UPDATE (more complete Boehner quote from Michelle Malkin):
"As I've said many times: when you break the law in pursuit of a political opponent, you've gone too far. Members of Congress have a responsibility not only to obey the laws of our country and the rules of our institution, but also to defend the integrity of those laws and rules when they are violated. That's why I chose this course of action nearly a decade ago. It was the right fight for the right reasons, and I am pleased to see it reach a successful conclusion today. I want to express my appreciation for the support of my constituents and the many individuals throughout our country who have supported my efforts to ensure justice is done in this matter."

[Congressman John] Boehner expressed relief that the dispute ended in his favor. "As I've said many times: When you break the law in pursuit of a political opponent, you've gone too far," he said in a statement. "Members of Congress have a responsibility not only to obey the laws of our country and the rules of our institution, but also to defend the integrity of those laws and rules when they are violated."
