Not happening anytime soon – No More Lies, Mr. Cummings: Tell America The Truth.
Washington is reeling as Rep. Elijah Cummings’ (D-MD) true role in the IRS abuse scandal has come to light. Emails released by the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, of which Cummings is the ranking member, show Cummings and his staff communicating with Lois Lerner while the IRS targeted True the Vote for abuse.
“Today’s committee action reveals what we knew all along. Partisan politics and the weaponization of government against opponents of this administration is real and continues,” said True the Vote president Catherine Engelbrecht. “Elijah Cummings has blocked the IRS abuse investigation all along. We now see clearly that two branches of government have colluded to target and silence private citizens.
There is a story here, a real story and in a United Staes with a media that had any ethics this would be front page news. Unfortunately, we don’t have an MSM with ethics, it’s not rudderless either, it has a rudder that is proudly turned “hard left”.
Here is how True the Vote describes themselves (from the footer of the link)..
True the Vote (TTV) a nonpartisan, voters’rights and election integrity organization focused on preserving election integrity and is operated by citizens for citizens, to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of our electoral process. TTV empowers organizations and individuals across the nation to actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

Most likely reading the above causes Progressives hair stand on in. But I have to ask, exactly what is wrong with election integrity? Perhaps Progressives don’t take True the Votes’ description at face value? Color me skeptical of that point of view, but even if it is, the damage, specifically in the form of distrust, this has done to our political system and our government institutions by the IRS scandal is much larger then any damage True the Vote could ever inflict. Perhaps this is a mission accomplished moment for Progressives?
