Since that filing in 2010, my private businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and family have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit or inquiry by federal agencies. * In 2011, my personal and business tax returns were audited by the Internal Revenue Service, each audit going back for a number of years. * In 2012, my business was subjected to inspection by OSHA, on a select occasion when neither my husband nor I were present, and though the agency wrote that it found nothing serious or significant, it still issued fines in excess of $20,000. * In 2012 and again in 2013 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms conducted comprehensive audits at my place business. * Beginning in 2010, the FBI contacted my nonprofit organization on six separate occasions – wanting to cull through membership manifests in conjunction with domestic terrorism cases. They eventually dropped all matters and have now redacted nearly all my files.

Three times, Representative Elijah Cummings sent letters to True the Vote, demanding much of the same information that the IRS had requested. Hours after sending letters, he would appear on cable news and publicly defame me and my organization. Such tactics are unacceptable. It is for these reasons that immediately after this hearing I am filing a formal complaint with the House Office of Congressional Ethics and asking for a full investigation.

The Cummings confusion Power Line by Scott Johnson Elijah Cummings is a key player in covering up and disseminating disinformation regarding the criminal misconduct of the IRS. From his perch as the ranking minority member of the House Oversight Committee, Cummings does his best to sow confusion as the committee pursues its investigation of the IRS. My daughter Eliana took a look at a piece of the Cummings story this past June in “The IRS’s best friend in Congress.” Cummings was back at it last week when Catherine Engelbrecht et al. appeared to testify at the House subcommittee hearing chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan this past Thursday. John saluted Ms. Engelbrecht’s performance and posted video of her testimony here. The video below captures Cummings doing the wrong thing with Ms. Engelbrecht during the subcommittee hearing this past Thursday. Cummings plays the race card and Ms. Engelbrecht shows it to be an utter falsehood. Cummings cites a 2012 report promulgated by the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights accusing Ms. Engelbrecht’s True the Vote organization of sending poll watchers only to heavily minority counties. Ms. Engelbrecht explains to a seemingly confused Cummings that True The Vote sends no volunteers anywhere. Rather, the organization only trains poll workers. Not the least bit deterred or apologetic, Cummings keeps up his line of questions to the bitter end, concluding with the request that Ms. Engelbrecht concede the “allegations” would be bad if true. It would be even worse if Elijah Cummings were an evil bastard. Unfortunately, unlike Cummings’s “allegations,” that possibility appears not to be contrary to fact. He spews imputations of racism without the least restraint of decency or conscience. In days of yore, at least on some occasions, liberals used to decry this sort of thing. Do take a look at the video of Cummings at work. It displays one version of the Democratic state of the art. In the video below, FNC’s Megyn Kelly asks Ms. Engelbrecht about the ethics complaint she has filed against Cummings. Unless you get your news from FNC, this might all be a complete mystery to you. powerlineblog.com UPDATE: Via InstaPundit, more here.
