Citing a lengthy list of suspicious coincidencesincluding the most recent loss of critical evidence due to a narrowly focused crash of the computers used by individuals involved in the discriminatory treatment of conservative organizationsmany of the Agency's critics have called for a "Special Prosecutor."
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told the House Ways and Means Committee, though, that "appointing a 'Special Prosecutor' to investigate alleged abuses in the Agency would be a colossal waste of money. Look, we've thoroughly frustrated every inquiry launched thus far. Why should anyone think we wouldn't just as easily thwart a so-called Special Prosecutor?"
Representative Dave Camp (R-Mich), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, characterized Koskinen's remarks as "the kind of arrogance that reeks of tyranny. This Administration and its agents act as if the law and Constitution do not apply to them."
Koskinen taunted Camp in his reply asserting that "if Mr. Camp and his cohorts are displeased with the way we are running the Government the Constitution has a prescribed remedy they may follow. Their reluctance to take up this remedy is a testimony to their impotence. If I am construed as being disrespectful I think I am on solid ground when I say that they've earned it."
Representative Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) strenuously objected to "Camp's rude behavior toward this dedicated civil servant. The IRS is tasked with the crucial and difficult job of recovering the nation's resources from individuals who would siphon them off for their own personal gain. The conservative groups that the IRS targeted are aiding and abetting greedy individuals by resisting the tax increases and spending programs that are part-and-parcel of the implementation of the President's plan to secure social justice for all."

...remember the fraud'ster John Beale?
Another smarmy, glassy-eyed, micro-chipped, O'bot???
Better not let the IRS know if your data was backed up daily to offsite storage by Symantec NetBackup, Symantec's enterprise backup software. The IRS examiners might find it hard to believe that just because you lost a hard drive, your data was permanently lost.
I don’t know why this is satire. I listened to today’s testimony. The prick actually said this. Suddenly Fedzilla is concerned about “wasting taxpayer money.” LMAO.
Good one again John.
This man sounds like an idiot.
IRS spending report: Pricey suites, Michael Jordan paintings
6/4/13
A watchdog report released Tuesday includes potentially embarrassing examples of spending at conferences, including $17,000 paid to a keynote speaker whose specialty was painting unique pictures. He produced images of Michael Jordan, Bono, Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln at the IRS event.
Agency employees received hotel upgrades and a deputy commissioner spent five nights in a two-bedroom presidential suite at the Anaheim, Calif., Hilton.
And, of course, the IRS spent about $50,000 producing parodies of Star Trek.
In total, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that the IRS spent about $49 million on conferences between 2010 and 2012.

Like that Star Trek spoof they wasted our money on?
Good memory. I forgot about all the freakin IRS waste of taxpayer’s money on stupid home made videos and luxury hotels. That makes this guy’s attitude even worse.
IRS is going to audit GOP committee members.
Thanks for the ping.
It’s our printed money to waste, I’m sure in 5 minutes I could come up with 100 things more ridiculous to waste money on, such as Michele’s vacations.
Funny stuff...
Isn’t that kinda what they HAVE been saying? It’s getting harder to parody these folks!
