House Republicans File Articles of Impeachment Against IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for Making False Statements to Congress

From Ace of Spades HQ:
Of course, we know how this will end -- the Democrats will not even show up to the hearings to hear evidence. They'll just show up when it's their turn to talk, and they'll launch into a strident defense of all our wonderful civil servants and how the civil service shouldn't be politicized.

Like, you know. Like using the IRS to target those of the opposite political inclination.

Well whatever. They will vote lockstep in the Senate to absolve Koskinen, except, maybe, Joe Machin, who will take a poll before he votes to see if it's necessary to pretend to care about this, or if it's better for him, poll-wise, to just be what he is, which is an intensely partisan and ideological progressive liberal who wears a cowboy hat every six years to gull the hicks into thinking he's "one of them."
Yes, the will NOT win the in the Senate, But that is not the point. The point is to follow up on your promises. Also, the Democrats in purple states will have to defend the vote when they are up for re-election. The IRS Commissioner vote can use used as a sledge hammer.
