Rep. Elijah Cummings calls for a '9/11-type' investigation into Russian hacking

Rep. Elijah Cummings has been very busy today.

First, he joined his colleague Rep. Nancy Pelosi in citing a tweet from a fake Twitter account:

Then, a little later on, he told ABC News that he would support the creation of a “9/11-type commission” to investigate Russian tampering in the 2016 election:
