Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the newly minted 'chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee'....
The first unchallenged inaccuracy was the chairman’s announcement that he has the power to investigate anything.... This is factually incorrect. Congress can only pursue information necessary to inform its legislative duties. Not once did Cummings mention any contemplated legislation. Voters elect legislators, not opposition researchers or public relations operatives.
Another untruth: Cummings gloated that he didn’t need to consult with Republicans before issuing subpoenas. however, consultation remains a requirement. In fact, Cummings previously advocated for more than consultation and demanded that consent from the minority party be a requirement before issuing a subpoena. It would behoove Cummings to get his own story straight before he challenges others.
The chairman complained that he received zero documents from the Trump administration when he was the committee's ranking member....I personally know this isn’t true: While working at the Department of Homeland Security, I processed several responses to letters with Cummings' name on the signature line.
Credible reporting requires that the media challenge Cummings when he presents such untruths.

This guy is a bumbling, ignorant frigen moron
The media Fact checking a Dem? LOL
Ge is silly, but he is not the pure evil that Schiff is.
What if these people hold these meetings, and the republicans don’t show up?
The ‘Media’ don’t give a rat’s hind leg. They will cover for the addlepated dunce for all it’s worth..............
Elijah isn’t about oversight and reform, he did what he could to defend Hillary’s lies at the Benghazi hearing
Well that’s why we bring these articles and news here to FR so we get the truth of these corrupt lying characters.
There’s no reason to insult bumbling, ignorant morons by comparing them to Elijah Cummings.
That makes him dangerous in the position he welds now.
...”The media Fact checking a Dem? LOL”....
Wishful thinking at best.
Elijah Cummings is the male version of Loud yapping Maxine Waters....Both nothing More than the pit bulls Nancy and Shulmer send out to say what they won’t.
He and the other two new heads will bounce between each other...what one cannot legally do the other will pick up that can...all to go after Trump.
All of the DC Demoncraps are dishonest and evil. Maybe Schiffstain is one of the worst, but others are not too far behind.
Picking on poor Elijah on his 68th birthday.
We should double down, he is old enough to know better than to pick on MY Donald.
Cummings is a lying, race baiting, pig ignorant piece of garbage. He couldn’t qualify as a Walmart greeter.
Well played.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
A black male AOC.
