During a hearing of the House Oversight Committee into allegations that the Internal Revenue Service scrutinized conservative groups’ tax-exempt status filings unduly, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) exploded at Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (D-CA). Cummings charged that the way in which the proceedings were being conducted were “Un-American.” In apparent protest, Issa then walked out of the committee hearing.
While making a statement before the committee, Issa stood up and asked Cummings to yield.
“If you will sit down and allow me to ask a question,” Cummings insisted. “I am a member of a Congress of the United States of America.”

That is not an investigation, it's a cover-up! And it's not the first from this bunch of arrogant thugs!
Cummings making a spectacle to take the spotlight off the real issue. Dems up to old tricks again, nothing more to it.
Correct, so Lerner has nothing to fear.
No.
Oh, and NOT ONE ‘reporter’ asked about Lerner taking the 5th. AGAIN. They all asked about why Issa didn’t allow Cummings to speak (lecture Issa) instead.
If I didn’t know better I would think the ‘reporters’ were ignorant, lazy and partisan. /s
A subsequent comment amplified the fact that her salary is paid by the people she is refusing to answer to. Although it is to the point, the democrat machine's ability to smirk at the law as they skip past the bench seems to be growing.
Behind the scene my be is that through various liberal money machines Obama has promised her a big pile of cash to be followed by a presidential pardon as he exits the White House if she'll play this out and take the hit. While it seemed that she was uncomfortable for a bit, her arrogant sneer today made me believe that she is confident in her future.
Hey, nobody’s going to do time for this. Or pretty much any of the other shenanigans in this administration.
IRS just doing the dim and gope dirty work. DC approves.
Just FYI
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA). He’s a Republican.
We should show them just how un-American we are by showing up at post offices across the country on April 15th and burning our tax returns.
It is all show. So far, no actions on the part of Issa, just more meetings after meetings. No prosecutions, no impeachments, nothing.
Really? Then who? Holder’s department investigated Holder when he was found in contempt of Congress, but this is different?
Give her immunity.
Yep. Pat Caddell is looking more correct all the time.
In the video someone is clearly signaling Issa with a hand gesture to leave the hearing. Following that, Issa then leaves.
He is Republican and he has the tough job of making it look like the GOP cares that the IRS was used as a weapon against conservatives.
The purpose of the Democrat party is to elect thieves to office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.
The Democrats will do anything to protect their access to the public treasuries. The Democrats are not going to sit quietly with their heads bowed in shame while their party takes hits. Of course The Democrats are going to scream. They scream when they are losing. They don’t want to have to go out and work for money.
No Cummings, whats UN-American is for the government to persecute a certain section of “We the People” that don’t agree with your views with an arm of the government.
Issa knew this was coming. Cummings could have asked procedural questions before beginning of her testimony. But he didnt... that’s curious... Oh because he wasnt looking for clarification but rather confusion.
