The feud between Republicans and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen has reached its boiling point, with the House taking a step toward impeaching him.

Republicans are focusing on allegations that Koskinen engaged in misconduct related to Congress’s investigation of a recent political targeting controversy. Koskinen took office shortly after it was revealed that the IRS had subjected conservative groups’ applications for tax-exempt status to increased scrutiny.

The House Judiciary Committee announced Friday that it will hold two hearings in the coming weeks to examine alleged misconduct by Koskinen.

The first hearing, on May 24, will involve the presentation of the House Oversight Committee’s findings of its investigation into Koskinen. The IRS commissioner has also been asked to testify.

The second hearing, which will take place sometime in June, will involve outside experts commenting on the Oversight Committee’s findings and speaking about any further action Congress should take.

“I’m encouraged that we’re starting the process,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told The Hill on Monday. He added that he is hoping there will be a vote on impeachment for Koskinen following the hearings.

The resolution stated that the commissioner “engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an officer of the United States.”

According to the resolution, Koskinen failed to respond to a congressional subpoena about communications to and from former IRS official Lois Lerner, given that the IRS destroyed thousands of Lerner’s emails after the subpoena was issued. The resolution said Koskinen also made false and misleading statements to Congress about the communications and failed to promptly notify lawmakers about the missing emails.

“He breached every single duty he had regarding the targeting of conservative groups,” Jordan said.

While the resolution focuses on the targeting scandal, GOP lawmakers have other grievances with the IRS, including the agency’s handling of cybersecurity, its requests for funding increases to hire more employees and its handling of illegal immigrants’ tax returns, Jordan said.

But impeachment of Koskinen is no sure thing.

In April, Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), chairman of the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee, suggested that impeachment could be difficult to achieve because of this year’s short legislative calendar and uncertainty over whether the Senate would convict.

“What I think we need to do is win an election, get better people in these agencies and reform the tax code so that we’re not harassing the average taxpayer with a tax code they can’t even understand,” he said.

Their general feeling is that “the IRS is moving along,” he said.

The IRS said Friday that Koskinen is focused on his work to help taxpayers.

“In addition to completing a successful filing season this spring, we continue making progress on a number of important issues involving taxpayer service, tax enforcement and cybersecurity,” the agency said.

Investigations by a Treasury Department inspector general and the Justice Department have found no evidence that IRS employees destroyed information in order to obstruct justice, and the White House has fiercely defended Koskinen.

“The fact is, Mr. Koskinen has an extraordinarily difficult job, and it’s made only more difficult because Republicans seek to try to cut the funding of his agency,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said last month. “He is somebody who undertakes that work with a lot of professionalism and seriousness of purpose, and he deserves our gratitude for his good work.”

Congressional Democrats also blasted the GOP.

“House Republican efforts to impeach or censure the IRS commissioner are exercises in partisanship and a total waste of time and money,” Oversight Committee ranking member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a recent statement.

“Nobody who has examined this issue has identified any evidence of political targeting — not the Justice Department, not the Republican Inspector General of the IRS, and not even the Oversight Committee.”
