Fox news: GOP leaders urge new IRS boss to scrap rule they claim would muzzle free speech

Republican congressional leaders are calling on the newly appointed IRS commissioner to scrap a new rule they claim would target politically active groups seeking tax-exempt status -- including the very same conservative groups the agency is accused of harassing.

"This proposed rule is an affront to free speech itself," the lawmakers wrote in a letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

The letter -- signed by House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and others -- marks the most coordinated effort yet by the GOP to fight the rule change, first proposed in November.

The letter comes as more conservative groups testified Thursday about IRS targeting, before a House oversight subcommittee.

So the IRS is hoping to circumvent the investigation into wrongdoing by upper echelon executives -- political appointees -- in the tax collection organization by making it legal to do what they were doing illegally.

There is nothing the administration will not do to undermine opposition views, destroy efforts to curb its illegal activities, or prevent actions aimed at curbing their own efforts to turn this country into a Marxist police state. Either impeachment and conviction, or civil war, is the only way this ends. I'm beginning to think its a toss up which one it will be.
