Head IRS Lizzard's Impeachment Going Nowhere Fast
2016-06-23
[Daily Caller] What comes next in the House Republicans’ campaign to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen remains unclear following Wednesday’s "misconduct" proceedings, which House Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte refused to describe as an "impeachment" hearing.
"What comes next" ? Absolutely nothing.
Members of the committee and legal experts sparred over whether Koskinen’s alleged misconduct of defying congressional subpoenas and providing false testimony to Congress on the IRS targeting scandal rises to the level of gross negligence that meets the "high crimes and misdemeanors" impeachment standard in the U.S. Constitution.

The scandal occurred because hundreds of Tea Party, conservative and evangelical non-profit applicants were targeted and harassed by IRS officials during the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns

Democrats listening to Wednesday’s testimony seized the "misconduct" title of the session, noting that it, like the May proceeding of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the same topic, was also not described officially with the word "impeachment."
