Emails suggest Elijah Cummings prompted IRS targeting of True the Vote

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has accused the panel's top Democrat of prompting the Internal Revenue Service in 2012 to target a conservative organization applying for non-profit status. Issa said records obtained last week from the IRS show communications from the office of ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., about True the Vote, a Texas-based, non-profit conservative group that aims to prevent voter fraud. The communications at one point involved Lois Lerner, the ex-IRS official whom Issa's panel is poised to hold in contempt of Congress on Thursday for refusing to provide testimony about her involvement in targeting conservative groups.

Again, before the usual suspects come in here screaming... I said "If True".
I want to see the entire email.
Btw, if this is true, could ethics violations be brought against cummings for these doings? Mainly for not disclosing this beforehand.

I hope this drags down all of the scum.
No wonder Elijah is so apoplectic at the hearings, he knows his arse is on the line.

I would like a screen shot of said email. I want the exact wording of the emails.
I don't give a rat's arse about suggest. Issa has been dancing around this whole thing for the past 2 years.
He needs to shite or get off the pot and let someone more competent take over.

According to Issa, Cummings and his staff sought “copies of all training materials used for volunteers, affiliates, or other entities,” from True the Vote.
Five days after the Cummings inquiry, the IRS sent True the Vote an email requesting “a copy of [True the Vote’s] volunteer registration form,” “… the process you use to assign volunteers,” “how you keep your volunteers in teams,” and “how your volunteers are deployed … following the training they receive by you.”
Issa said Cummings and his office asked for more information in January 2013 about True the Vote, this time getting Lerner involved.
At one point, an email revealed, Lerner asked her deputy, “Did we find anything?”
When the deputy said she had not received any new information, Lerner responded, “thanks – check tomorrow please.”
Issa said Cummings had previously denied asking the IRS about True the Vote.

Yup, if these emails are real, it def shows why cummings has been so staunch in trying to shut this shite down.
Hope the piece of shite goes to prison and gets his a-hole destroyed if true.

I want to see the evidence.
It has gotten to the point where I feel Issa is just prolonging keeping his name in the spotlight.

"In his response, Cummings said the GOP has falsely accused him of wrongly contacting the IRS about True the Vote. Cummings said in the letter that he has publicly stated his interest in finding more about True the Vote, which supports voter ID laws that Cummings opposes.
Cummings said in his letter that his inquiries were appropriate and did not violate any rules. His requests, Cummings added, were for publicly available information.
Cummings said the letter from Issa and others Republicans is "a desperate attempt to shift the focus on tomorrow's contempt vote away from the serious Constitutional deficiencies in these proceedings."

Exactly. This whole thing is just getting absurd.

So why was Lerner brought into the loop if it was publicly available?
