BALTIMORE, MD — When a man broke into the building in the middle of the night where U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings and his wife live, the couple did not call 911 right away. After the intruder got in, they took action. Hours later, the congressman's wife, Maya Rockeymoore, contacted authorities.

Two exterior doors lead to the residential part of the apartment building where the couple lives on the first and second floor in the 2000 block of Madison Avenue, according to the police report.

Around 3:40 a.m. on Saturday, July 27, they were alerted by a cell phone application connected to their security system that there was an intruder, the report said.

"The burglar was described as a black man in his early 40s who was 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9 inches tall and 170 pounds. He had a dark brown complexion and short black hair and was wearing khaki shorts, a dark short-sleeved shirt, dark tennis shoes with white ankle socks and a black fitted hat with an upside-down red “U” shape on it."

That's more attention to detail than he pays on his regular gig:

and their illegal immigrant maid from China ate the dog.

But we still can maintain a chain of custody

My pink ass he did.

[Salamander]

Wow.

Bawlmer ferals acting feral.
Did the dude have a pet sewer rat on his shoulder, too?

[Salamander]

Yeah, sure.

It’s a Superpower.

In well over 20 years, the only and last time I ventured into the bowels of Charm City was to rescue a horribly abused Argentine Boa.

We were in and out like SEALS.

A suffering animal is the ONLY reason I would go to that hellpit.

Yep - the guy was probably just looking for a place to sleep, to rest himself of his daily travails, a little peace and quiet and safety.

A black man how unusual

[MRadtke]

If anything, this sounds more like a drink entered the wrong house by mistake.

He brought his bicycle into the foyer. I doubt anything really happened. Wife said all damage to door was from fire incident. Police have released report

[Larry Lucido]

Maya Rockeymoore? Where do they come up with these names?

I think they talked about her in this scene in Pulp Fiction. Folks used to call her Tony Rocky Horror.

U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings Milk Dud ...

Yes, the Smollett Maneuver, I agree.

They failed to call the police until several hours later? That’s the proof of Smollett Maneuver.

The police were called only after the political strategy of blaming Trump was put in place, and the necessary drum beaters put in place.Its an old “jungle” tradition.

Smollett Maneuver.

Isn’t the IRS investigating his wife? Sounds like they tried to get rid of a lot of evidence and pass if off as a “burglary”. But maybe I have a low opinion of human nature - and especially professional politicians.

Fake burgler

Trump really trolled Cummings after this on Twitter. It was priceless.
