IRS Commissioner John Koskinen contributed more than $85,000 to Democratic candidates and committees, MRCTV research has discovered - with a $5,000 donation to President Obama in 2012 and $19,000 to the Democratic National Committee from 1988 to 2008. This may explain the fawning thank yous Koskinen received for his public service from many Democrats last night on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. According to Open Secrets records, the IRS Commissioner that so many described as arrogant contributed to every Democratic nominee for president since 1980. He gave $2,300 to Obamas first run for president in 2009 and $5,000 in 2012. Koskinen has never contributed to a Republican, a search of records shows. Badgering witnesses is inappropriate and shameful for this Committee to conduct itself in that manner, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said in Koskinens defense during last nights testimony. I want this committee to be run as it should be run, with respect and decorum. And badgering this Commissioner as virtually every member on the Republican side has done [tonight] is shameful. And its gotta stop. Or Im telling you, one member here is going to walk out and not return. Nowhere in their impassioned defenses of Koskinen (or his noble public service) did Democrats mention that he has contributed almost $100,000 to their party. cnsnews/mrctv-blog/barbara-boland/dems-fawn-over-irs-commissioner-who-contributed-over-85000-their
