Trey has nailed down some things in that letter. Blumenthal and Hillary collusion to gain private business in Libya.

Ethics violations, this thing is goes on and on with more revelations.

Trey needs to stay on the committee.

There are a lot of knuckle dragging freepers who wouldn’t have any more luck reading a 13 page letter than elijah cummings. Gowdy has been running the committee perfectly. The only hitch has been RINO McCarthy sticking his foot in his mouth.

Wow. Gowdy knows how to twist the knife. Imagine he has much more that will skewer the dealings of Clinton and Sid Viscious.

Cummings will give the letter to Hank Johnson to read then explain to him.

...could be a tipping point.

In some ways I agree with you, especially when it comes to that lying, crooked Cummings, BUT, we need someone who can put the House back together again, and I think Trey is the man....sorry....

Hillary is the one politicizing the Benghazi hearing. Read on.

Gowdy needs to be aware....the smiling Hillary keeps saying she "looks forward" to testifying ..... her way of duping the unsuspecting.The facts are these:

HILLARY PLANS TO USE HER APPEARANCE BEFORE CONGRESS AS A CAMPAIGN FUND-RAISER: Hillary's Hollywood-based fund-raiser told the LA Times....”Hillary’s much-anticipated testimony on the Benghazi matter before a congressional committee, will allow her to “further showcase her strength as a candidate.”

=============================================

The Clintons never do anything unless it involves money. Bill was recently rushed to the mic b/c Hillary’s big-buck donors are holding-out.

THE LA TIMES REPORTS Hillary's Super-PAC—”Priorities USA”— had a lackluster first quarter, raising just $15 million (a big chunk of it coming from Hollywierdos).

BILL WAS COACHED BY HILLARY'S DESPERATE FUND-RAISER TO SAY: “She is being attacked by 16 Republican campaigns and super PACs run by the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, et cetera. She needs resources to respond and put out a positive message. The super PAC is critically important at this stage of the campaign,” the scripted Bill said.

Gowdy knows. Gowdy knows a lot. And now I know why he didn’t throw his hat into the Speaker race. He has his sights set on the truth of Benghazi and neither hell, high water or Elijah Cummings is gonna keep him from getting there. Admirable.

13 pages. Wow. If that is taken to Guam, it might cause it to capsize.

Almost every comment on this thread is a clear example of why we lose.

Liberals are results-oriented. Instead of sending a letter, a Liberal tactic would be to beat the crap out of an opponent and burn his house down. Threaten his family. Destroy his career and livelihood. Silence and neutralize the opponent. Forever.

Conservatives are process oriented, meaning that we're focused on following the rules and procedures and make sure we "do the right thing."

Gowdy is using classic Conservative "tactics":

He sent a f*cking LETTER.

If anybody can explain to me how a f*cking LETTER will destroy a Liberal and gain even the smallest victory that has eluded us for at least the past 7 years, I'd love to hear it.

This is nothing more than political theater.

Take that, and that, and THAT! Throw both of them in handcuffs and into jail. Jailed together — Elijah and Hillary! My dream.

Conflict of Interest: Elijah Cummings Knee Deep in IRS Scandal
Posted on March 6, 2015 by Steven Ahle
Elijah_Cummings_113th_Congress

Cleta Mitchell, who is representing True the Vote, filed an ethics probe against Elijah Cummings on February 6th (2014) with the Office of Congressional Ethics . Last fall, True the Vote started receiving 8 and 9 page letters from Cummings, claiming he was conducting an investigation of their organization as part of the House Oversight Committee. One problem. The House Oversight Committee is only allowed to investigate government agencies. Going after a private citizen is illegal.

Mitchell wants to find out if Cummings is responsible in part, or completely, for the harassment of Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote. After Cummings launched his “investigation”, Engelbrecht had her business audited twice, her personal taxes once, two visits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a surprise visit from OSHA, and seven visits from the FBI.

Last week, emails were released to the committee that showed that Cummings was working with Lois Lerner, which is why he attempted to scuttle the investigation into the IRS, immediately as soon as it was announced.

Cleta Mitchell is turning up the heat with her public statements such as:

“In the fall of 2012, True the Vote received a series of letters — eight, nine, 10 page letters from Elijah Cummings out of the blue, conducting what he claimed was ‘his investigation of True the Vote.’ Now mind you, the jurisdiction of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee is federal agencies. It is not private citizens’ groups in Houston, Texas.”

“Congressman Cummings sent this series of letters demanding all this material and information from True the Vote. This went on for several months, and then he would get on national TV, MSNBC of course, and before the letters had been received by True the Vote he’d be waving these letters around and that he’s conducting an investigation, which of course he has no authority under the House rules to do.”

“On behalf of True the Vote, we filed a complaint against Rep. Cummings on February 6 with the Office of Congressional Ethics asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Rep. Cummings or any member of his staff had played any role in getting any of the agencies that went after Catherine Engelbrecht and her family after she became involved with True the Vote. Two IRS audits about the business, her personal tax returns, two visits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a surprise visit from OSHA, seven visits from the FBI. I mean, these are not coincidences. And so we wanted to know what role Rep. Cummings or any of his staff had played in any of that and why Rep. Cummings undertook to misrepresent that he was conducting an investigation of True the Vote, which we think was in violation of House rules.”

Before the 2012 election, there seemed to be a concerted effort by democrats to get the IRS and other agencies onto the backs of conservative groups.
