the irs commissioner john koskinen's job is safe for now. republicans have reached a deal to avoid impeachment vote at least for the time being. this all stems from accusations that koskinen lied to congress in an investigation about the irs's targeting of conservative groups. the house judiciary committee will now consider the impeachment. members of the house freedom caucus like john fleming led the impeachment charge he has never given a good explanation why -- and secondly when it did exist it all been destroyed. it took the newspaperrer general to tell us about the truth about that. >> there was never much chance that even if he were impeached in the house that koskinen could have been impeached in the senate. a lot of house republicans wanted to do it. fred, it was a good idea? what do you think. >> it was not a good idea at the current time. that's for sure. why make a big deal about some guy who nobody has ever heard of around a country on an issue you are going to lose on in the senate anyway. and it divides republicans in the house

again i don't see what the relevance of meeting with john koskinen is. he has had plenty of opportunities to come on the hill, to be sworn in, and to give testimony under oath about these questions. he's not been willing to do that. coming up and having a conversation i don't think is adequate matters of this importance. host: does it matter to you that this could be the first ever sublevel government official impeached? subcabinet level official impeached? mr. fleming: it does bother me. here's why. i can't recall a time in the past where we have ever such blatant activity that ignores the will of the american people and congress itself which has the power to check on our branches of government. we wouldn't have to do this if the executive branch would take care of its own approximate. in this -- own problems. in this case, lois lerner, they admit this, was targeting people for their political beliefs, commissioner koskinen was brought in to clean that mess up. and instead of doing that, he only obstructed justice or at least allowed the justice to be o

koskinen and mr.t goes to the very heart of the rule of law in this republic that so many lying out at arlington national cemetery died to preserve. mr. koskinen would never have allowed an american taxpayer to treat the audit the way that he and other officials had treated this investigation. the congress owes it to the american people and future generations and to our constitution to hold the perpetrators of this tyrannical abuse of power accountable and to make sure that it never happens again. with that, i will yield back. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman. commissioner, since you are the commissioner i have some tax questions for you. since 1976 every democratic and republican candidate for president has released a personal tax return. releasing tax returns allows voters with important background information of the contributions to his community how he may update his business. and i just would like to confirm a few things that we might
