Elijah Cummings’s changing views on holding the AG in contempt of Congress

Another scowling Democrat
. . . "But contrast that with what Cummings said in 2012 when a Republican-led House chose to hold then-AG Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to turn over requested documents in connection with the Fast and Furious scandal:
"You've been holding the Attorney General to an impossible standard. [He has been] protecting documents he was prohibited by law from producing.
"Which is precisely the case with Barr and the Mueller report.
"Since the quote leaked out, Cummings issued a statement claiming that the “situation then was fundamentally different than the situation today.” He goes on to note that Holder released 7,000 pages of documents to Barr’s none, which is blatantly false. But the larger point that Cummings is overlooking is that neither Holder nor his boss, then-Pres. Barack Obama, was subjected to a two-year-long investigation by a special counsel whose word was deemed so sacrosanct that Democrats swore to uphold his findings — until they were released and failed to conform to the Dems’ expectations."
