IRS Cleared of All Charges So What Does The GOP Do? Impeach Of Course

- LINK: BOOM. House files resolution to impeach current IRS Commissioner

DESPITE Obama and the DOJ admitting that the IRS 'did some really bad things' they announced they are NOT punishing the IRS - anyone there, especially Lois Lerner. (You can still see the bump in the carpet where they brushed this scandal.)

Congress, like when Obama/the DOJ refused to punish Holder for 3 Felony Counts of Perjury, has decided to take matters into their own hands:

"Specifically, Commissioner Koskinen violated the public trust in the following ways:

- Failed to comply with a subpoena resulting in destruction of key evidence. "Commissioner Koskinen failed to locate and preserve IRS records in accordance with a congressional subpoena and an internal preservation order. The IRS erased 422 backup tapes containing as many as 24,000 of Lois Lerner’s emails – key pieces of evidence that were destroyed on Koskinen’s watch."

-- THIS is a CRIME, a violation of the Law....one, once again, Obama and the DOJ has chosen to ignore.

- Failed to testify truthfully and provided false and misleading information. "Commissioner Koskinen testified the IRS turned over all emails relevant to the congressional investigation, including all of Ms. Lerner’s emails. When the agency determined Ms. Lerner’s emails were missing, Commissioner Koskinen testified the emails were unrecoverable. These statements were false."

-- THIS is ALSO a CRIME, a FELONY count of PERJURY while testifying before Congress...much like Ex-Atty General Eric holder. 'Same CRIME, NO TIME'

- Failed to notify Congress that key evidence was missing. T"he IRS knew Lois Lerner’s emails were missing in February 2014. In fact, they were not missing; the IRS destroyed the emails on March 4, 2014. The IRS did not notify Congress the emails were missing until June 2014 – four months later, and well after the White House and the Treasury Department were notified."

- Obstruction of Justice, Impeding an on-going investigation, withholding evidence....MORE PROVEN CRIME which, again, Obama and the DOJ has chosen to ignore.

"it’s worth remembering that a federal judge had already threatened to haul the Commissioner into court for his obfuscating tactics. Given what’s been reported in the news and the specifics in the filing, it’s very possible that they could actually come up with a conviction here barring a presidential pardon, but there’s still a huge bar to get over"


They have this guy nailed dead-to-rights, just as Holder was, but there is one hurdle that blocks their way - Obama and the DOJ. Before the Impeachment ever went through Obama would 'pardon' him.

 
Good, impeach the traitor and by the way the trustworthiness of the Justice Department is zero, it's nothing more than a tentacle of Democratic Socialist Party.

Great OP though... thanks.
We need the practice. The paperwork is already done to impeach Hillary IF she is elected on the FIRST day.
Rebubbaklans have really drank the Kool-Aid this time. Impeaching the IRS Commissioner who wasn't even in office during the investigation to restore confidence in the IRS, who was cleared by the FBI and the DOJ, is the height of hilarity from a party that has gotten progressively unhinged since 2014.

"Evidently IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is to be the sacrificial lamb Republicans take hostage to atone for the sin of being completely wrong about the so-called "targeting scandal."

Jason Chaffetz just announced -- to great sound and fury -- that his committee filed four articles of impeachment against an IRS commissioner who was not commissioner at the time the so-called "scandal" occurred.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, announced at a Monday press conference that his committee has asked the President to remove Koskinen from office. He accused the IRS commissioner of misleading Congress and failing to cooperate with the congressional investigation into the IRS's alleged targeting of conservative groups under the tenure of Koskinen's predecessor, Steven Miller.

"Mr. Koskinen failed to testify truthfully. The statements that he made to Congress were false," Chaffetz said Monday. "It is imperative that this committee pursue all constitutional remedies. That may include contempt and it even may include impeachment of Mr. Koskinen."

In a 29-page letter to Obama that included transcripts of Koskinen and other IRS officials' hearings with his committee, Chaffetz wrote that Koskinen has "obstructed" Congressional investigations into the IRS.

"His obstruction takes the form of failure to comply with a congressional subpoena, failure to testify truthfully, and failure to preserve and produce up to 24,000 emails relevant to the investigation," Chaffetz wrote to Obama.

The call from the top House Republican comes after Koskinen has sparred with GOP lawmakers in repeated congressional hearings -- notably during a hearing last summer, when Koskinen sniped back at the lawmakers that he was not there "to play games" and insisting he never promised emails that had previously been deleted, though he would be happy to know "if you have a magical way for me to do that."

The GOP's ire stems mainly from the deletion of thousands of emails belonging to Lois Lerner, the former IRS official at the center of allegations that the agency targeted tea party groups applying for non-profit status." After Lois Lerner Cleared, Republicans Move To Impeach IRS Commissioner (Updated)

You're right, he wans't there when the activity in question occurred, but he did lie and obstruct the congressional investigation. One case in point, he told congress that backups of Learners emails didn't exist, when in fact there were more than 1,000 on 3 backup tapes in the archive in WV. That's just one example.

But you don't need to worry, the regressivecrats in the senate will never vote to convict, after all it's party before country.
 
Did this guy get a blowjob from an intern or something?

If that were the case, an indictment would have been filed against Cheney, the war-monger.

No it's not. You're a fool to believe bullshit like that.
You might want to read this. Its from a LIBERAL rag.

He's either just shit-talking or a major idiot. Either way, it won't happen.
