(Washington, D.C.) - Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Glenbeulah) signed a letter, along with colleagues from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, yesterday calling on President Obama to remove IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. Commissioner Koskinen is accused of obstructing Congressional investigations on the IRS’s intentional targeting of conservative groups based on their political beliefs and the missing Lois Lerner emails.

“The IRS has repeatedly failed to produce all of Lois Lerner’s emails while Commissioner Koskinen has been in charge,” said Congressman Grothman. “This is the problem with big government – going after the American people for political reasons. President Obama’s campaign pledge that his administration would be transparent with the American people has again been proven wrong. Instead, the American people have been lied to and deceived by top administration officials. I join my colleagues in asking President Obama to live up to his campaign pledge and fire Commissioner Koskinen. I hope this sends a message not only to the IRS, but to all agencies that even think about using their agency for political reasons.”
