The chairman of the top House investigative panel introduced a measure Wednesday to censure IRS Commissioner John Koskinen -- and remove him from office without a pension -- in the latest bid by Republicans to pressure him into being more cooperative in their probe of the 2013 IRS targeting scandal.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is seeking Koskinen’s resignation or removal for what he calls an alleged “pattern of conduct inconsistent with the trust and confidence placed in him as an officer of the United States.”
If censured, Koskinen, who became commissioner in 2013, would also forfeit his government pension and other federal benefits.
House Republicans are upset with what they consider Koskinen's failure to cooperate with their investigation of Lois Lerner and other IRS officials who targeted for additional scrutiny conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
Chaffetz on Wednesday cited a long list of grievances in calling for the censure -- including Koskinen allegedly lying under oath, allowing “key evidence” to be destroyed by failing to comply with a subpoena and not preserving backup computer tapes that contained as many as 24,000 missing Lerner emails, allegedly destroyed by a computer malfunction.
“Koskinen must be held accountable for his misconduct,” Chaffetz said in a statement. “I am committed to using every tool at my disposal to hold Mr. Koskinen responsible for his offenses.”

Don’t tell me the GOP is actually going to do something!
WHY THE HELL wasn’t this done last Year!!!!!
That would get the attention of this smartazz.
This clown is 77 years old next month.
I love how he feigned ignorance about saved emails on servers, when he was appointed by Bill Clinton to lead up our efforts for the Year 2000 preparations by the government, which was all computer driven.
They never go away.
The GOP began this IRS travesty with McCain PLOTTING
with the Schumer. The Coverup was by Issa,
and was complete.
The GOP is complicit and DESERVES to be removed and indicted
and imprisoned for using the IRS against the American
PEOPLE.
The reason why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTmfwklFM-M
Prison would be preferable...
It wasn't an election year.
Hit the bum in the wallet. That will take the smirk off of his face.

‘bout time.
Now do same to about 1000 more of them.
The last I knew , such obstruction is considered a criminal offense !
and is proseccutable !
This should have been done years ago.
he should be in jail.
I hope he ends up at Walmart greeter and has his face spat in every day.
No they are not.
If they were going to do something, they’d be talking about Prison.
Will this result in LL finally getting justice? I wonder.
Or will the G-men be satisfied with having one guy taking the hit and all else will be forgotten, like they did the the VA scandal?
Exactly, they wanted to silence the Conservative movement and wanted the IRS to do it.
Watch 'em squeal little piglets.
Dream on.
Exactly NOTHING will happen to either one of the pieces of shit.
Just like nothing will happen to Hitlery or any of her henchmen or John Kerry (who, by the way, was in Vietnam) or any of the treasonous bastards that enabled the low-life Kenyan-born piece of shit in his efforts to destroy the USA.
Forget this "justice" thing...it ain't gonna happen.
Let's move forward and make damned sure that Trump and his group understand that we're fed up with all the political shenanigans and that it is now OVER, time to get us back on track.
Fire them all, start over.
But prosecution of any of these losers will not happen.
Trust me.
