Of course he doesn’t. Take a look at his performance during today’s first public hearing of the Select Committee on Benghazi, led by Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy.
Cummings uses his opening statement to defend Hillary Clinton and the State Department. #Benghazi

Shorter Cummings: we've put together a Benghazi website that answers all the questions the Select Committee asks so let's pack it in.

Pathetic, as always. But not so fast, Cummings! You can’t pull your usual nonsense today.

Were seeing methodical approach of an experienced prosecutor vs. usual partisan stage-shows of most Congressional hearings #BenghaziHearing

Yep. Kneecapping of absurdity? Achieved.
@TheRightWingM Cummings isn't going to be able to run cover/interference for WH this time. He is way out of his league. #BenghaziHearing

Elijah Cummings less shouty than usual. #BenghaziHearing
— Razor (@hale_razor) September 17, 2014
Jordan just slapped down Cummings so hard, Elijah excused himself & is headed back to IRS Panel. #BenghaziSelectCommittee

More kneecapping:
What we just witness was Jordan kneecapping Cummings. Sweet. #BenghaziHearings

Rep. @Jim_Jordan replies to Cummings that he can use his own time to question the State Dept representative

Jordan just basically told Cummings to " shut up"…lol. #Benghazi #BenghaziSelectCommittee

Heh.
But others noticed something quite distracting about Cummings’ forehead:
Elijah Cummings' forehead crease is distracting.

@Uncle_Jimbo @exjon the Lerner emails are in there I bet

“@exjon: Elijah Cummings' forehead crease is distracting.” Those are the slots thru which the regime feeds him talking points.

Snicker. What’s worse than his curious forehead?
His mouth is worse. RT @exjon: Elijah Cummings' forehead crease is distracting.
— Erik Rush (@erikrush) September 17, 2014
Ding, ding, ding!
Speaking of which, here’s a great exit point:
Still blows my mind that Elijah Cummings was allowed to be on the Benghazi Select Committee
