Cummings and his third wife are getting a pass. They are using a popular criminal scam.....
similar named business and a n/p lets them shuffle money around like a deck of cards.

In late May, the National Legal and Policy Center filed an IRS complaint against Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, who is the wife of Elijah Cummings. The Complaint describes a score of apparent Internal Revenue Code violations, including prohibited private benefit and inurement of the Cummings.

<><> The Cummings' group has received millions in grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (which has issues in Cummings' committee),
<><> in late 2017, they were granted a million-dollar contract from the GSA (feds). The funds were purportedly provided to fight childhood obesity.

The Complaint asks the IRS to investigate whether “its organizers are getting fat off the grants.” At the same time she heads CGPS, Mrs. Cummings heads a for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC, whose operations appear to have been indistinguishable from those of CGPS. The two entities have shared office space, telephones, etc., all of which are flagrant violations of the Internal Revenue Code.

Financial Documents Reveal Cummings’ Wife’s Companies Had Over $250,000 in Overlapping Business
IJR ^ | 6/06/19 | Madison Dibble /FR Posted by Libloather

**SNIP** Documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show that Rockeymoore Cummings’ for-profit consulting firm, Global Policy Solutions LLC, was paid more than $250,000 by her charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions. The Daily Caller notes that between 2013 and 2015, the charity paid Rockeymoore Cummings’ for-profit firm “management fees” totaling more than $250,000. Additionally, the nonprofit and for-profit entities had a cost-sharing contract highlighting their joint property, as the two entities are housed at the same address

**SNIP** Although the NLPC’s complaint was focused on Rockeymoore Cummings’ 2017 business transactions and the congressman’s potential influence, Anderson believes the documents obtained by the Daily Caller from 2013 to 2015 show the same illegal behavior. (Excerpt) Read more at ijr.com ...

It would be more persuasive if Trump refuted specific false statements of Cummings.

Actually it wouldn't.

That is what Republicans have tried to do for decades and the left just laughs at them for it. The media gives it no coverage, the people pay no attention to it and the Dems twist it and make it into something that works for them.

Trump is turning all of that on its head and effectively controlling the narrative.

I don’t think most Americans want the President to sound like this.

Truth is good. Repeat that daily until you understand it.

Trump is right and I agree with his tweets. I only wish that he'd spend a minute before posting to re-read his tweet and its wording / phrasing in order to avoid creating a tactical opening for the MSM to pounce and go on the attack for a week.

Remember when Geo. Bush wouldn't respond to any attack but would lay there like a wet dish cloth? Did that behavior garner any respect from the political opposition? Any citations from the press for such noble behavior. I don't think so. Bush was still labeled a nazi.

If only he worded his tweets better the media would be fair to Trump!

If only the right people were in charge socialism would work!

Do you think either one of those statements has an ounce of reality in it?

actually it is great,,the MSM and the Democrats will not shut about it
Everyone knows the truth about Baltimore ....more of the public will get tired of the race calling for telling the truth BS

Here is the Democratic platform for 2020:

Impeachment for nothing and Trump is a racist for telling the truth

“Trump is right and I agree with his tweets. I only wish that he’d spend a minute before posting to re-read his tweet and its wording / phrasing in order to avoid creating a tactical opening for the MSM to pounce and go on the attack for a week.”

Here’s where we disagree.
I think he knows full well how the media / Democrats will react. This is his way of getting his agenda OUT THERE. When they attack his comments, they also have to repeat them. So suddenly the focus is on Baltimore being a rat infested hellhole - and, more than that, a rat infested hellhole RUN BY DEMOCRATS.

Win. Win. Win.

Interesting choice of words but where is the problem?

The money was supposed to be to fight OBESITY so the natural conclusion is someone gets fat...

It is a government program, after all.

"All democrat run cities are rat infested."

Los Angeles is experiencing a minor epidemic of measles, some typhoid cases, and highly expects the Bubonic Plague to re-appear. I can hardly wait until some politician and/or celebrity gets the plague. Then what will they say about the 1000's on their streets? "They are just the unfortunates"?

Bullshit - they are what we use to call BUMS who don't want to live within societal norms. Yes, there are the exceptions, but most of these low-lifes won't even accept the offer of shelters until it gets cold, although will take the food from the fools who feed them. Just too many rules for these once romantacized hoboes.

Scrape them and their tents/tarps/boxes and feces and drugs off the streets and put them in fenced compounds/camps out in the Mojave desert. Provide them with water and food, but let them shit in their own nests. I'm serious. I've lost all compassion for these parasites.

Also, make the local politicians visit that cesspool once a week.

My VERY BEST bosses were the ones who would go to war with me on my behalf. But I never had one who operated at the level of Donald Trump!

The President’s RESPONSE was directed against a tirade on our border patrol agents along the border working in an impossible situation.

The fault lies at the feet of the anti-Trump cabal in Congress who won’t give him an inch of progress.

Reminds me of a quote from Sam Houston: “The Truth burns, but burns clean!” If a place is a rat infested mess—it must be called out and cleaned up before loads of people die of diseases. I bet people are even now. Think pollution is bad, wait till they have to burn millions of bodies! Glad Trump speaks the truth as he sees it. He doesn’t tell us what we want to hear but what we need to hear.

Precisely! It is the ONLY way he can have his views covered by the media. They will not give two minutes of airtime to a politely spoken well reasoned POV. It is more of a reflection of the ground he has to work on than it is on him.

I would typically agree, however, we are now in the ‘bleeding kansas’ phase of whatever is coming. Conventional norms may need to be cast aside. We’re in the fight of our lives against an insidious enemy who will give no quarter. I saw take the gloves off and ran it down their throats.
