Should the IRS Commissioner Be Impeached?

Everybody’s afraid of the IRS. And no wonder. They can make your life a living hell if they want to. That’s why it’s so important that they play it straight. That they don’t play favorites. That they don’t play politics.

Well, back in the years leading up to Barack Obama’s reelection campaign of 2012, the IRS did play politics. It intensely scrutinized conservative organizations, especially if they had the words “Tea” and “Party” in their title, and all but refused to grant them tax-exempt status. At the same time, the IRS freely granted such status to liberal organizations.

2

Why would they do this? To give Barack Obama and his liberal allies an advantage in the upcoming election. And who ordered it? Well Lois Lerner was the head of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS. She ordered it. But who above her told her to do it? And did it go all the way to the White House? We’ll never know. Because she destroyed the evidence. Then took the Fifth. And then the Obama Justice Department refused to prosecute her, and find out the answers to these important questions.

3

In many ways, this is a lot like what Hillary Clinton did. She destroyed the evidence. Evidence of her emails was sought by the FBI and by Congressional committees. Rather than comply, she had her emails destroyed. And she lied about it. She even had the devices that stored the emails on multiple blackberries and iPads destroyed – WITH A HAMMER. Yet the Obama Justice Department refused to prosecute her.

4

So where does the IRS Commissioner come in? Well, when the selective targeting of conservative groups by the IRS story broke, President Obama feigned outrage, said the targeting was “inexcusable”, and declared that we needed “new leadership that can help restore confidence going forward.” So President Obama brought in John Koskinen to head the IRS, supposedly to clean up the mess. Arguably, Commissioner Koskinen only made matters worse.

5

How? Well, Koskinen testified before Congressional committees on multiple occasions. He made a number of important statements before Congress, which turned out to be completely false, even though he was under oath. For example, Commissioner Koskinen, in referring to Lois Lerner’s emails, stated “Since the start of this investigation, every email has been preserved. Nothing has been lost. Nothing has been destroyed.” This turned out to be completely untrue. Lerner had tens of thousands of her emails destroyed, and when Koskinen learned of this, rather than inform Congress, he failed to notify Congress – for four months.

6

Similarly, after he learned of the destruction of Lois Lerner’s emails, he testified that the IRS went to “great lengths” to try to resurrect Lerner’s emails by other means. This too turned out to be completely false. Koskinen and his IRS did virtually nothing to recover the destroyed emails. Experts testified that there were six ways the IRS could have tried to reacquire the emails. The IRS failed to even try five of the six techniques. They failed to look at the IRS’s own backup tapes. They failed to look at the server. They failed to look at the backup server. They failed to look at a loaner laptop. And they even failed to look at Lois Lerner’s blackberry. So the IRS under Koskinen really did nothing to comply with a Congressional investigation and subpoenas, and then lied about it, under oath.

7

Here’s what really makes me mad about this whole sorry episode. The IRS subpoenas information from taxpayers all the time. And if you exercised the same lack of cooperation with the IRS, as the IRS under Commissioner Koskinen displayed in this matter, you’d be in a world of trouble.  You undoubtedly would have been prosecuted, likely convicted, and would have spent time behind bars. But in this case, it was the Obama Administration’s powerful IRS that got caught with its hand in the cookie jar. And they circled the wagons, and clammed up, and took the Fifth, and destroyed evidence, and betrayed the country, and most sadly, got away with it.

8

So does the IRS Commissioner’s actions warrant his removal from office through impeachment? Well, Mr. Koskinen will be appearing before the House Judiciary Committee today. I’m a senior member of that committee. This is his opportunity to explain his actions.

9

I believe it is appropriate to reserve my judgement until he’s had an opportunity to tell his side of the story today before the Judiciary Committee. I welcome your input.
