This revenue funds most government operations and public services. Mr. Koskinen manages an agency of about 90,000 employees and a budget of approximately $11 billion.
In his role leading the IRS, Mr. Koskinen is working to ensure that the agency maintains an appropriate balance between taxpayer service and tax enforcement and administers the tax code with fairness and integrity.

Previously, Mr. Koskinen served as President of the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Deputy Mayor and City Administrator of Washington D.C., Assistant to the President and Chair of the President’s Council on Year 2000 Conversion and Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget. Mr. Koskinen also spent 21 years in the private sector in various leadership positions with the Palmieri Company, including President and Chief Executive Officer, helping to turn around large, troubled organizations. He began his career clerking for Chief Judge David L. Bazelon of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals in 1965, practiced law with the firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher and served as Assistant to the Deputy Executive Director of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, also known as the Kerner Commission.

Issa reminds that document requests made 11 months ago still outstanding, re-requests all of Lois Lerner’s e-mails.
Jordan giving back story on scandal. Lerner is mentioned a lot.
Jordan reminds that the first thing Lerner did, at the ABA, was throw underlings under the bus.
If this had happened under a Republican administration, these hearings would be on all the alphabet networks with a drumbeat for impeachment hearings.
Gotta go pay some bills, will check back.
I watched every day of the Watergate hearings. A coverup of a third rate burglary led to the crisis of the POTUS defying Congress’ legitimate role. And Nixon paid the price.
Today, we see no less defiance from the Executive branch and it’s just a “political crusade.”
RT @KatiePavlich: Lois Lerner's emails were subpoenaed six months ago #IRS
Issa recounting how he had his own emails ALL recovered in one morning.
Do you have any reason or privilege to not produce the emails we requested?
Issa presses in spite of Commish continuing to sandbag. Trying to tell Issa how to do his job. Commish is saying that the IRS has to decide what to release. Issa will have none of it.
Commish talking about search terms, redaction. Issa is saying ALL - redacted only for 6103.
Here’s Elijah!
Millions of emails? Balderdash.
Trying to watch live on C-Span 3 but the video freeze up then advances every so often. The sound continues to be played with the video catching up every so often for a brief second or less.
any other video source available?
I’m watching on cable tv. I did not know until months ago I have three cspan channels. Go through your cable stations, if you have cable that is.
Found it on my cable. Did not know I had C-Span3 - thanks
cspan has made this unwatchable.
The fix is in; from the kabuki-Issa-Cummings nonsense,
to the total loss of justice from the joke known as the
DO”J”.
The America of centuries, characterized by
bravery, honor and justice is GONE.
DEAD.
Murdered by Islamic terrorists, Indonesian impostors,
and EXEMPT cowards in DC.
Throw this guys butt in jail!
