Cummings will do his best to deflect from the findings of the report, except to say the liberal talking point “there was no political bias”.
This man not only lives in the swamp, but rents out land in the swamp.

I’m not sure if Cummings realizes his mic is on, or if he loses the concept of volume in his voice as he’s gotten older.
He’s been yelling for a few minutes already.

Cummings going off the rails (and faking crying), saying that the US has child internment camps..
Does he remember this is a hearing about the IG Report?

Goodlatte: FBI replaced 'Obama' with senior government official, regarding someone who was emailing with HRC on her private server.
Remember, Obama said he didn't know about the emails and only learned from the news.

I wouldn't expect @twitter to let either of these terms trends today, even though IG Report had over 100,000 tweets yesterday.
But keep at it anyway and expose their bias.

Jerry Nadler is asking why we are even talking about Clinton emails at all..
Completely disregarding the findings that she not only had TOP SECRET emails on her computer... But had a MAID print them out and destroyed evidenced that was rightfully subpoenaed.

It's so hysterical that the Dems are trying to say that @Comey's actions were to HELP Trump. 😂
The reason he made the public statements about reopening HRC investigation was to CLEAR her before the election otherwise NYPD would release Weiner laptop info.

I think Cummings read, and is repeating other Dem member's testimony from yesterday because he's just repeating the same things they said yesterday.. Waiting for him to mention Giuliani for the hat trick.

Good round of questioning by @RepGoodlatte right now.
Dismantles the Intent argument.
Gets Horowitz to almost admit that Trump's firing of @Comey was justified. He danced around it, but was smiling during his answer.
