Koskinen sees the writing on the wall come late November?

Round about mid-November or so...

"Get Koskinen on the phone. We're gonna have a chat."

(from the article):"The commissioner ( John Koskinen) of the IRS is apologizing to Congress for information his agency lost and inaccurate statements
he made during congressional investigations of its treatment of tea party and other conservative groups."

I will know that the spineless GOP posers are serious when they call the IRS Commissioner a lying f**ktard to his face and put him in jail under Contemp of Congress. Until then, I am not buying it and neither will the American public. I am so tired of the GOPe ball-less losers trying to convince us they are serious.

FOAD GOPe losers.
