there have been newseum you hearings, letters and subpoenas issued by a variety of committees. now, the irs is no stranger to a summons or a subpoena. they know exactly how this works. in fact, on average, they issue about 66,000 summons and subpoenas per year. and they have since 2010. failure to obey an irs summons is a criminal violation section 7210 and carries with it a fine up to $1,000 and a year of imprisonment. if you don't comply, the irs is going to come after you. they do prosecute. the irs prevailed in 95% of the cases. again, compliance with the subpoena is not optional. providing false testimony before congress comes with a consequence, at least it should. it's a crime. mr. koskinen did not tell the truth to congress. he provided false testimony and failed to comply with the subpoena. he could have prevented evidence from being destroyed but he didn't and didn't tell the truth about it. americans are rightfully frustrated about targeting scandal and the lack of accountability. but the case before us is about mr. koskinen and what he did and did not do which perma
