CUMMINGS OBAMA RANDOM HOUSE LINK?
Penguin Random House had been been given Gov incentives and $ to expand operations in Westminster, MD back in 2014.
Could Cummings have funneled $ to Penguin stemming from fed grants from Obama?
Then in return Penguin gives Obama huge book deal as payback?

Just a lame theory with weak sauce at this point.
