..The House Judiciary Committee on Friday announced plans for two hearings over the next several weeks to examine the “misconduct” of Koskinen. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee say the commissioner misled Congress about the status of sensitive emails regarding the IRS tea party scandal. Those documents were deleted during their probe of the scandal...

“I applaud Chairman Goodlatte’s decision to hold a hearing on the resolution for impeachment of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen,” Jordan said in a statement. “Commissioner Koskinen failed to fulfill his duty to the American people by allowing back-up tapes ... to be destroyed ... It’s time for him to go."

... The committee is inviting Koskinen to testify at the first hearing on May 24 at 10 a.m., when the panel will question witnesses who’ve been following the issue closely. Oversight will present its findings, too. The second hearing in June will consist of outside experts commenting on Oversight panel findings and “whether further congressional action is warranted.”
