We will take all Lois Lerner's emails, we'll take all Bill Wilkins' emails, and we'll take all the emails from IRS staff to the White House.

If the President wants to work hand in hand with Congress and you guys want to get to the bottom of this story, why wasn't that done back in May when this story broke?
Don't you think the American people would have liked to have that information from day one?

But if the purpose of this hearing is to impede implementation of new consumer protections and to address the causes of the financial crisis, I strongly reject that.
I believe that there will be a time when the signs will be, 'Don't touch my ACA benefits.'
We are dealing where disclosures that occurred under the IRS' watch under this President.
