Look at the time line. You knew in April; you didn't tell us until June 13th.

But my question to you is are you willing to have those people come testify.

Mr. Cain says on February 4th he knew. You indicate in your testimony mid-February we knew there were big problems.

The idea that was just how--if it was mismanagement, it was mismanagement in a targeted way.

To portray it as you are not talking about this issue as you bring people before Congress is just not accurate.

Something this important, Lois Lerner, the lady who sat in your chair and took the Fifth, the central figure in this investigation, you lose her emails; your chief counsel knows in February, the lawyer in charge of document production…

One thing that impacts morale is when you get a subpoena. I get that. But that is your cause.

And all I am saying is I am not sure they were going to tell us.

I think all kinds of people logically going through this would say, you know what, that is what prompted these guys.

It seems to me you can't have it both ways.

When, in fact, Lois Lerner has been found by a committee of this Congress to have violated laws as she targeted conservatives for their views.

My question is this: what more will it take for the administration to appoint a special counsel?

All that cries out for a special prosecutor.

We need to hold all wrongdoers accountable for the targeting of Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights to speak out in a political fashion.

I join with the chairman in reiterating that we need a special prosecutor because you are a political appointee...

I just find it amazing, and I know that Mr. Horsford has left and I am sorry he has left because he would get an opportunity, once again, to take the party line.

I am ashamed that you sit here day after day implying that there is no reason for a special prosecutor.

Yes, we have contempt for the man you work for. Because, in fact, Congress has, as a matter of record, held him in contempt for failure to deliver documents.

You say it is available publicly, but you don't get it publicly. You go get it from the IRS.

And then you have the President of the United States go on national television and say there is not a smidgen of corruption in the Internal Revenue Service.

The Justice Department asked for information that you said is publicly available, but you go to Lois Lerner to get it.

I want every single piece of correspondence Lois Lerner sent to anybody. We want all of them.

All I'm saying is there's no 6103 problem with these three, and we should've had them a long time ago.

They had a duty to preserve documents. We know they didn't do that.

We want certain people to come in front of this committee and elaborate on the fact that they've breached these three duties.
