Dems need to be careful what they wish for

Itâs always dangerous to call for a standard for President Trump that you cannot live up to yourself. With Nancy Pelosi reportedly out to imprison President Trump, and House Oversight Committee chairman Elijah Cummings claiming that he âdeserves the mark of impeachment, top Democrats seem to be calling for serious penalties for misconduct. Real law & order fanatics?
Maybe they should think that over, as Andrew Kerr of the Daily Caller News Foundation reminds them:
House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummingsâs wife has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from her charity to her private for-profit organization, according to a previously undisclosed cost-sharing arrangement that multiple experts said raises red flags.
Maya Rockeymoore Cummingsâs charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid her for-profit venture, Global Policy Solutions LLC, over $250,000 in âmanagement feesâ between 2013 and 2015, according to the charityâs audited financial statements covering those years. The management fees were paid in addition to a cost-sharing agreement where the charity pays for its share of equipment, personnel and other expenditures.
Rockeymoore Cummingsâs charity is funded by companies with interests before her husbandâs congressional committee, according to the Washington Examiner.
Itâs self-dealing. Itâs taking the charityâs resources and turning them into personal profits,â National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) investigator Tom Anderson told The Daily Caller News Foundation. âIRS law doesnât allow a charity for this purpose. This isnât for the public interest, this is for her personal interest. You canât do that.â

Like his fellow honorable Congressman John Conyers Jr. whose wife went to jail. This may soon be happening to the honorable Elijah Cummings too,
Elijah Cummings is far from the only DC âpublic servantâ whose family has done very well by the federal employee ostensibly doing good.
Check out the fortunes of the spouses of Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein. Die-hard Trump haters who claim that a foreign diplomat checking in at a Trump Hotel constitutes an emoluments clause infraction ought to think over the standards they want applied to federal office holders.
Taxpayers must Demand that the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals be examined, as to who might be personally profiting and if financing domestic terrorism is being facilitated.
Democrats have NO standards.
As Alinsky said, "make them (the conservatives) abide by (i.e., hold them to) their own standards."
