Repubs Introduce Resolution To Impeach IRS Commish Koskinen

About damned time...

House conservatives moved on Tuesday to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over allegations that he misled investigators over the agency's inappropriate targeting of Tea Party groups.

Rep. John Fleming, R-La., introduced the resolution to impeach Koskinen on Tuesday afternoon. "[Koskinen] engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an officer of the United States," Fleming said on the floor.

The filing of the resolution is the culmination of years of investigation into how and why the IRS applied extra scrutiny of Tea Party groups that filed for tax-exempt status. His impeachment is chiefly favored by members of the House Freedom Caucus, who forced John Boehner into retirement last year, but it has spread beyond the caucus to include House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and others who believe Koskinen oversaw the destruction of evidence that lawmakers were seeking as they investigated the targeting scandal.

#3 About time they quit diddling the dog and went for it. Going after the IRS who is criminally screwing American citizens should be a winner.

#4 Obama is the head of the snake but basically he's untouchable at this point, you'd just make a martyr out of him.

I'd like to get the folks who carried out the unconstitutional tasks, give them serious jail time if possible, take their pensions otherwise, to send the message to the next two-bit lackey who thinks they're protected and above the law.
