One of the most high-profile victims of the IRS Tea Party targeting scandal is planning to unveil surprising new allegations about the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at a hearing this morning.
Catherine Engelbrecht, the head of election integrity group True The Vote and Tea Party group King Street Patriots, alleges Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) demanded information from her group in a similar manner to the IRS, according to her testimony. “Hours after sending letters, he would appear on cable news and publicly defame me and my organization,” Engelbrecht said.
The Tea Party leader is filing a formal ethics complaint against Cummings with the Office of Congressional Ethics, a panel of outside advisers who review allegations and refer those they consider to have merit to the official Hosue Ethics Committee.
Engelbrecht is one of several witnesses testifying at an oversight subcommittee hearing on the IRS scandal on Thursday. The committee’s subcommittee on Economic Growth, Job Creation and Regulatory Affairs will be holding a hearing titled: “The IRS Targeting Investigation: What is the Administration Doing?”
In her opening statement, published on the committee’s website late Wednesday, Engelbrecht offers the painstaking details of how the IRS and administration as a whole targeted her, noting “my private businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and family have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit or inquiry by federal agencies.”
Engelbrecht said she is disgusted with Cummings’ behavior, and that Cummings was engaged in activity that “misrepresent[s] this governing body in an effort to demonize and intimidate citizens.”
“Such tactics are unacceptable,” Engelbrecht wrote in her prepared testimony. “It is for these reasons that immediately after this hearing I am filing a formal complaint with the House Office of Congressional Ethics and asking for a full investigation.”

bull crap...
Cummings is more than black...he is EVIL just like obama..
not every white person is racist, in fact most of us aren’t..it is the black race that always falls back on ‘racist’ that is obama’s favorite card to use as well...the CBC is very racist, so much so that white are not permitted in their ‘groupie’
How long before Boner says Cummings is a great public servant and the lady must have misunderstood his intentions?
File another complaint? Pfft...
We should be burning down their houses.
They will be burning ours soon, it appears with all the corruption .
tar and feathers seems more appropriate
It’s about time we started giving the Rats a taste of their own medicine.
Elijah is about to enter the fiery whirlwind.
Engelbrecht said she is disgusted with Cummings’ behavior, and that Cummings was engaged in activity that “misrepresent[s] this governing body in an effort to demonize and intimidate citizens.”
Cummings takes after Mugabe and the rest of his corrupt, banana-republic brethren in Africa.
After Cummings retires, there is always a position available for him in Zimbabwe. Noting his congressional district, however, he'll probably stay until carried out supine, at room temperature.
