I realize US Rep. Elijah Cummings tries to maintain a civilized demeanor in all the hearings he is involved, but, there comes a time when he needs to examine ethics violations.

The problem goes beyond the meeting yesterday.

Issa is removing public information. It is a cover-up to implicate the President. Issa's actions are highly unethical and goes beyond politics.

Manager Denies Republican Claims of White House Involvement or Political Motivation

Washington, DC (June 18, 2013)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, as the top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released to Members of Congress and the American public the full transcript of an interview with an IRS Screening Group Manager in Cincinnati who provided a detailed account of how Tea Party groups applying for tax-exempt status were first identified by the IRS.  The Manager, a self-identified “conservative Republican” and 21-year veteran of the IRS, denies that he or anyone on his team was directed by the White House to take these actions or that they were politically motivated.
