Finley: Let Snyder go in peace

As House Democrats begin their oversight turn in Washington, among the first targets of their promised inquisition is Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, who takes over Jan. 1 as head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is threatening to  subpoena Snyder to return to Congress for more testimony about the Flint water crisis. "I'm not done with Flint," Cummings said two weeks ago, adding that what happened keeps him up at night. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield, is on Cummings’ committee and has from the beginning of the Flint crisis tried to mine it for political gain. She won't be much use in heading off a subpoena of the governor. But other members of the state’s Democratic caucus should do what they can to discourage Cummings from staging this show trial
