House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC), the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Government Relations, on Friday sent a letter to Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) slamming him for failing to hold Michael Cohen accountable for lying to Congress. Friday marked 100 days since Cummings said he'd hold Cohen accountable. And, not surprisingly, nothing has taken place.
"You waited to review Cohen's testimony before the House Permanent Selection Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) to determine whether he lied before our Committee. How that HPSCI has released the testimony – following our request – we believe it does not change our earlier conclusions," the letter reads. "Indeed, teh HPSCI testimony only reveals new information that is unhelpful and unflattering to you: that Cohen has no independent evidence to support his accusations, and that you engaged in ex parte preparation sessions with Cohen to help him to appear more credible before our Committee."
Jordan and Meadows say they're disappointed in Cumming's failure to hold Cohen accountable.

On the other hand, the real reason may be Cummings is using his resources to deal with his wife's illegal usage of money....
