The IRS Scandal, Day 1112
Washington Post, Republicans Detail Case Against IRS Chief in Hearing Democrats Call a Sham:
House Republicans on Tuesday reprised their probe into four-year-old missteps by the Internal Revenue Service, making a detailed case why Commissioner John Koskinen should be impeached in a colorful hearing that underscored conservatives’ suspicion of the agency.
The two-and-a-half hour hearing, on accusations that Koskinen lied under oath to lawmakers and flouted a congressional subpoena, also was a reminder of a bitterly divided Congress. Few Democrats showed up for the proceeding before the House Judiciary Committee, but those who did said Republicans were wasting taxpayers’ time and grandstanding on an old issue that would go nowhere.
