The egregious treatment of conservative and Tea Party groups by the IRS has gone too long unpunished. Now, conservatives are finally getting serious about taking to task those responsible for targeting right-leaning non-profit organizations.

A meeting was recently organized with staffers of President Trump by White House conservative liaison Paul Teller and included about two dozen conservative leaders to discuss their wishes for IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, according to The Daily Caller. Their message to Trump’s team? Remove all Obama-era bureaucrats so that the Trump administration can successfully pursue its stated agenda. One major step to that end is firing Koskinen, something Congress hadn’t the courage to do last year.

“Koskinen allegedly defied congressional subpoenas and preservation orders by allowing the destruction of potentially incriminating evidence on former IRS official Lois Lerner’s involvement in the targeting scandal,” notes the DC’s report.

If Trump is serious about draining the swamp, there’s no better candidate. Koskinen has proven he’s not on the side of the American people or the law of our country. It’s taken too long to even get to this point. Firing him immediately is the only path to justice.

The Trump administration should instruct the DOJ to stop stalling in the NorCal Tea Party vs. IRS class action case, to turn over all requested documents without further delay, and to immediately move towards settlement.
