A handful of House Freedom Caucus members are considering forcing a vote on a resolution to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen before Congress adjourns for a seven-week recess, members said Tuesday.

"We're still hopeful that it will go through committee, still hopeful that there's a potential for judiciary to act on this particular issue," said North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, a founding member of the Freedom Caucus. "There's lots of questions about procedural motions. Those things are still all on the table but no decisions have been made."

Since House leaders have offered no commitment that the chamber will vote on the impeachment resolution, members of the conservative caucus have discussed offering a privileged motion to force a floor vote on the matter.

"Certainly leadership has been given ample opportunity to move that forward with plenty of efforts to suggest that need," said Freedom Caucus member John Fleming of Louisiana.

Republicans are even do-nothing on their own proposals!

1. Because Republicans hate him and want him gone, he instantly gets props in my book.

What are those GOP troglodytes accusing him of? Targeting conservative groups? More butthurt bullshit from Republicans.

[ffr]

2. No vote about keeping guns out of the hands of known terrorists though.

I'll be looking forward to seeing all the outrage on M$M tonight. Can't wait!

4. You're very confused...

during a Democratic administration your primary job, as a Repug member of Congress, is to whine, moan, bitch and investigate the administration. Any other use of your time would be a disservice to your party and put you on it's shit list and on the way out.

3. More evidence that the GOP has gone over the cliff of insanity.

Nuff said

5. before Congress adjourns for a seven-week recess,

6. Since Meadows wants it to happen that is the last thing Congress should do.

We never had such a complete waste of the public time and money like him. Freedom Caucus is about denying everyone else's rights and have no constructive views or options to offer. Bully in a very small pool is Mr. Meadows. His record in Congress is so lame he has to invent something like this to run on back home, where I am informed he is not loved as much as once he was.
