Chairman Issa got the attention of Cummings and the CBC, Elijah found out he's not running the committee.

[struggle]

GIVE IT TO TREY GOWDY.

[ScottinVA]

Not a problem. Hand the gavel to Gowdy.

Problem solved.

[Obadiah]

Nothing more than the misdirection started by Cummings. The Dems want nothing more than the=is to be about Issa. The Dems want to distract from Obama’s Lois Lerner taking the Fifth.

[Qwackertoo]

oh geeze . . . but yet they say nothing about Obama and Reid.

[grobdriver]

The American people have the right to expect that their elected leaders be held to the highest possible standards of conduct.

I agree completely.

Impeach Obama.

[Truth29]

And I think that the CBC should be booted out of the US Congress for being anti American. Neither of us will get our wishes.

[Tijeras_Slim]

They’re mad Issa dissed ol’ Beldar the Conehead.

[mulligan]

Another stupid and corrupt politician making a dumb statement. Just another fool.

Congressional BLACK Caucus sounds like a racist organization to me!

Really? I say our emperor should be stripped of clothes! Oh wait!

[high info voter]

That would be the CBC - throw their weight behind a traitor to the freedoms of American citizens trying to deal with a corrupt government agency - WHAT DUMB F&CKS!

I suspect there is a story behind the story. Cummings and the democrats had cooked up some scheme to either put words of innocence in Lerner’s mouth or make some announcement to throw a wrench into things. Issa caught wind of it and was ready, which is why he was so quick and assertive. And the peanut gallery yelling ‘shame’ so quickly (they were not surprised) tells me they were in on the plan.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Pelosi and Cummings in happier days.

He can't keep his hand off that gavel.

[high info voter]

"“an affront to the expectations of the American people.”

Ignorent..... Lerner taking the 5th is the affront to American people!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Democrats yelled “Shame!”

Oh, the irony. Democrats can't spell the word.

Dems Lock Out Republicans — Literally(2009 story)

Money quote from story: "On Tuesday, the committee's Democrats let the Republicans know that their keys wouldn't work in the hearing room anymore. They'd had the locks changed."

[CivilWarBrewing]

Cummings' STUNT was designed to change the media's headline for the hearing from "Lerner pleads the Fifth" to "Outburst at IRS hearing"..

I would not be surprised if Cummings had orders from the WH to divert the media's attention away from WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT THE HEARING.

This was a "What difference does it make" moment where a person SHOUTS and everyone forgets what happened prior to that.

DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "IRS hearing" and nearly all the results are as follows:

"Cummings clash.."
"Issa Walks out.."
"IRS hearing explodes"
"Elijah Gets Cut Off.."
"Issa: Rep. Cummings 'Was Slandering Me' During.."
"U.S. House hearing on IRS scandal dissolves in shouting.."

IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHY CUMMINGS DID WHAT HE DID. HE LEARNED FROM HILLARY'S "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE" OUTBURST AND HOW WELL THE MEDIA LATCHES ONTO DIVERSIONS!!!

[TexasCajun]

Even Ray Charles could see this coming!
