Remember when President Obama promised a super-transparent and accountable presidency? It gets more laughable every day:

IRS officials who destroyed Lois Lerner's emails were never fired, Koskinen says https://t.co/6YfPtBiA9S

At the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing for John Koskinen, the embattled IRS commissioner had already admitted to making false statements to Congress, and it just kept getting worse:

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Wednesday the two unnamed employees who destroyed thousands of emails belonging to Lois Lerner, former head of the tax-exempt unit, kept their jobs at the agency.

During his impeachment hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Koskinen said the two officials had committed an “honest mistake” by wiping 422 back-up tapes believed to contain Lerner’s emails in 2014. The emails had been requested under a congressional subpoena during the investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups.

Simply amazing.

No accountability. No transparency. No integrity. Our government is out of control. https://t.co/bZf8m0HvEH

@sarahcwestwood it was only "poor management."

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren demands accountability (from Wells Fargo) and all the Dems want to talk about at the Koskinen impeachment hearing is Trump’s taxes.
