Reminder: IRS Commish Koskinen is a major Democrat donor

He sounds impartial...

Sometimes I wonder if you people ever think about what you're reading in the conservative sewer of a blogosphere. The man has given $100,000 to various democratic candidates over a period of forty years. That's $2500 a year, hardly what I would call a major donor. Hell, by that measure I would almost qualify as a major donor. And it's sure not enough to buy him a job as the IRS commish.

witchhunt brah..........

So do people who work for the federal government lose their right to political speech and to support whomever they want to get elected?

I think this is a reach.

Hardly. I would never say anything of the sort. I do think, though, that it's incredibly disingenuous to appoint a loyal democrat donor to head an agency in the midst of an investigation into its political efforts against conservative groups. Surely objective partisans on both sides would concede as much.

If I ever said that he shouldn't be allowed to work in government, I'd agree with this assertion.

I understand what you're saying, but I'd argue that any bureaucrat who has advanced in his career high enough to be appointed the head of a major agency has played the political game enough to be considered a loyal _______ by the people on the other side.

His reporting to the treasury department, the WH and someone else I can't remember at the time, and not reporting it to the committee at the same time has a distinctive smell to it, does it not?

If you have $2500 to give away per year on political candidates than you are a major donor IMO

That's a lot of money to most Americans

Patronage. And no, it is not uncommon (for either party). It is the major reason that Iraq is imploding right now.

Unfortunate but true.

Koskinen is being witch hunt from all these acquisitions......
