President Trump made it official on Thursday that embattled IRS Commissioner John Koskinen will be out of a job next month.
Trump tapped David Kautter, the Treasury Department’s assistant secretary for tax policy, to serve as interim IRS commissioner, beginning Nov. 13.
Koskinen’s term ends on Nov. 12. He was eligible for reappointment, but Koskinen is fiercely opposed by congressional Republicans. Members of the House Freedom Caucus attempted but failed to impeach Koskinen last year, largely over his handling of the scandal involving former IRS official Lois Lerner.

Koskinen in many ways is worse than Lois Lerner. When he testified he was smug, arrogant, evasive and combative. He has done absolutely nothing about the IRS scandal. He is the worse kind of swamp-dweller. Why wasn't fired on Day 1 of the Trump administration is a mystery.

DeleteI remember that and Trump should have fired many more at first, in hindsight of course. :)
