Might it be the head of the IRS, who didn't, according to your testimony, didn't even look at all the sources for potential Lois Lerner emails?

The reason you can't describe it is because there's no explanation for that other than they were trying to not help the American people get to the truth.

The IRS is not being transparent, not helping the American people get to the truth.

Somebody has to be held accountable.

People need to be held accountable, and we are going to get to the truth.

What would have been a lot nicer is if the counsel for your side, when they were in front of the judge, would have told him what you told the court.

Those are the facts. That's what we need to get the answers to.

Federal judge agreed with the President, what he said 22 times, and said the executive amnesty order was in fact wrong.

As the chairman indicated, 22 times the President said he couldn't do what he did.

The problems at the Bank are so awful that they should be a wake-up call not just about Ex-Im but about the problems with corporate welfare across the Federal Government.

Many people forgot--excuse me--forget that the $90,000 in cash found in former Representative William Jefferson's freezer related directly to a bribe taken to help a company secure financing from the Export-Import Bank.

The Bank's absence will make our economy stronger.

In fact, in my view and the view of many economists, quite the opposite will happen.

These kinds of revelations have become all too common at the Export-Import Bank, and it is another reason that I am glad it appears my colleagues will finally let the Bank expire.

The need to consult with the White House arises with respect to all types of document requests, including congressional committee requests, GAO requests, judicial subpoenas, and FOIA requests.

I can't speak for the entire IRS. That would be a question for the Chief Counsel or the Commissioner.

To the extent that I have been involved in responses to Congress or to FOIA, we have never shared information with the White House.

Deliberative process exemption has increased dramatically?

The very same agencies that may not give information under a legitimate FOIA request were also targeting citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights.

I still think this is amazing, that none of them had ever testified on this issue before.

I mean, what does that mean, for Pete's sake? I mean, normal people can't understand all that.

Part of what I hope we look for in this Committee moving forward are ways the Inspector General can continue their investigation.

By turning a blind eye, EPA management allowed at least six more women to be harassed by Mr. Jutro.

It is well past time that someone be held accountable for these management failures.

The fact is that the inspector general said you can't account for $500 million.
