"House committee chairman moves to impeach IRS chief"

Being as cynical as I am about the political firmament, I can't help wondering what the ulterior motive is here. He's not up for re-election >:-)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican chairman of a powerful House committee moved Tuesday to impeach the head of the Internal Revenue Service, saying he violated the public trust and obstructed congressional investigations into the treatment of conservative groups.
   Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen failed to comply with a congressional subpoena, allowed documents to be destroyed and misled the public. Chaffetz chairs the House Oversight Committee, which has been investigating the IRS for more than two years.
   Chaffetz called impeachment an appropriate tool to restore public confidence in the IRS and "demonstrate to the American people that the IRS is under repair."
   The impeachment bid comes less than a week after the Justice Department said no IRS official will face criminal charges in the political controversy over the processing of applications by groups seeking tax-exempt status.
   The decision closed a two-year investigation into accusations that stoked outrage among Republicans in Congress, who alleged bias in the tax agency's treatment of conservative and tea party groups in seeking the tax-exempt designation..........

Koskinen is pretty obviously a Finnish name, but Wikipedia is oddly close-mouthed as to his parentage.
