If I were her, I wouldn’t put Cummings in there in case his ethics investigation blows up.

[beethovenfan]

Cummings will do his best to screw up the investigation.

[b4its2late]

The sum of their combined IQ’s barely break 100.

Elijah E. Cummings

Hey, there's a shocker.

[Fido969]

Pelosi met with Democratic leaders Wednesday morning,

I'm sure she told them: "I don't care what it takes, and who gets hurt, I want to get to the bottom of this Benghazi mess!"

[Qiviut]

The more that Barack Obama’s statements and (in)action on the VA follow the same pattern as Benghazi, IRS, and other scandals, the more it looks like Democrats are the ones playing politics with the deaths of Americans.

******************************************

Bingo! ... been trying to figure out a way to state what I think is going on and this is it in a nutshell.

[Ray76]

Cummings can not be allowed, he may be involved in the scandal/crimes being investigated.

[Servant of the Cross]

When asked for a comment regarding his appointment, Rep. Cummings responded aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[Robert Teesdale]

It is entirely possible that the Democrats will turn on the President. On reflection, I don't think they are existentially wedded to him.

There is no doubt a large proportion of Democrats who privately curse the incompetent arrogance of the President, but cannot find a way to disown him and move on without fatal loss of face. The Select Committee, were it to find that impeachable offenses were committed, provides the Democrat Party with a means to disown the President and abandon support based on regrettable incident rather than failure of ideology.

There is a tipping point. Finding it, and pressing on it until it caves, would do a service.

[no-to-illegals]

May there be one, Lord, that want the truth.

Tammy Duckworth from Hawaii is a old friend of Obama’s who graduated from the same high school he did. In 2006 she stated Obama was born in Indonesia. She will run interference for the administration.

[plain talk]

She met with Boehner and then decided to go with reasonable representation. This tells me she believes pubs aren’t serious and nothing will come of it — thus no need for dems to boycott. Not a good sign.

[dennisw]

Watch for the two women on the Democrat side. If Republicans discipline them it will be “war on woman” time and the Dems will try to make election year propaganda out of it. Same with scumbag Elijah Cummings. Dems will make it into a racism issue if Cummings has to be restrained. Gotta stir up those lo-information blacks and get them to the 2014 polls!

[US Navy Vet]

If Trey was smart(and he IS) he would appoint this man as Committee Counsel(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_E._Rogan) he is one of the guys that was TARGETTED by the US House Dems after Clintoon’s Impeachemnt and was defeated by Adam B. Schiff.

[I want the USA back]

They will do their best to protect the big guy.

[drypowder]

Pelosi met briefly with Boehner to discuss the Benghazi panel on Tuesday afternoon, and staff was continuing the discussion Wednesday morning

Bonehead was finally forced to act but because he is still an establishment RINO and the fact he has clearly kissed obozo's butt at every opportunity for the past 6 years, he and Pelosi are very likely colluding behind closed doors to stymie the investigative process, thus and par usual, protecting the administration and their own in DC. That's just what the crony establishment does.

[Oliviaforever]

Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), Ranking Member, Committee on Oversight & Government Reform
Adam Smith (D-WA), Ranking Member, Armed Services Committee
Adam B. Schiff (D-CA), Committee on Appropriations (Subcommittee on State & Foreign Operations), Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA), Committee on Ways and Means (Subcommittee on Oversight)
Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Armed Services Committee, Committee on Oversight & Government Reform

One thing is clear, and that is that these Democrats on the Committee will not be objective and impartial.

[Red_Devil 232]

Does appointment to this committee remove them from the other committees they sit on?

[Wiser now]

Cummings is there to provide the theatrics and the baseless charges of racism. Pelosi wouldn’t be doing this if they hadn’t decided how to use this to their advantage in the coming months. Damn.

[Old Yeller]

Cummings? Shouldn’t he be in contempt for other crimes pending?
