation. It is pay to play and is illegal as hell. Bill, Hillary and Elijah should br tied together and burned. Bets should be taken on who burns out first with profits going to lawyers to take out the others. That is just my fanciful thinking.

Prosecute.

Set a precedent to go after the Hildabeast and the Clinton Crime Family for their bogus Clinton Foundation and their other bogus charities.

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

Democrap Cummings is not exactly an intellectual giant-----more of a braindead midget.
So they had to come up with a simplistic ripoff that tied into Cummings
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chair.

His second 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.

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

====================================

This scam is sophmorically easy to pull off, even for a moron like Cummings. It is very common for shysters in business to open bank ccounts with similar names as the legit buiness in order o siphon off money to hide it from partners, associates, investors, the IRS, etc.

Here's how Cummings and his wife siphoned off huge amounts for themselves.
<><> early on they established two entities, one non-profit and a for profit.
<><> as the money poured into the N/P, Cummings and Rockymoore systematically transferred monies to the private company with a similar name.

Keep in mind, the private company, unlike the N/P, is exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures like he n/p does

SIPHONINGS A CINCH It’s so easy even a sub-human retard can siphon off money by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer “mis-spelled” your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.

AND PRESTO: a check made out to N/P Global Policy Solutions, is deposited in the for profit Global Policy Solutions LLC account.

Really? Isn’t he the one who came up with the lame excuse that they needed DJT’s tax returns for IRS oversight purposes?

Not a crime unless you are fined and/or jailed/executed.

Just another politician making money taking advantage of his position, his race, and his party affiliation.
