"Since the terrible tragedy that took four American lives in Benghazi, we've had difficulty, to put it mildly, trying to get to the bottom of this," the second-ranking Senate Republican said during a Google Hangout session he held while the Senate is on recess.

Darrell E. Issa is now threatening subpoenas to pry loose the information from FBI Director James B. Comey Jr. Mr. Issa, California Republican, and Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, are leading the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's IRS inquiry. They also said the FBI is refusing to turn over any documents related to its own investigation into the IRS, which began in the days after an auditor's report revealed the tax agency had improperly targeted tea party groups for special scrutiny.
