The statements make sense when you realize that IRS is authorized personnel to perform specific duties ~ with a specific number of personnel - who have specific training.
It is one of the more tightly controlled agencies and simply doesn't have a slush fund to dip into to do things not otherwise specified by Congress.
Not too long ago Congress had dictated that IRS devote 30% of their workhours to auditing returns claiming EITC ~ (Earned Income Tax Credit)
EITC was worth about $50 billion per year. The deficit, in contrast is 20X as large and there are individual taxpayers (corporate and personal) who turnover several times that amount every year ~ and maybe half a dozen IRS tax auditors will be assigned there.
BTW, full or part time students who claim EITC are ALSO audited by their schools.
Unless Boehner decides to put a bill forward that authorizes so many IRS auditors to specifically look at Obamakkkare related issues nothing will happen. Somehow I doubt Boehner is going to do that.

I suppose Obama is now looking for a new IRS Commissioner. Someone who is more of a team-player and follows orders without questions.

In grade school, we had a simple reply to such an unbelievable statement and that reply was .... “NOT!”

What percentage is authorized for political audits? Like the ones Clinton had done on women who reported that he raped them?

Unless we really feel like it, or you cause us some other type of a problem. Then we’ll use these laws against you...
A situation ripe for “Selective Prosecution” and bribery.

And most appropriately so, I am sure.
