Yes, the IRS chief has earned impeachment (http://nypost.com/2015/10/28/yes-the-irs-chief-has-earned-impeachment/)

The New York Post argues for the impeachment of the head of the IRS. If anyone deserves it, this guy does. He presided over an agency that destroyed evidence in an ongoing investigation and he personally lied to Congress.

He still won’t wipe that smirk off his face, but the House of Representatives is quite right to get the ball rolling on impeaching IRS chief John Koskinen.

Brought into the agency to clean house after the IRS’s unlawful targeting of conservative groups, Koskinen instead presided over endless stonewalling of congressional probes — including the destruction of evidence that had been subpoenaed.


If you responded to an IRS audit the way Koskinen’s IRS has behaved, you’d be looking at huge penalties and maybe prison time.



He waited months to tell the IRS that an “accident” had destroyed the e-mail records of Lois Lerner, the woman at the scandal’s heart. Indeed, he made no real effort to secure those e-mails, despite a subpoena — allowing key backups to be destroyed.


Then he nonchalantly testified that Lerner’s e-mails were all gone forever — and then showed not a hint of shame after an inspector general came up with thousands of them.

He may be impeached. A conviction in the Senate, however, is not likely.

Although it should be a slam dunk.

The vote/s for or against in the Senate should be quite telling.

It will be strictly along partisan lines. Every Democrat will declare it an outrageous move.

This Administration is lawless. Our elected leaders refuse to address that issue.
