So Elijah Cummings graduated to the select #Benghazi committee. But Issa did not.

The 5 Democrats who will sit on the Select Solyndra IRS Committee to Investigate the Benghazi ACORN Birth Certificate include Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), Adam Smith (D-WA), Adam B. Schiff (D-CA), Linda T. Sanchez (D-CA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL).
I’m sure some people will object to Democrats choosing to participate in the committee, but I believe the Republicans will look worse for railroading the committee while Democrats sit on it than they would for carrying out the witch hunt without dissent.
And what better way to troll Darrell Issa than to appoint Elijah Cummings to the select committee? Issa can’t cut off his microphone now, can he?
Tell me, did the White House “orchestrate” Cummings’ rise to the select committee?
As far as I’m concerned, just making Darrell Issa look like he was handed his hat is worth it.
I agreed to participate for two reasons: first as Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee, and I've seen how abusive the GOP has been.

I feel we need someone in the room to defend the truth.
