The American people deserve full transparency"
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. After requests to the President to fire IRS Commissioner John Koskinen went unanswered U.S. Representative Will Hurd joined 22 members of the Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs to condemn and censure Koskinen for actions unbefitting of an Officer of the United States.
The American people deserve full transparency from the IRS. What they got from Commissioner Koskinen was deceit" said Hurd. If an American citizen repeatedly failed to produce documentation that the IRS demanded the IRS would pursue legal action to have that citizen put in jail. Koskinens actions are outrageous and he must be held accountable."
In 2012 the IRS politically targeted conservative groups leading to congressional investigations. Despite the resignation of several officials the IRS continued to mislead Congress and the public about its actions. Throughout the course of numerous hearings Commissioner Koskinen failed to comply with a Congressional subpoena and was reprimanded for making false statements to Congress. Last year the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform called for the President to fire Commissioner Koskinen.
