If Obama knew what the IRS was doing to conservative groups and allowed it to occur, would you support going forward with impeachment?

Yes, of course. But there's no evidence that he did, at this point.

I would have voted for - yes, but impeachment lacks the gravity it once did after Slick Willie slipped the noose.
He was impeached.
Yes, but your Senate failed to confirm it. There was a time in America when men and women of honor rose above party politics to hold one of their own accountable for their actions. That time is long gone. As such, impeachment is only relevant these days as it relates to Justices who abuse their positions.
While we are on the subject of who knew about the IRS investigation.
Here is a story to ponder.
Rep. Issa Aware Of IRS Investigation Since Last July
Perhaps you're on to something but isn't the issue who knew about the activities of the IRS and didn't disclose them not who knew they were being investigated?
If Issa knew about the IRS thing in July of 2012, long before it became known to the general public, why did he not act on this since this is such a scandal.
To be fair, pretty much all of Congress knew that the IRS Inspector General was investigating concerns that Congressmen and Senators reported to him related to this issue. None of them had, in July 2012, any proof that anything systemic was actually happening, they just had anecdotal evidence from concerned constituents. It wasn't until about 10 to 12 days ago when an official of the IRS let the cat out of the bag when she realized the Inspector General was about to issue a scathing report against the IRS's actions that proof was ascertained and became public knowledge.
So, again, the real issue is not who knew in July 2012 that the IRS Inspector General was investigating. The real issue is who in the administration knew in 2010 and 2011 that this was standard practice in the IRS and who actually initiated the process.

What if Obama learned about this at the same time as everyone else.
