ATR Urges Support for Resolution to Impeach IRS Chief John Koskinen
2nd December 2015
ATR President Grover Norquist today sent a letter to members of Congress urging support for H.Res.494, a resolution to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, introduced by House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).
It is imperative that the IRS be perceived as an impartial, nonpolitical agency. Its job is to administer the tax code in a fair way. But under Commissioner Koskinen the agency has inserted itself in the political arena, misled investigators, and deceived the American people.
Americans for Tax Reform is one of the few organizations that stick up for the rights of taxpayers. Koskinen is just the latest in a gaggle of Administration officials who have deeply politicized the Executive branch of the government (don’t get me started on the Attorney General). I think it would be a good thing to start impeaching and removing from office these partisan trolls, as an example to future officeholders.
