Trey Gowdy OWNS smug IRS Commissioner: Learn the law before you spew talking points

Via Billy

 
Trey Gowdy, R- South Carolina came down hard on IRS Commissioner John Koskinen at a Monday night hearing on Capitol Hill.

Gowdy showed his chops by educating the commissioner on “spoliation of evidence,” a legal term meaning the jury can draw a negative inference if a party fails to preserve evidence that could be damaging.

“It’s common sense, right?” Gowdy asked.

After a making sure Koskinen had a firm understanding of the concept,  Gowdy continued by saying the Internal Revenue Service is not above the law and that this principle applies to the agency the same way it applies to the American people.

    Gowdy is an amazingly good cross examiner. He's a pleasure to watch work.

    I was laughing HARD listening to Gowdy tear him UP in a news spot on Sirius 125.
    I hope this dude doesn't have any skeletons in his closet because I'd love to see him run for something bigger than Congress if he's this kinda of no BS bulldog.
    He doesn't align 110% with my views, but he's reeealllly close :)

      :) He'll do! Couple him with Bill Whittle and we'd have a team.
