i don't know who has that kind of money. considering his total criminal activity as far as what happened in new orleans goes. his organization does deserve to be audited. they don't deserve tax exempt status. he offers an example where, you know, where auditing is a very proper response to his organization. i don't know if he was included in that list, but that was immediately what came to mind when i thought of it. >> stephanie: yeah. yeah. absolutely. good point. listen, if i can get flagged for fry -- trying to write off my nude bee arthur painting that -- that's right. who is going to jail over this is what he is asking. fifty-eighting minutes after the hour. john dean joining us next on the "stephanie miller show."

[ laughter ] >> it has been amazing, it shows that a lot of people in washington are now historically challenged. they don't get it.

they don't know what happened in the past. >> stephanie: i said that last night, i said first of all i would suggest a history book. i was reading the interview you did with eleanor cliff, and you said not even close to watergate. you first started with benghazi. you said benghazi is loose charges in searching of a scandal, a cover your ass depreciation between two different agencies, state and the cia. right? >> that's exactly what it boils down to. it is almost becoming a conspiracy theory scandal, because republicans keep trying to add new wrongs that they never clarify what was wrong the last time when something was answered, and they keep moving it on. it is in search of some underlying transgression that offender everybody.

i think this one is going to fade because they have something else to chew on now, and i think they are going to move on realizing they don't have much here. it bores a lot of the public. it's obviously -- the base loves it, but, you know, you can only -- you can only play this game of something is wrong and nothing is showing up so long. >> stephanie: i have dogs so what you said really rings true to me. it's only when you show them a new raw hide it's oh, something better to chew on. and politically it appears to be backfiring. hilary's ratings have only gone up in the wake of this. >> i think they are doing a favor to hilary in fact. they are taking the air out of this. if she decides to run, it will be a non-issue by that time because they have beat it to death for so long and they are not going to get anything out of it. >> stephanie: yeah, karl rove has already run the first super

pac ad against hilary based on benghazi. >> well, he has always been cutting edge hasn't he? >> stephanie: and so incredibly wrong in the last election cycle -- >> he cuts the wrong edge is the problem. >> stephanie: let's move on to the irs -- as you were saying the irs thing a different matter, but it again bares no resemblance to what happened in the nixon white house. >> none whatsoever. i'm doing a book for the 40th anniversary of nixon's resignation, and listening to hundreds of conversations that had somehow gotten lost in trying to figure out what he knew and when he knew it. we know the generalities but a lot of the specifics have been lost. i had team of graduate students working for about three years now, and we will have done about a thousand conversations when we

finish. we have redone a lot of those that were already transcribed because they weren't good transcripts. i just the other day was listening to nixon talking about using the irs to attack his enemies, and it's just -- it's just so different from what is going on right now. where it's quite clear from the inspector general's report this is something that happened at a fairly low level within the irs. it is offensive to everybody to target left or right. they were overwhelmed with applications because of citizens united. this has always been a tricky area, the exemption of 501 c4s and 3s so it's mismanagement and a bureaucratic blunder that the republicans are trying to pump up into a major scandal. >> stephanie: and the extra

layer of irony there is it's mismanaging because the republicans have obstructed appointing a director. >> there are really only two political jobs in irs, the commissioner and the general counsel. and they are both vacant as i understand. >> stephanie: right. so to paint a historical compare and contrast, as you said the scrutiny of the tea party groups might have been directed out of the baloney when you contrast to nixon as you said, he planted someone at the irs and directed him who to target right? >> he did. in fact they created a whole division that they hoped to use for that purpose. he tried to get both secretary treasury connelly and then later schultz to -- to bend to his will on this and really had no

real luck on it. there was much more effort to do this than success in actually doing it. and he pushed it. he only talked ariel castro it with [ inaudible ] and they in turn would turn around and beat up on somebody else. >> stephanie: and the only time nixon became irate was when he found out that friends of his were being audited by mistake, like john wayne. >> i would have loved to hear that phone call to john wayne. >> what the hell is going on pilgrim? >> stephanie: exactly. >> i think obama is doing the right thing. he is taking the air out of this potential -- really expanding and there being a secondary kind of scandal that comes out of it. that obviously happens. that obviously happened with the

cover upwith watergate, it became worse than the stupidity of breaking into the dnc and trying to bug the place. they are -- i think the fact that holder started an fbi inquiry, and that they pushed the acting commissioner to step aside is smart smart -- it -- it -- there will be efforts when we have these hearings on friday to find morescape goats, but i don't think it will get much beyond that. >> stephanie: it is interesting -- talking about history, it does seem like such overreaching, we have republicans not only comparing everything to watergate, but to iran contra, again, pick up a history book. but the string of emails -- oh it was benghazi on march 19th, and john boehner could have seen them two months ago and is screaming about where are these emails? and the administration said for

the two months after he didn't make a peep, and no it had become larger than iran watergate, and the teapot dome combined. >> well flinging those liables around they are showing their own ignorance, because there are people around who can remember it, and call them on it. >> stephanie: let's talk about the ap thing? >> that to me is a non-scandal. i understand what is going on and why the press is alarmed by it but it really isn't scanned scandalous. they followed procedure. the man who authorized the subpoena is not a highly appointed employees. he is a long time career justice

department fella. who knows his way. they got a judge to approve the subpoena. the judge obviously asked questions about why they did the breadth and width they did. every president is plagued by national security leaks, and there's -- it's a delicate balance. nixon did try to prosecute ellsberg. i just listened to some tapes that it's very clear that they don't think they are going to win that. they did it as an example. now obama has been more successful than any of them. but he has not gone where he could go. when the pentagon papers leaked one of the first questions i got is could the "new york times" be

leakers more quickly, and avoids months and months of high-profile court cases. >> it's a disagreement with policy. not a scandal. that's what it is. >> stephanie: that's what i'm saying, and it doesn't take much imagination to say if this were george bush, they would scream about national security and who cares about the ap sissies, right? >> the presidents -- the reason they react this way, and i think this is an balanced reaction. is you just can't do very sensitive national security things in a fish bowl. and the press obviously likes these scoops. they like to show they can get in and get people to put information that should not be released. on the other hand there isn't a lack of responsibility for people who have committed themselves because they won't leak that information.
