Darrell Issa actually said...

"Congress should reaffirm that the laws that Congress has enacted to protect taxpayers and citizens from an overreaching Federal Government in fact apply to the IRS."

"I'm not a defender of the IRS; I'm a defender of my constituents who want there to be accountability."

"This was the targeting of the President's political enemies, effectively, and lies about it during an election year."

"I believe that the IRS, and its employees and Federal employees should be held to the same standard when they lie to us."
