“Instead of responding to Congress’ subpoena, the IRS destroyed over 24,000 documents (evidence of targeting conservative groups) but, today, Mr. Koskinen is still the Commissioner of the IRS,” said Rep. Loudermilk.

“There are two types of enforcement of laws in this nation: one for the citizen and one for the government official. You see, the Sarbanes-Oxley catch-all that’s been used to successfully prosecute people for destruction of documents and other evidence, excludes government agencies. The American people deserve justice; and, thankfully Congress has the power to impeach those who continually violate the public trust.”
