It’s always dangerous to call for a standard for President Trump that you cannot live up to yourself. With Nancy Pelosi reportedly out to imprison President Trump, and House Oversight Committee chairman Elijah Cummings claiming that he “deserves the mark of impeachment, top Democrats seem to be calling for serious penalties for misconduct. Real law & order fanatics?
Maybe they should think that over, as Andrew Kerr of the Daily Caller News Foundation reminds them:
House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings’s wife has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from her charity to her private for-profit organization, according to a previously undisclosed cost-sharing arrangement that multiple experts said raises red flags.
Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid her for-profit venture, Global Policy Solutions LLC, over $250,000 in “management fees” between 2013 and 2015, according to the charity’s audited financial statements covering those years. The management fees were paid in addition to a cost-sharing agreement where the charity pays for its share of equipment, personnel and other expenditures.
Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity is funded by companies with interests before her husband’s congressional committee, according to the Washington Examiner.
“It’s self-dealing. It’s taking the charity’s resources and turning them into personal profits,” National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) investigator Tom Anderson told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “IRS law doesn’t allow a charity for this purpose. This isn’t for the public interest, this is for her personal interest. You can’t do that.”

Elijah Cummings is far from the only DC “public servant” whose family has done very well by the federal employee ostensibly doing good.
Check out the fortunes of the spouses of Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein. Die-hard Trump haters who claim that a foreign diplomat checking in at a Trump Hotel constitutes an emoluments clause infraction ought to think over the standards they want applied to federal office holders.

Global Policy Solutions received more than $6.2 million in grants between 2013 and 2016, according to tax records. Several of the nonprofit group’s financial backers — which included Google, J.P Morgan and Prudential — have business interests before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Cummings has served as Democratic chairman of the committee since January and previously served as ranking member.
=====================================
NARRATIVE: 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 Just put 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.
Some might ask how the IRS might close-down M/M Cummings’ gold mine of a scam. AFAIK, each bank records every check that is presented to its system-——as well, the front and back of each check are copied. That means if the Cummings deposited checks made out to the n/p into its consulting account, the bank would have all of that recorded.

Baloney.
Lifson knows better than that.
Democrats have NO standards.
As Alinsky said, "make them (the conservatives) abide by (i.e., hold them to) their own standards."
She just wants to hear chants of “lock him up” at Creepy Joe rallies.
So don’t say “they better not do THAT, or we can point out THIS...”
Go after them NOW and destroy the bastards, jail them, jail their families, get them kicked out of their jobs and take their money away.
When is OUR side going to join this war? The other side has been at it for over two YEARS now.
PDJT didn’t get where he is financially by ‘playing nice’.
He certainly is bound by rules/regs/laws/restrictions that are in place to supposedly stop people in power using the minions below them to investigate/out people who the ‘leader’ has a personal (or what would seem to be) vendetta against.
However, that doesn’t stop PDJT when he becomes DJT from setting aside a portion of his fortune(s) to take care of family then launching ‘personal’ investigations against these idiots dumb enough to admit being part of a coup which they feel will never come back to bite them.
Mueller ‘proved’ you can ruin lives and jail people by looking in one direction and attacking from the other even though his ‘side trip’ investigations had nothing to do with the reason he was empowered to spend OUR MONEY.
I would imagine the protocol would be that were one to be ‘investigating’ another for a specific crime and other junk comes up that it would be referred to another court - NOT taking up time and money from the project you were pursuing.
Excellent post.
Our problem is we lack a national media to expose all this. You know the MSM will spend all week on anything against Trump or us.
A book by Levin or someone is not enough. They isolate us and say “a right wing site alleged that....” .They don’t say “we the leftist biased news are telling you that....”
They have two options: justice from the feds, or justice from the Deplorables. There will be no third option this time.
