NO PIMPING IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL RECONCILIATION: A paraphrase of an assessment of Elijah Cummings’ behavior found in the linked article:

Elijah Cummings, the Maryland Democrat who pimped his own reputation to protect the Clintons during investigations of Hillary’s email server and the Benghazi terrorist massacre of 2012, tried to cover for the Clintons again. This time in the name of national reconciliation. “After everything our country has just been through—and particularly given that Donald Trump and [House Speaker] Paul Ryan have both called for healing our nation’s divisions — I think the American people deserve more from Congress than to continue squandering taxpayer dollars on these baseless Republican accusations and partisan attacks,” he said in a statement, according to The Washington Post.

Yes, Cummings harmed his own reputation. Read Part IV of the Select Committee on Benghazi’s report. You’ll find indications that several things Cummings said and did vaguely stink of obstruction of justice.

Obama had better not pardon Hillary Clinton.

At the moment Rudy Giuliani is delivering that message.

On an appearance Thursday on “Fox & Friends,” Giuliani said there is simply too much at stake for the questions swirling around Hillary and the Clinton Foundation to go unanswered. Washington is already buzzing with the possibility that Obama could grant Clinton some kind of a pardon to protect her from prosecution after Attorney General Loretta Lynch is no longer in charge of the Justice Department. Justice demands those questions be answered, Giuliani told the panel.

Indeed. Trump’s voters overlooked his words. They did not overlook her crimes.
