Zitat The House opted to delay an impeachment vote for IRS Commissioner John Koskinen on Tuesday.
The GOP-led House voted Tuesday against impeaching IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, delaying indefinitely the conservative effort to hold President Barack Obama’s top taxman accountable for the targeting of tea party groups.
The decision to refer the matter to the Judiciary Committee means. Koskinen can continue to serve under President-elect Donald Trump in January, unless he’s fired or asked to resign. Koskinen’s five-year term ends on Nov. 12, 2017.
Koskinen “would have been the first appointed executive-branch official to meet that fate in 140 years,” had the resolution succeeded, according to Politico.
Conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been pushing for Koskinen’s impeachment for months, even though GOP leaders sought to avoid the showdown.
That son-of-a-bitch obstructed justice, misused governmental authority, and may well have committed perjury; and the Republicans are letting him walk because they want "to avoid the showdown." Spineless cretins.
Typically Republicans want to extend the "olive branch"
even as the Dems are looking to cut them off at the knees. It isn't bipartisan when one side seeks you demise.
If this doesn't change Trump will have become one more in a line of failures.
