Check the last line of the statute.

but when said congressman on the same committee lies to said committee, while making concerted and vocal objections to block the investigation, and said head of the IRS also blocks efforts by said committee by refusing to provide requested information. And refusing to answer the committes questions stone walling the investigation, And the current replacement of the IRS claims it will take 3 years to provide requested documentation to same committee further blocking attempts to get the facts It points to the " smidgen" of corruption that the president is denying

that congressman is not even allowed by the Chair to SPEAK publicly at committee hearings. Going to the IRS directlly is hardly inappropriate, given how Issa has chosen to make of mockery of the committee. Corruption would indicate that something was done for personal gain. Who gained what, here?

Ya except that he went to the IRS BEFORE it ever became public and BEFORE the hearings started. cmon slick, quit making excuses. this IS corruption.

those hearings have been a disgusting joke since they were first convened. Once again, a Congressman contacting an exec department isn't even news, let alone evidence of 'corruption', no matter where in the process it occurred.
