Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and IRS Commissioner John Koskinen (Associated Press)On Wednesday, conservative House Republicans in a high-profile, highly political committee voted to censure the head of the IRS. Plus, not all House Republicans are even on board with the idea of a censure. Meanwhile, House Democrats think Republicans are taking out all their anger about the IRS on one noble public servant, a man who came out of retirement to lead the embattled agency, no less. It's a rare but symbolic vote that, if passed by the full House -- a big if -- wouldn't remove IRS Commissioner John Koskinen from his job. There appears to be a split between hard-line conservatives, who want Koskinen gone, and the rest of the House Republicans, who don't seem too eager to take that step.
