Top Oversight Dem: I won't be issuing subpoenas like 'candy on Halloween'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), who is slated to become chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in the new Congress, said on Sunday that he does not plan to issue subpoenas like “candy on Halloween.”

"I'm not one to war with anyone. What I am going to do is do what the American people said they wanted us to do through this election — even in Trump country. They basically are saying that we want transparency, we want honesty, and we want integrity. But they want something else George, they want accountability with regard to this president," Cummings told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”

“That’s exactly what I’m going to do if I’m blessed to have that opportunity and this is what the Constitution requires of us. We’re going to do our part,” he added.

Cummings said, however, that he will not be "handing out subpoenas" like someone "handing out candy on Halloween.”

2. That being said, it is nice to have the power to issue subpoenas when roadblocks are throw up

And they WILL throw up roadblocks as sure as the sun rises in the East.
