“There are laws in place to prevent this type of abuse,” Beohner said, adding that someone made a “conscious choice” to target these groups in violation of the law. The Speaker insisted that Americans need to know who those people are.

“My question is, who’s going to jail over this scandal?” a visibly angry Boehner asked, before turning the podium over to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
