Democrats launch investigation into Center for Medical Progress
Live Action News ^ | 8/20/15 | Susan Michelle

Posted on 08/21/2015 10:36:41 AM PDT by BlatherNaut

One day after the nation learned that babies were born alive with hearts beating, then sliced up to retrieve brains and body parts, House Democrats have launched an investigation – into The Center for Medical Progress, not into the allegations of infanticide.

In a four-page letter today, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, asked CMP for a list of information, including copies of all its video and audiotapes.

Cummings insists that, “Any legitimate and balanced congressional investigation must also address your group’s role in these activities.” He adds that if there are hearings on this issue, then they will need this information. Cummings’ letter says that the videos “implicate Center for Medical Progress and its affiliates in potentially unlawful activities” by secretly recording Planned Parenthood.

Elijah Cummings is as directly involved in the OBAMA IRS Scandal as Lois Lerner is.

Cummings communicated directly with Lois Lerner about the prosecuting of non leftwing groups she was blocking from getting tax free status.

He supplied Lois Lerner with the names of such groups and also demanded from them lists of all their donors and any communications they had made.

This won’t go to discovery for obvious reasons, but the left will use the “Justice Department™” to harass and inconvenience CMP to the greatest extent possible.

As Mark Steyn has often remarked, in the present day American judicial system the process is the punishment.

They’ll have to watch the videos to find out what’s in them.
I wish someone would buy some prime time TV and show the videos.

Maybe Planned Parenthood could provide Mr. Cummings some black baby skin shoes to keep his feet warm while he investigates, because after all BlackLivesMatter, at least inasmuch as their parts can be sold to earn money to be donated to the likes of you, Mr. Cummings.

There should be a public trial of those Center for Medical Progress miscreants and for conclusive proof of their vicious video recording all of the offending videos should be shown to the jury.

And WE pay those commie ‘RAT bastards to do this? It sounds to me like that commie ‘RAT, Cummings, is engaging in a coverup with the baby butchers. Since when did we start going after whistleblowers? Cummings needs to stop playing Uncle Tom to his honky massahs down at the DNC and try to grow up.

They should tell Cummings they will work on getting him the information as soon as the Obama administration complies with all the outstanding requests to Congress for information.

Conflict of Interest: Elijah Cummings Knee Deep in IRS Scandal
Posted on March 6, 2015 by Steven Ahle

Cleta Mitchell, who is representing True the Vote, filed an ethics probe against Elijah Cummings on February 6th (2014) with the Office of Congressional Ethics . Last fall, True the Vote started receiving 8 and 9 page letters from Cummings, claiming he was conducting an investigation of their organization as part of the House Oversight Committee. One problem. The House Oversight Committee is only allowed to investigate government agencies. Going after a private citizen is illegal.

Mitchell wants to find out if Cummings is responsible in part, or completely, for the harassment of Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote. After Cummings launched his “investigation”, Engelbrecht had her business audited twice, her personal taxes once, two visits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a surprise visit from OSHA, and seven visits from the FBI.

Last week, emails were released to the committee that showed that Cummings was working with Lois Lerner, which is why he attempted to scuttle the investigation into the IRS, immediately as soon as it was announced.

Cleta Mitchell is turning up the heat with her public statements such as:

“In the fall of 2012, True the Vote received a series of letters — eight, nine, 10 page letters from Elijah Cummings out of the blue, conducting what he claimed was ‘his investigation of True the Vote.’ Now mind you, the jurisdiction of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee is federal agencies. It is not private citizens’ groups in Houston, Texas.”

“Congressman Cummings sent this series of letters demanding all this material and information from True the Vote. This went on for several months, and then he would get on national TV, MSNBC of course, and before the letters had been received by True the Vote he’d be waving these letters around and that he’s conducting an investigation, which of course he has no authority under the House rules to do.”

“On behalf of True the Vote, we filed a complaint against Rep. Cummings on February 6 with the Office of Congressional Ethics asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Rep. Cummings or any member of his staff had played any role in getting any of the agencies that went after Catherine Engelbrecht and her family after she became involved with True the Vote. Two IRS audits about the business, her personal tax returns, two visits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a surprise visit from OSHA, seven visits from the FBI. I mean, these are not coincidences. 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.”

Before the 2012 election, there seemed to be a concerted effort by democrats to get the IRS and other agencies onto the backs of conservative groups.

“Write him back and ask him to produce all communications with Planned Parenthood.”

Great and then work with the Republicans to have all the videos played in a committee meeting.

Ever notice that Democrats are always on Satan’s side?

Yep. They don't object to killing babies. They object when someone exposes the ongoing baby-killing. Elijah Cummings supports Planned Barrenhood. Planned Barrenhood kills black babies. Therefore ...

Elijah Cummings supports killing black babies. Elijah Cummings is a baby-killer. Same as the rest of the demonicrat party.

They are fully in the employment of the militant fangtooth feminazis, and would never do anything to get them mad.

No. Demonic thug lives matter. That 'black lives' thing is a lie, based on a lie, based on yet another lie.
