#ComeyHearing - Cummings: "This is an abuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes."



Jul 7, 2016

Representative Elijah E. Cummings: "We could have held today’s hearing on the Zika virus, preventing gun massacres like the one in Orlando, or a host of other topics that could actually save people’s lives.
But that is not why we are here. That is not why our Chairman called this emergency hearing 48 hours after Director Comey made his recommendation. Everyone knows what this Committee is doing, and it’s an abuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes."

Cummings said it like it is...." Everyone knows what this Committee is doing, and it’s an abuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes."

So many problems facing this country and ryan ignores all of them.

My dad always said the less they do the better ,best is when they don't do anything. So wasting a few mill on another investigation is a way toe keep them off the street.
