House conservatives revived a long-shot effort Tuesday to oust IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, formally introducing an impeachment resolution expected to see a vote by the end of the week.

Rep. John Fleming, R-La., a sponsor of the drive, offered the measure under special procedures that put the House on track to vote Thursday on the effort.

Conservatives say Koskinen hampered Congress' effort to investigate the IRS for tough assessments of Tea Party groups that sought tax exemptions several years ago. Koskinen denies that.

“For years the IRS has abused its power to target people based on their political views. Commissioner John Koskinen not only did nothing about it, but continued the trend of deception by deliberately keeping Congress and the American people in the dark,” Fleming said in a statement Tuesday. “To date no one has been held accountable and no one will unless we move forward with a resolution to require a vote on his impeachment.”

I wish they go back and get Lerner. I bet if she was facing real jail time she’d sing like a bird and rat out a lot of ‘rats.

I do not believe the RINOs are going to go along...I believe they colluded with the Dems to stop conservatives and that they will work feverishly to stop that from being exposed.

In fact our Amnesty RINO Senator McCain requested Lois Lerner to go after Arizona tea party and conservative organizations because conservatives were protesting him. He's despicable.

“to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined federal agencies like the EPA, IRS, EEOC and FAA as examples.”

Well stated, Amendment10. Trump can cancel all regulations made up by unelected federal bureaucrats and join with the states in recognizing the states’ 10th amendment rights. Same with the black-robed fascists - they have no constitutional power to change or nullify laws.
