Accuse Koskinen of obstructing investigation of agency Tea-Party targeting
Republicans on House Oversight Committee on Monday called on President Obama to oust Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen for obstructing the committee’s investigation into the tax agency’s targeting of conservative groups.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said the committee was actively considering contempt charges and impeachment proceedings against Mr. Koskinen in the event the president does not remove him from office.
“Mr. Koskinen should no longer be the IRS Commissioner. We have asked the president to remove Mr. Koskinen from office,” Mr. Chaffetz said at a Capitol Hill press conference, where he was joined by more than a dozen fellow Republicans form the committee.
“Mr. Koskinen failed in his duty to preserve and produce documentation to this Committee,” he said. “The IRS failed to comply with a congressional subpoena. The IRS further failed by making false statements to Congress.”
The committee’s investigation of the targeting scandal has been frustrated by the failure of the IRS to turn over email of Lois Lerner, who ran the tax-exempt-organizations unit responsible for the targeting and whose computer hard drive was destroyed.

Fat chance.
These Republicans are just play-acting for the hicks back home.
They make charges in the media against Administration officials who have broken the law, and yet they never do anything. Never.
I hope most conservative voters recognize these frauds for who they are.
More tough talk and NO ACTION! I can think of a few more people that need to be impeached starting with Obama himself.
Yep, slim and none, mostly none.
Its more kabuki theater. Thats all it is. Maybe theyll even bring in Issa for a cameo.
Issa won’t even need a script, he has it memorized.
No one does nothing better than Issa.
Jeb! reminds me of bread dough rising in a bowl.
“Issa won’t even need a script, he has it memorized.”
Well, he has used the same script enough times to memorize it.
True that, he probably dreams about it.
When the Republicans actually start putting people in jail and and slashing the budgets of these out of control agencies then I’ll believe! Just ask yourself a simple question, what difference has giving the Republicans both the House and the Senate made in stopping Obama as opposed to when the Democrats were in charge? John Bohener and Mitch McConnell are both going to be stunned to lose their majorities this November when those waco birds decide to stay home!
Just F'in do it for Cripes sake.....nobody is buying tickets to this show any more....
The IRS has about 2,500 poorly trained armed “agents” who are tasked to keep the entire sh*thouse from falling apart and imploding.
Liars are usually creepy people.

But the intelligence creep lied to about reading our e-mail, VA secretary McDonald, Hillary, and on and on.
If they start firing all of Obama’s liars, well, DC is going to pretty much empty out ....
Why are they just getting started seven years after the lying started?
That demand and $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee most places other than Starbucks. Otherwise.....it amounts to a long noisy blast of flatulence.
