House GOP faces fight over impeaching IRS commissioner

House conservatives and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Ohio) are on a collision course this fall over demands to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

Members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus have been pressing for a vote on the matter for months and intend to force a vote if leadership won’t schedule one.

Ryan’s leadership team has been decidedly reluctant to hold an impeachment vote. On Wednesday, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) released an agenda for September that did not include one.

The battle will pit Ryan and other GOP lawmakers who want to avoid an impeachment vote against conservatives — some of whom have little to lose.

If they don't impeach him then I think that means they were in on the targeting for their own personal political gain.  There's so much corruption all around and no justice for the conservatives who were victims.

Plenty of "Republicans" who have no love for the tea party.

When it comes to Conservatives, the Republicans and the Democrats are mostly both on the same team.  Besides, what would happen to their racket if the people actually found out how things were supposed to work?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

These are the same Republicans who are going to stand up to President Trump if he attempts to go liberal, right? Gee, I have so much faith in them... /sarc
