HOUSE REPUBLICANS introduce a resolution to impeach IRS Comm

[Sailor]

House Republicans on Tuesday introduced a resolution to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, accusing him of making "false statements" under oath and failing to comply with a subpoena for evidence.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and 18 other committee members introduced the resolution to begin impeachment proceedings. In doing so, they followed through on a threat first made over the summer, when Republicans accused the IRS leader of making inaccurate statements to Congress regarding the Tea Party targeting scandal and its aftermath.

"Commissioner Koskinen violated the public trust," Chaffetz said in a statement Tuesday. "He failed to comply with a congressionally issued subpoena, documents were destroyed on his watch, and the public was consistently misled.

"Impeachment is the appropriate tool to restore public confidence in the IRS and to protect the institutional interests of Congress."

FINALLY! About fucking time someone grew a pair. I guess the DOJ decision not to indict Lerner was the final straw.

This should be the first of many impeachments, IMO.

The first should have been filed about 6 years ago.

The House may pass the Articles of Impeachment but the Democrats in the Senate are already saying they will never vote to convict, just like when Billy Jeff was Impeached it will be impossible to obtain the 2/3rds supermajority to convict without several Dems even assuming EVERY Repub votes to convict (and you know there are some who won't.)
