Congressman: GOP Ready to Impeach IRS Commissioner
John Koskinen ‘failed’ his duties, and ‘that’s why he needs to go’
(WND) – House Republicans are calling for the ouster of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over his failure to preserve evidence or tell the truth about the agency’s targeting of conservative organizations and their donors.
The government’s reluctance to hand over relevant materials to Congress in this case also suggests the special Benghazi committee may have trouble getting what it needs from Hillary Clinton’s
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is a longtime member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He told WND and Radio America the IRS was under a preservation order from its own officials and a subpoena from the oversight committee to maintain critical evidence. But that’s not what happened.
“With a preservation order and a subpoena in place, the IRS destroys 422 tapes containing potentially 24,000 emails,” he said. “This according to the inspector general. They destroyed them on March 4, 2014.”
Koskinen became commissioner in the midst of the investigation, but Jordan said his performance has been abysmal.
