House Democrats are threatening the salaries of Interior Department staff if they block ongoing committee investigations.

House Oversight and Reform Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) sent letters Tuesday calling for eight current and former administration officials to provide information for two of the panel's investigations, cautioning that officials who block the interviews from taking place could see their salaries withheld.

"Please be advised that any official at the Department who 'prohibits or prevents' or 'attempts or threatens to prohibit or prevent' any officer or employee of the Federal Government from speaking with the Committee could have his or her salary withheld pursuant to section 713 of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act," Cummings wrote in the letters

Whatever section 713 may be, I seriously doubt withholding people's salaries as a coercive technique is legal. OTOH, it would be an excellent example of Democrat concern for the working man. Cummings is such a jerk.

Cummings is WAY too stupid to qualify as high as a Jerk. He makes pond scum look like Einstein...
