“We’ve never treated an IG office like this.”This prompted a heated retort from the committee’s leading Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who raised his voice and was at times almost shaking as he vowed to uncover the “whole truth.” He claimed nobody was trying to attack the IG.
Cummings is a bald-faced liar! He wants nothing more than to cast doubts on the Inspector General and the probe into the IRS. He is hoping to have a "CHILLING EFFECT" on all the hearing delving into this corrupt administration.
Cummings is, ironically enough since the IG is black, is not too subtlety affording his "First Black" President as much race and political cover as possible without breaking down the support of the willing and sycophant press coverage.
Although it will not be openly stated, Elijah Cummings' tirades are as much about racial protection, if not more, than any sense of Democrat 'whitewashing.' m/r
Watchdog decries ‘unprecedented’ treatment by Dems at IRS hearing | Fox News

The government watchdog who issued the report that found the IRS was targeting conservative groups was turned into a punching bag by Democrats in the second half of a tense hearing Thursday, leading Inspector General J. Russell George to chide lawmakers for their attacks on his office.
“This is unprecedented,” he said of his treatment before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at the end of the hearing.
The first half of the hearing was devoted to testimony from IRS officials who claimed higher-ups in Washington, D.C., were involved in applying additional scrutiny to Tea Party and other groups.
....“I have to admit, I am a little concerned that this type of forum could have a chilling effect on the operations of inspectors general,” George said, referring specifically to the second-guessing of how the audit was run.
He added: “We’ve never treated an IG office like this.”
