After just four days of reporting and fact-checking the story, I dont pretend to know all the facts. Overall, I am in no position to say whether Cummings behaved ethically.
But I do know there is no evidence that has been produced at this point for the accusations leveled against him as fact on Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning. I also know there was evidence available to Fox & Friends that Cummings staff could not have flagged True The Vote for the IRS.
There is also no evidence that has been produced at this point that shows that President Bush lied about WMD. Yet that hasn't stopped Zurawik from insisting for a decade now that Bush lied. Ah, the Double-Standard of the Self-Anointed rears its ugly head once again.
” actually shows is Cummings staffers asking for publicly available information on True The Vote. That would be information available to anyone.
And the emails from the IRS show that executives there triple-checked to make sure only such information was included.”
Is this true? Still, even if publicly available, he still could have been pointing the finger!
