House Republicans reach deal to avoid vote on impeaching IRS commissioner

House Republicans reach deal to avoid vote on impeaching IRS commissioner
Published September 15, 2016 FoxNews.com
 

House Republicans reached an agreement late Wednesday to avoid a potentially divisive floor vote on impeaching IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

The deal scraps the vote on the so-called "privileged" impeachment resolution that had been expected to take place Thursday. Instead, the House Judiciary Committee will consider Koskinen's impeachment, with the IRS boss expected to testify sometime next week.

The agreement makes it unlikely that any vote by the full House to impeach Koskinen will happen until after the November election, if at all. House Republican leadership had balked on moving forward on impeachment proceedings during an election season, arguing that an impeachment vote risked irritating voters. Others said Koskinen deserved a full House Judiciary Committee probe before embarking on the seldom-used impeachment process.

More of the same in the Uniparty Oligarchy protecting corruption and having enabled a republic to be overthrown.

And these imbeciles really think we are going to vote for their nominee????

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I knew Paul Ryan's testicles were far too tiny to follow through.

The Uniparty protects itself.

This is how we end up with two identical candidates

Those imbeciles are also rather blissfully unaware that such considerations as that kind of voting are
among the conditions that made it possible for You-Know-Whom to become the Republican
nominee in the first place.

It has become Politically Incorrect to do anything that needs to be done.

Well there you have it. Further proof that lesser evil voting, and thus lesser evil voters are the greatest threat to America. They did DEMAND we elect the people that just caved in again...no matter what.

Lesser evil voters have done more damage to America in the past 20 years than the grand total of damage done by idiotic voting in the prior 200 combined.

How many times do we need to be reminded that the GOP's agenda is the democrat's agenda, while the democrat's agenda is the democrat's agenda?

I won't be here after the election and vote.

If Hillary wins - I will be busy, BLOAT! (It won't be long before she won't let you buy.)

If Trump wins, I won't be here to GLOAT. (I don't want to hang around while everyone looks at every speck in his eye.)

They don't care.  As long as they don't get too close, we won't do anything to disturb them.  Not that there's much we could do even if we wanted to.

Huh.....?

It's BECAUSE OF weak-kneed and Quisling-like behavior from the Republican members of Congress -- over the course of the last two years -- that Trump has become the nominee.

Not always but most of the time, yes.  There are times when the lesser evil issue might be an acceptable compromise.  Key word COMPROMISE.  It has become the core principle and has thus led to the disaster you describe.

No. Evil is never an acceptable compromise. Ever. Liberalism is never an acceptable compromise. Ever. the nanosecond you 'compromise' with evil, you ARE evil.

This is true! And EXACTLY why we won't vote for their nominee!
