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.

I wonder how she’s going to take it when she has to be removed from the throne room. I imagine not well. She’ll probably tell her buddy he needs to repeal the 22nd amendment and with the current corrupt Congress and SC we have I see nothing that would stand in his way except that which I cannot speak of...
