"Trey Gowdy OWNS Irs Commissioner John Koskinen at irs targeting hearing.

Trey Gowdy vs Irs Commissioner. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testifies before the House Oversight and Government. Trey Gowdy relentlessly hammered IRS Commissioner John Koskinen on the missing IRS emails and on how Koskinen hasn't personally seen evidence of criminal wrongdoing at the IRS, which Gowdy found particularly outrageous because Koskinen hasn't read the relevant criminal statutes."

Gowdy lectured Koskinen on the "negative inference" drawn by the inability of the IRS to retrieve these emails, and said if a taxpayer is being prosecuted by the IRS a jury would look on them with more than a little suspicion.

He pressed Koskinen on how he knows there was no criminal wrongdoing. At one point, Koskinen exasperatedly said he's relying on "common sense," at which point Gowdy went off and lectured him, shouting, "You don't have any idea of criminal wrongdoing or not!"

When Koskinen dismissed the idea of a "conspiracy" Republicans have thought up, Gowdy shouted, "You're repeating a talking point by our colleagues on the other side!"

Give me a minute to get the Scott Brown for President sticker off my car, and take off my “Karl Rove—Magnificent Badtard” tee shirt off.

It’s usually best to wait for these guys to finish the job at hand before we elevate them to the next level.

And the Bush administration. When are we the people going to stand up and say, Enough?
Despite Trey's heroic aggressive tactics against this unrepentant tool of elitist corruption, Washington DC as the center of the United State's law has to end.

No, it’s not too soon! From the depths of a South Carolina ruled by James Clyburn & Lindsey Graham, I hereby proclaim

TREY GOWDY FOR PRESIDENT!

No we need Gowdy for Attorney General, which can be a position of great power and good if used by someone with moral courage.

On second thought, you could be right. A bulldog like Gowdy would turn Washington’s culture of corruption upside down.

Ted Cruz for President, Trey Gowdy for Attorney General!

Sarah Palin for U.N. Ambassador. She’d have those third world towelheads howling with rage!

See reply # 40 by laplata for the link: Commie Obama as himself, plus a huge adoring audience.

You decide which is the biggest threat to America.

Issa , Mike Rogers and Boehner all talk the talk, but refuse to walk the walk.

They all whine and moan about being stonewalled by the Commie Obama Administration, but NOTHING effective happens, except for the formation of the Benghazi Committee under Trey Gowdy.

The House RINOs had their chance for OVER FOUR YEARS and have done NOTHING!

It is time to mow down the not good in the House, ASAP!

Care to join me?

Yup, and McCarthy is “MOVING FORWARD” too.

I think McCarthy will fit right in to the RINO-Controlled House, IMHO, of course.

Oh yes, he made at least two comments during the short video I watched in which he attempted to deflect any guilt from Obama. It seemed as tho that was the primary goal of his testimony. He failed of course. Course I only saw 5 minutes of the testimony...

Lets see if anything comes of this...

I'll bet the IRS will be here 10 years from now.
