Political Quotes

On the recordMay 25, 2016
Yesterday Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen refused to testify before the House Judiciary Committee to answer allegations that he failed to comply with a congressional subpoena, which resulted in the destruction of key evidence, that he provided false statements during his sworn testimony, and that he did not notify Congress that the disgraced Lois Lerner's emails were strangely missing. Sadly, this is not what Americans deserve from the professionals of the IRS. The IRS should be accountable to answer questions about the corruption of its duties. This comes at a time when Congress and the American people have real concerns about bias by the IRS' targeting of conservative organizations and by cybersecurity vulnerabilities. I am grateful for House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte's and House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz' advocacy in their standing up for American taxpayers. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
