House conservatives revived a long-shot effort Tuesday to oust IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, formally introducing an impeachment resolution expected to see a vote by the end of the week. Conservatives say Koskinen hampered Congress' effort to investigate the IRS for tough assessments of Tea Party groups that sought tax exemptions several years ago. Many Republicans have felt the IRS' actions were politically motivated, though investigators have never found evidence of that. "The impeachment resolution is riddled with factual errors and omissions and is based on flawed characterizations of law and events," background papers released by Koskinen's personal lawyers said. The impeachment effort is being engineered by the conservative House Freedom Caucus, of which Fleming is among about 40 members.
