Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee today as part of the committee's investigation into the IRS for targeting conservative tax-exempt groups for extra scrutiny.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was not pleased, accusing the IRS of a "pattern of abuse" with regards to the investigation. "I don't believe you," Ryan said.
