IRS Commissioner Impeachment Resolution

[Nuk'EM Heels]

House Republicans on Tuesday introduced a resolution to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, accusing him of making "false statements" under oath and failing to comply with a subpoena for evidence.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and 18 other committee members introduced the resolution to begin impeachment proceedings. In doing so, they followed through on a threat first made over the summer, when Republicans accused the IRS leader of making inaccurate statements to Congress regarding the Tea Party targeting scandal and its aftermath.

"Commissioner Koskinen violated the public trust," Chaffetz said in a statement Tuesday. "He failed to comply with a congressionally issued subpoena, documents were destroyed on his watch, and the public was consistently misled.

I think you're right. This is political, just as the IRS targeting of conservative groups was political... and, criminal. The most politicized DOJ since Richard Nixon declined to bring charges against officials of the most politicized IRS since Richard Nixon... If you don't see that, I can't help you.
