A Washington-based government watchdog is warning President Trump to clean house at the IRS as quickly as possible or, better yet, eliminate the corrupt agency altogether.
The Internal Revenue Service admitted to a federal court Wednesday that it has identified nearly 7,000 documents that contain information concerning how the agency targeted tax-exempt applications of conservative political organizations.
IRS commissioner John Koskinen has insisted since the scandal broke in 2013 that the agency had cooperated completely in the investigation of its targeting of conservative groups. Now, in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the IRS revealed it has 6,924 documents related to its targeting of tea-party conservatives during the Obama administration.
Washington-based government watchdog Judicial Watch filed the suit against the IRS in 2015 to determine how the agency selected individuals and organizations for audits after they requested nonprofit tax status.

If Trump fired Flynn over Flynn’s lie to Pence about Russia, I wonder what he’s waiting for with John Koskinen at the IRS?
THere is hardly a dept. of govt. that does not have its own personal swamp that needs to be drained.IRS has to be near the top of the heap.
I'm sort of amazed Trump did not fire this POS 30 seconds after taking the oath of office...
John Koskinen, still heading the IRS. Why President Trump? Is the Lizard blackmailing you with Tax return leaks?
The smirk on his face drove me crazy.
Ping
DONALD TRUMP controls, to a degree that approaches absolute and total, the agencies that would investigate, indict, and prosecute these sub-human pieces of monkey vomit filth.
DT has the power. What is he waiting on?
Not a chance. I’m way better looking.
They are, not their.
How did they do it before the civil war?
Anyway, the way to do it easy: Using an electronic payment method you take a percentage from each “receiver” and forward it to a third party. You can do this at the source or at the bank. That third party would be the IRS.
Yes, I know that would be a very unpopular decision and process. But you asked how we COULD do it. It would take a programmer about a day to make it work.
Ever wonder why they are going for a cashless society?
Please, Mr. President, fire that creepy Koskinen on nationwide tv!
We would all pay a sales tax and the states would transfer funds to the Federal gov’t.
Fire, arrest, prosecute, imprison.
Good ideas... this is the most serious abuse of power since Watergate... more serious... the elites went after everyday powerless citizens. Prison time for most of 'em....
The IRS also is the gatekeeper to the illegal’s use of fake/stolen SS#’s.
We don’t need any income or national sales tax.
If the Federal Gov’t would adhere to the Constitution, most of it would not exist, and therefore no “extra” revenue would be required, just as it was from our nation’s start and for many many years.
Return to Constitutional government, and the “revenue” problem solves itself.
The IRS looks the other way for them...
