The public is not calling for this. They are not calling for the impeachment of a person whose name is known to practically no one.

They are doing a heck of a job destroying public confidence. Confidence in Congress, that is.
Everyone that is concerned about not becoming a corrupt 3rd world society cares about this.

Koskinen can still be impeached by the house, but it's doubtful the Senate will vote to remove him from office.

It sure is strange no one cared until this idea was introduced few days ago. All of a sudden everyone cares because the party says so. It's funny how partisan politics works, and it's amazing how easy it is for politicians to play people.

I'm voting for Sanders.....I still care. We must have absolute trust in the IRS or the entire system starts to rot. This IRS can not be trusted.

House Republicans introduce measure to impeach IRS Commissioner Koskinen | Fox News
Excellent. Lois Lerner getting off scot free tells us that the new Attorney General is just as corrupt and under Obama's thumb as the last one. That decision not to prosecute her is abominable in addition to being corrupt.

Another Republican smoke screen designed to take the public's minds off their inability to do their jobs. I am pleased that the Republican Party is living down to my expectations.

He should be hung for treason and the IRS disbanded for so violating public trust!
One thing that needs to be brought to the front and spot lighted here is that IRS's refusal to grant a non-profit tax status to so many groups that were simply trying to support our Constitution by backing political candidates who believe in said document caused possible election outcome difference. A huge possibility of this. That in itself is, IMHO, a terrible injustice to America.

That's every bit as much Boehners fault. He had the ability to have her held in contempt and arrested. He was more concerned about how that would affect him and party. The A.G. should be held to a different standard?

I think it is doing the opposite. It is drawing the public eye to their inability to focus on things American people think are important and instead spending millions in tax payer money to play partisan witch hunts.
