Senator Rand Paul says that appropriate punishments need to be handed out to officials involved in the IRS’ unfair treatment of Tea Party groups and conservative “patriot” groups applying for tax exemption.

“Someone needs to be fired,” Paul said on Fox News’s Neil Cavuto Tuesday. “And it seems to be impossible to fire a government employee. Still no one has been fired over Benghazi. They were transferred. We called them up today. They still all have phone numbers and offices. That’s the problem.”

“People want government to be responsive. And if someone uses and abuses the power of government, they want that person kicked out of office.” Paul asserted.

Paul also stated that should a proper investigation find criminal activity at the heart of the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, then “someone needs to go to jail.”

The Senator repeated his call for an independent investigation into the scandal,

Taking aim at the president’s attempted detachment from the issue, Paul said that if Obama truly is “outraged”, as he has claimed, then “…we want to see him do something. He needs to say, in a short period of time, that someone is going to be leaving.”
