“Let me make it perfectly clear. If the IRS had leaked information or had not done their job, they should not only be investigated, they should go to trial, and those who violate the law ought to be convicted and serve time for it.

I am not suggesting that you don't have rich people or foreign governments that are not nice people, but we should not provide a vehicle for them to influence our elections. Just because the Commissioner says, I don't need additional responsibility, I don't care whether he is appointed by a Democrat or a Republican, it is not for Commissioners to say what is good for this country. It is for this House of Representatives and the Senate.”
