Republicans: Are you even paying attention?

Are Republicans even paying attention to what Republican Jack Asses in Congress are doing?

They can't even pass a BUDGET, voted to avoid another REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN and this is the best they can do?

House conservatives pulled the trigger Tuesday on the process to begin impeachment of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, rejecting appeals from fellow Republicans and from the commissioner himself to set the matter aside and prompting President Obama to call the effort “crazy.”

Rep. John Fleming, Louisiana Republican, made the move, kicking off a process that will put fellow GOP lawmakers on the spot. Under House rules, lawmakers must address the matter within two legislative days — though leaders could make a motion to refer the resolution to a committee, where it would likely die, or to table it, effectively killing it.

“If you vote for anything that would stop short of impeachment, or if you vote against impeachment, then you’re voting to keep Koskinen in his job,” Mr. Fleming told reporters Tuesday after initiating the debate.

He and fellow conservatives say Mr. Koskinen lied to Congress when he claimed he’d produced all of former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner’s available emails, even though his agency’s own inspector general said backup tapes held thousands of messages. But some of the tapes were destroyed before the inspector general was able to get to them, perhaps expunging important emails.

Mr. Koskinen has also come under fire for his leadership at the troubled tax agency, including seeing tens of thousands of taxpayers’ information stolen in a cyberattack, and continued efforts to delay tea party groups trying to obtain nonprofit status.

Late Tuesday, Mr. Obama blasted the impeachment effort, saying the IRS “inadvertently” deleted the Lerner emails, and saying that kicking Mr. Koskinen out of office for an oversight such as that was unprecedented.
