Democrat Elijah Cummings Emails Could Land Him in Prison

By Douglas V. Gibbs

As the media circus about Hillary Clinton using her own email servers for State Department emails, something she accused the Bush administration of doing, is rattling loudest, another email story regarding a democrat has also slammed into the wall, shattering the love some uninformed voters who are finally paying attention had for the Democrat Party.

One wonders if a true investigation was conducted, would the honest Democrats be a very small minority after all?

In the case of Cummings, it wasn't the passing of sensitive State Department information to hide what was being done (Isn't that the obvious reason for Hillary's secret email account?  To hide her actions?  And what do we call politicians going out of their way to hide the truth from We the People?), but to hide his secret emails regarding attacks against conservative groups that dared to act in defiance of the hard left statist ideology.

Does this make him an accomplice that colluded with the IRS and Lois Lerner to attack what he considered to be political opposition?

Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder of “True the Vote,” testified before Congress in February.
She was targeted by FBI, IRS, ATF, and OSHA after she filed for tax exempt status for her voters rights group.

Engelbrecht said during her testimony before Congress and Cummings, “Frankly, to sit before my accuser and be silent in the face of what he did was unconscionable.”

The House Oversight Committee has released a ton of emails showing that the IRS during 2012 and 2013 was feeding Rep. Cummings with confidential tax information on the voter fraud prevention group True the Vote, a conservative voter fraud prevention group.  The emails revealed the IRS and Cummings’ staff asking for nearly identical information from True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht about her organization, indicating coordination and improper sharing of confidential taxpayer information.

And people doubt me when I say the democrats and some of the establishment republicans are actively working in a coordinated manner to silence their conservative opposition.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa, and five Subcommittee Chairmen, have demanded from Cummings an explanation for the staff inquiries to the IRS about True the Vote and for his denial that his staff ever contacted the IRS about the group.

“Although you have previously denied that your staff made inquiries to the IRS about conservative organization True the Vote that may have led to additional agency scrutiny, communication records between your staff and IRS officials – which you did not disclose to Majority Members or staff – indicates otherwise,” the letter to Cummings states. “As the Committee is scheduled to consider a resolution holding Ms. Lerner, a participant in responding to your communications that you failed to disclose, in contempt of Congress, you have an obligation to fully explain your staff’s undisclosed contacts with the IRS.”

When they asked for information from the IRS, Lerner, if she had no information, simply responded, "Check tomorrow, please."

Cummings denied that his staff, “might have been involved in putting True the Vote on the radar screen of some of these Federal agencies” at a February 6, 2014, Subcommittee hearing.

The progressives seeking a socialist utopia through statist control have been lying to you, and have been colluding together to silence and eliminate any who dare to stand against them. . . and if you are shocked, you haven't been paying attention.
