Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was not dead for 24 hours before theories started popping up about some questionable signatures hed recently penned on a few congressional subpoenas.
BizPac Review reports that when one signature from the late congressman was compared to other documents that had been signed by him, the penmanship was hardly similar, leading many to believe one of his staffers may have forged his signature.
Is it forgery? The subpoenas in question were meant to block the removal of illegal immigrants who were suffering from severe medical problems.
Some have wondered whether Cummings really signed them, however, or if he was perhaps too ill to do so.
That speculation has prompted Twitter sleuths to do some digging, and quite a few people came up with various documents that were allegedly signed by Cummings, but that depicted a John Hancock that looked nothing at all like his normal signature.

You be the judge.

But where there are allegations of forgery, a full investigation is warranted.
Indeed, what if this is merely the act of some rogue staffer trying to paint a picture of a dedicated servant of the people who used his last breath to fight back against the evil that is Donald Trump?
Is that really so hard to believe?
Whether the allegations are true or not, its sad that such a controversy has to stain Cummings record so soon after his unfortunate death.
But wherever there are Democrats, you can bet theres some shady business going on there. The Dems have proven that statement true time and time again.
“Soon, his criminal wife will make a play for the seat’
Once she changes her name to “Rockymoore-Cummings”, you know she’s in.
Will probably have the ballots printed with just “CUMMINGS” in big, bold type to make it easy for the folks.
Think it would be a good argument that he was not of clear mind to sign anything, especially something that serious, while under the influence of any narcotic. Should be void if that is ever said.
bttt
They aren’t even close to being alike. Leave it to the hapless democrats to screw it up. They aren’t even good at corruption anymore. They ate pathetic creeps.
Give us handwriting samples from each of his staff and we will be able to tell you who forged the document! Lets just include his wife to be safe!
Were the so called Signatures written in Blood or Drool?
Cummings was a Hater until the bitter end.
I’ll just say that if I was trying to do a forgery, it would have been a much closer signature without trying much. I read that he was in hospice, for how long I don’t know. Many times people are totally out in hospice before they finally die, not just in a weakened, drugged state. It’s not pretty, and why would he just not have relinquished his committee duties to Mahoney, the next in line?
Uh, he used that to snort coke...
That is a forged signature
Look at both “E’s”, the letters “i and j” as well the letters “h and g”.
They are not remotely close
I make more sense under morphine.
What does that prove?
/S
Thanks for the insight—agreed these are forgeries.
I hope yours moves in a different direction however. I’ve never been given any, actually almost no drugs, currently just had a steak with Bordeaux from Paulliac though, so I’m not very argumentative at the moment.
When I used to sign for my boss, I was required to add a slash and my initials. That way the boss knew who signed it.
Weak.
I’m having Bloody Mary’s...Spicey...
>>Even if not forged...how does he even have the power to do this?
The subpoenas in question were meant to block the removal of illegal immigrants who were suffering from severe medical problems<<
My guess is if the people were under subpoena to testify before Congress, then they couldn’t be deported.
Not really. That’s just juice with a meal. Had a shot of Colonel EH Taylor 100 for dessert while watching football.

Thanks Marv. Remember, all, it isn't the plausibility or the evidence, it's always about the seriousness of the charge.
Here's where I think this started, and is headed.
I believe it started with Thad Cochran's staff, afraid of losing their base of power to Mississippi's state Senator Chris McDaniel. Besides running a despicable racist, partially illegal, and personal destruction campaign, it was staff self-preservation that motivated them to run an incoherent Cochran.
Now, we have an apparently deathbed sick Elijah Cummings, and his staff was forging his signature to advance their agenda, despite the illegality and whatever intentions the people of Maryland-7 expected when he was elected.
Next, we will see the "Elijah Cummings seat," like the "Ted Kennedy seat" or the "Thurgood Marshall seat" and "Ruth Bader-Ginsburg" seat. In other words, the staff will remain and demand that they replace the leader, instead of the leader being elected to represent the people and that leader forming his own staff.
The early-warning sign is a staff that refuses to accept the end, and forges the signature of the elected Representative in order to advance the staff's agenda.
