Related: About this forum#ComeyHearing - Cummings: "This is an abuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes."
Jul 7, 2016
Representative Elijah E. Cummings: "We could have held todays hearing on the Zika virus, preventing gun massacres like the one in Orlando, or a host of other topics that could actually save peoples 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 its an abuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes."

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.
