The House Freedom Caucus, the chamber’s conservative bloc, will file a privileged motion to force a floor vote on whether to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for his failure to cooperate with congressional oversight of his agency.
“There’s a belief across this country that there are two standards: one for the powerful and politically-connected and another for ordinary citizens. The IRS Commissioner – the head of one of the most powerful government agencies – was able to get away with behavior no ordinary American could,” the statement said.
“It’s long past time for Commissioner Koskinen to be held accountable for years of stonewalling Congress’ oversight efforts. Under his watch, false testimony was given and documents were destroyed. And we should never forget that the underlying offense was the targeting of Americans for their political beliefs,” the statement said.

Why would Ryan have to be forced ro take this vote?
Get rid of Ryan.
I wonder how pathetic Rino Paul Ryan, who is blocking this got the votes to be Speaker? I’ll have to check into that
Lyin’ Ryan’s time is coming to be Cantorized, it is next month. Go Nehlen!!!
Oh, God. Here comes Lucy with the football again...
One more nail in the Ryan politcal coffin.
Nehlen will make toast of Ryan on this issue.
Trump for President.
Its all nice-looking optics for the committee members involved - but will Koskinen even go, or will things change at all?
BTW who was the IRS commissioner under whose charge those conservative groups were targeted?
The Democrats saw the Tea Party as a threat to their agendas, the Republicans saw Tea Party candidates as threats to take their seats and Tea Party members as threats to take over the Republican Party

Tack on a rider naming Hillary too, and Lynch and the whole damned administration for that matter.
I’ll be watching to see how Harper and Palazo vote...Mississippi House members, I don’t think Bennie will vote for it.
It seems that Lerner needs to be included as well. She was the person in charge when all of this went down and now she retired and her pension is being paid by the taxpayer that she targeted.
Hang Lois Lerner for her crimes against the Republic
