Just more circuses to hand slap a couple of the guilty criminals.
The former director criminally broke the law.
The current director criminally broke the law.
The people who "just obeyed orders" from these criminals are also guilty.People who these criminals worked for are even more guilty regardless of their insulation and plausible deniability. Put them all in jail. throw away the key, fire all the rest of the "service" employees, and shut the unconstitutional, looting protection racket down.
The result will be a couple trillion less stolen from the people and $10 trillion more savings (previously wasted) on unnecessary paperwork by innocent, productive people.
Want a real economic recovery?
Here is the solution.

Complete, out of control corruption is now the standard for our Federal government, resulting from Americans' laxity in their duty to watch the government. We've become used to venal behavior as a kind of entertainment, with wayward politicians ranking right up there with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian as untalented, amoral "celebrities."

Celebrity has become a replacement for morality. Part of the problem lies with "morality" becoming equated with organized religion, which isn't as popular with much of the people as it once was.

Even the numbers indicating substantial church attendance are deceptive, as more than a few ostensibly Christian institutions have engaged in relativistic morality to the point some are referred to as "The Church of Whatever." Exaggerated public displays of righteousness are equated with hypocritical televangelists for many people, and I think it's part of what hurt Ted Cruz's campaign.

Unless some method can be found to recover a foundation for moral behavior in our society, we're going to see the collapse of the institutions that made this country unique in the world. Current socialist passions are an obvious misguided desire for a moral government that eliminates the sources of corruption. The moral vacuum needs filling.

Nickursis the article reads like a horror story. "Congress needs to get ADVICE" about impeaching a agency head that failed to comply to a suppena from congress, destroys evidence of wrong doing ,plus obstructing justice. WTF, then reading further, guess what administration officials also interfering with investigation. Disreputable humans are the monsters and there is an abundance of con men ists involved.

Dirty tricks start at the attitude from the top and filter down into the acts of underlings no matter how high their rank. Everyone knows that the person at the top will just smile at the IRS antics. That is the attitude that encourages mischief. But it is also the same attitude that protects the person at the top. It is why the IRS is a hatchet and its director a hatchet man.

The IRS is a gigantic engine of theft, stealing billions upon billions from the American people yearly. Until and unless this simple fact is understood by a significant number of voters there will be no meaningful "reform." This scandal is a minor diversion. Some heads may roll and the Republicans will gain a little mileage, but no real change will take place. Nothing to see here.
