An off-the-record White House meeting with roughly two dozen conservative leaders Wednesday included explicit calls for President Trump to fire IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, according to a source in the room.
White House conservative liaison Paul Teller organized the meeting Wednesday between Trump staffers and leaders of conservative groups including the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch.

The broad consensus among attendees was that Trump needs to clean out Obama-era bureaucrats if he is going to be successful in pushing through his agenda.

Koskinen has been in conservatives sights for a while now over political targeting of conservative non-profit organizations by IRS employees.
Koskinen allegedly defied congressional subpoenas and preservation orders by allowing the destruction of potentially incriminating evidence on former IRS official Lois Lerners involvement in the targeting scandal.
The House of Representatives came close to impeaching Koskinen last winter, but stopped short of doing so.

Ahahahahhahah..! You'll NEVAH get ridda ME..!!!
Ahahahaha..! Go f*ck yah sistahs..!!
The only possible reason I can see this guy sticking around, since he more than likely has his multi-hundred thousand dollar pension is that he is sitting on a time bomb that might go off if he leaves.
Fired? he should be in jail!
No backups? They must think we are all bunch of idiots.
Shoulda been fired in the first 15 minutes.
I would rather see our government go without a ‘department’ rather than have someone of this guy’s caliber or Comey or McCabe...
You notice that since Tillerman cleaned out the 7th floor, nothing is coming out of the State Department anymore, and if it does, it’s the truth coming from Tillerman...
I think the same thing of the NSA, HLS, HUD, HHS, and other departments, seems the only two are the IRS and DOJ that need to be closed until they can rid all the Bushes, Clintons and bami folks to the ‘outside of the White House Fence’ and then hire new people...
He is sticking around because the Trump team hasn’t replaced him. What is there problem? I can only imagine Trump is listening to advice intended to sabotage him—unless he himself considers his real positions to be more Democrat than Republican.
Fired is too good. Jail for him and Lerner.
This might be another reason. Old friends? This will be a good test in draining the swamp.

Then there must be nothing to hide, right?
If you were in this guy’s position, knowing what you know, would you stick around? I think Id have emailed my resignation on a Sunday and be on a plane to parts unknown with my pension intact.
How is this not obvious to everyone?
Jail and fines and no pension.
I’m disappointed it wasn’t in the inaugural address on Jan. 20th: “Koskinen, if you’re still in your office by the time I get home I’ll have your **** thrown out into the street.”
Drain the swamp indeed. I thought this reptile was gone.
They damn sure had back ups for my income tax filing. I made an error on my filing and owed them about 20 or 30 dollars. Two years later I got a bill plus interest and penalty.
The IRA loses nothing, but sometimes they do destroy emails and evidence!

That is precisely what I mean. Those ass hats must think we are all a bunch of idiots, if they think we will believe that evidence was lost, due to some computer glitch. What ass hats.
ALLEGEDLY??? There's nothing 'alleged' about it. He did all of it right in front of us and often on national TV.
Trump has a lot on his plate right now with the Media & Dems in open revolt. It's just possible that replacing the IRS Director has fallen down the priority list.
