Rep Cummings issued a succinct, self-deprecatory statement.

"I don't know nuttin."

If Bonehead, Cantor and McCarthy have any say, the answer is no.

Hey Elijah, do the words “unindicted co-conspirator” ring a bell?

[firebasecody]

They wear their corruption as a badge of honor and demand we respect it. Fooey, I say.

Issa (more likely Gowdy) should challenge him to recuse himself.

“Is there an ethics investigation in Rep. Cummings’ future over IRS emails with Lerner? “

Blackman serving while he had the Messiah in the White House and Holder in the DOJ. . .NOT A CHANCE>

A black politician prosecuted for his crimes? Never see it. Monkeys will fly outa my butt first.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Since Slaughter is on the ethics board
it will be "deemed " to be not an issue !!
"Deemed " is the equivelent of a voice vote with the hearing impaired/ deaf !!
Ethics violation is a non-issue when it impeeds Demorat AGENDA !!

We should have instituted the Politician Surveillance Program (PSP). The moment an individual runs for elected office their lives should be documented 24 hours a day. Every word they speak, every email they write, their location recorded moment by moment, every meeting they have, their cellphone conversations recorded and all of the metadata included, etc., etc.

A picture of with him in a orange prison jump suit, that would look better.
That would surely get his goat.

[chris37]

Nope.

[elpadre]

an arrest warrant would be better

Is there an ethics investigation in Rep. Cummings’ future over IRS emails with Lerner?

Why is this even a question?

[publius911]

And so we wanted to know what role Rep. Cummings or any of his staff had played in any of that and why Rep. Cummings undertook to misrepresent that he was conducting an investigation of True the Vote, which we think was in violation of House rules.”

Cummings has vociferously defended his actions, often calling the investigation by Republican Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa as disingenuous and painting any criticism of his actions as unfairly partisan. This has included taking shots at Mitchell herself. However, the release of Lois Lerner’s emails have cast significant doubt on the honesty and transparency of Cummings’s intentions and motivations.

Those two statements are mutually exclusive. It screams for punishment. These criminal ignorant elected clowns have all got to be slapped down hard. Soon.

There are always the RICO laws. Anyone can file for prosecution, and this entire mess clearly defines RICO crimes.
Discovery under prosecution should be a real riot!

But don’t these ethics violation hearings always end up with a very mild rebuke that really is no penalty at all?
