I thought impeachment required the Senate. That aint gonna happen. A prosecutor can put someone in jail vs just removal from office. So who’s barking up the wrong tree?

Impeachment of the President requires Senate to convict. Not sure whether the same hold true for IRS officials or even an Attorney General.

It does. And it ain't. At least, not with this current Senate.

But, come 2015....

It remains inconceivable that even a GOP-majority Senate would remove a black President. But a GOP-majority may well be able to remove, say, an IRS Commissioner and a few other high mucky-mucks.

Given a thorough electoral thrashing in 2014, five or six 'Rat Senators might look upon the situation as an opportunity to get right with history.
