have a great night. ♪ >> what the government did to our little group in alabama is unamerican. ey think they are our mters, and they are mistaken. i am not interested in the scoring a political points. i want to protect and preserve the america that i grew up. the america that people across the oceans and risk their lives to become a part of. lou: that is the key garrison, the alabama with tampa tea party pouring her card out describing what a agency of our federal government did to her and her fellow citizens, talng about the ways in which employees of the internal revenue service abused her and her organization.

good evening, everybody. thank you for being with us. we often hear this great country of ours is going to hell in handbasket. today in washington d.c. for more than ample evidence of that four separate hearings on capitol ll focusing on a number of scandals at have engulfed the obama winehouse. formermbassar thomas pickering who led the post benghazi investigation today testified that behind closed doors the house oversight committee. health and hum services secretary before congress today. she defended her decision to pressure groups that she regulates to support a nongovernment group push for obamacare enrollmt. nd our military leaders testifying today in front of the senate arms services committee about military sexual asssults that are reaching epidemic levels. today we are described as a cancer within the force.

so tonight, here we go. we begin with the irs scandal, the chairman of an organization that promotes traditional marriage today testified that the irs leaked confidential donor information to a competing group and that he has proof that the irs committed a felony, but he has not been able to hold the internal revenue service accountable. >> you have proof that the irs, i individual or group of individuals in the irs committ a felony. you ve proof to this, and nothing has occurred to seek or find justice, is that corre. >> that's correct. federal law requires that we be notified if there is an indictment brought. we have not been. federal law allows us to request information about the status of the investigation, whether it has been productive or unproductive and any action taken. and we were refused any answer

to that request as well. lou: it democratic congressman jim mcdermott did not appear to be quite himself today when he argued that the two-party and consertive groups are themselves to blame for the internal revenue service abuse of power. the irs is outrageous that those organizations lecher, an accusation that republican paul ryan found absurd. >> each of your groups is highly political. opposing the health care reform to abortion district -- restctions today marriage, you are all interested some of the most controversy a political issues in the country. wi your applications you were asking the american public to pay for the work. >> ltv for my original qution in response to what i just heard. [applause] cents implied that the organizationare responsible for targeting because they chose to apply for tax-exempt status.

so you're to blame, i guess is the message here. lou: even more revelations of former irs commissioner, fox news reporting that his wife, the senior adviser for a prominen left-wing think tank was involved in organizing and occupy wall street demonsttion through her twitter account back in december of 2011. meanwhile, new government what start report adds more fuel to the irs fire. we told you yesterday, the irs en nrly $50,000,000.225 employee conferences over three years. we have learned that those conferens were even more lavish than they first appeared. just one of those conferences in anaheim california in 2010 cost $4 million. among the expenses, more than $11,000 for a so-called happen is expert. $17,000 for a painter who taught irs employees through art and

more than $50,000 in video production costs for now infamous star trek parity. that is what we are told, and a video featuring irs workers trng to line dance. new reports tonight that top of normal political appointees have hidden their communications and their actions by using secret e-mail accounts. the associated press reports that top obama officia within ten cabinet level agencies are using the alternate e-mail addresses. this after former epa administrator lee said jackson announced resignation in december after use of an alias e-mail was revealed publicly. the ap report coming just weeks after the department of justice and attorney general eric holder were caught looking into f news chief washington correspondent james rosen

persally know. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with our report. >> the administration haseen slipping in reporters nlm boxes and may not want the public to see some government e-mail accounts. the associated press revealing today several top political appointees, including health and human services secretary are using secret government e-mail accounts. >> it is a practice that is very convenient because it is an excuse note a lot of the affirmation of it to congress or to the public. and that is a real problem. >> insisting she only has multiple e-mail accounts for convenience. the public can access all of them. >> there i no secret e-mail account. there is a public e-mail and a private e-mail. they are all ailable. >> explaining she has a publicly known e-mail addresses she is accessible to constituents and then a more private account that fer people know about to

conduct important business with staff and others. >> twenty-seven, 28,000 e-mails a month come into the public e-mail. of 400 come into the private e-mail. is just a management issue. i cannot possibly answer or screen all of them. i want people to attend the answers. >> spokesman jay carney noted the white house is not subject to the freedom of affirmation. he stressed when it comes to the various controversies confronting the administration, officials are turning over documents to congress from all of the mill accounts. >> are the secrets? in thenswer is no. they are subject to congressional inquiry. >> none republican says that type of transparency did not happen when he investigated then epa administrator lee said jackson whose use of an alias e-mail account was not disclosed to cgress. >> that has not happened historically in places like the epa. rebelled over that for months.

secondly, unless they disclose all of the accounts that exist, we have to sort of take their rd for it that they know about these accounts and that they're checking them. and that is not good enough, particularly when they clearly lied and hideacts and many other scandals. >> he insisted that compared to other administrations as white house has been transparent, but the standard iseing tested right now in terms of cooperation with congress on all these various controversies. lou: thank you very much. henry. turning to the department of justice scandal, attorney general eric holder's job is apparently se. senior administration officials denied telling fox news there is still full confidence in the attorney general of the highest levels of the white house. despite and new york times report sunday which suggested some in the west wing would prefer a step down. as for holder himself, he reportedly is not too concerned about the backlash fromis

department's crackdown on media leaks. bloomberg is reporting holder held a meeting with top aides just last week wheree said he was finee and that they all needed to stay focused and g their work done. back to capitol hill, the nation's top military brass coming under fire today from the senate armed services commiee. its members are outraged over the disturbing rise and sexual assaults and arm forces. some senators such as democrat kirsten gilbrand of new york are pushing to have sexual assault cases handled outside the chain of command. >> not all commanders our objectives. not every single command necessarily wants women in the force. not every single command necessarily believes what a sexu assault is or can distinguish between a slap on the and a rape because they have merged all of these crimes together. lou: for more on the hearing we turn now to fox news national security correspondent jeff griffin.

>> facing in nearly all male panel of military service chiefs and lawyers, the senate armed services committee, including a record high seven women,ent on the attac chastising the military's handling of sexual assault. >> you have lost to the fate of the men and women that rely on you that you will actually bring justice to these cases. they are afraid toeport. they think their careers will be over. they fear retaliation. they fear being blamed. >> ts isn't about sex. this is about assaulted domination and violence. as long as those two did most together you will not be as successful as you need to be at getting after the most insidious part of this which is a predator is in ur ranks. this is a crisis that i believe the military base to step up and confront. >> the frustration stems from a recent pentagon report which

estimated 26,000 service members expeeienced unwanted sexual contact last year. those affected were not just women. >> just over half of victims of sexual assault and the military are male. 14,000 of those 26,000 victims last year or mail. it seems shocking, i think, for people to hear that. but when we realize that rape and sexual assault are part of that -- about power and control. >> a bipartisan group of senators has proposed legislion to adjust the uniform code of military justice and remove cases of sexua sault from the descendants te of command. >> if you have to go through a nineonth trial and then have your commanding officer overturned a jury verdict and have to salute the perpetrator, the predator repute, something is wrong with the system. >> the president demanded answers last month. today those se chiefs pushed back on a proposal that would take away a commanders' authority to decide which cases go to trial. >> if i believe that we are

removing commaers and they're centl responsibility and addressing sexual assault was of these crimes within our ranks i would be your strongest proponents. removing commanders, making commanders less responsible and less accountable will not work. >> that issue was the crux of today's debate. both sides agree something has to change. >> just last night a woman came to me and said her daughter wanted to join the military and could i give my unqualified support for doing so. i could nott >> it was another republican senator whose remarks aree scrutiny. >> young folks that are coming into each of your services or anywhere from 17. that is the lel bottom of the hormone level created by nature setting in place the possibility for these typesf things to

>> fellow republican congressman mike turr issued a press release attacking chambliss saying it is simple. criminals are responsle for sexual assaults, not hormones. perpetuating this line of thinking does nothing to help change the culturef our military. lou: thank you. jennifer griffin, fox news national security correspondent. new developments tonight in the benghazi scandal. former ambassador thomas pickering giving a lengthy closed-door deposition before the house oversight committee on hiinvestigation into last year's terrorist act. republicans argue his review of the fact the nep to benghazi was flawed because pickering and his co-author did not interview high-ranking officials, including then secretary of state hillary clinton. today the ambassador defended his review and committed to an open-hearing on the matter within two weeks. bill clinton first urged his wife to run against an incompetent, incumbent

deal in place, in turn, president obama would endorse hillary in 2016, president has been dodging in and out of that deal since, joining us with detail of this fascinating relationship and deal, author of best selling book.

control over the democratic party apparatus. that was the deal. it stuck right through the election until obama won. then he started backing off the deal. lou: backing off the deal. and i have to tell you, hard to follow right now, because then as you report, bill clinton gets furious because the president decides all right, i don't need him any more. then the next thing we see are hillary clint and barack obama in a departs secretary of state second termresident, suddenl all lovey-dovey on the camera of 60 minutes. >> that was the payoff that obama had to do when he found out that clinton of the so upset -- clinton was so upset, clinton was app poe.

>> hillary thought he might be having a heart attack, they got scared. lou: this is not a inconsiderable talent or potential add ver adversary. >> right, i think that obama realized that, 60 minutes was one payoff, the big kiss on televion, then second payoff was obamas invited the clintons to the white house for the very first time to have dinner in the family quarters. >> that is amazing. >> gue who was there? valerie jarrett. they would not have dinner with them alone. lou: as you point out. the president clinton and president obama have nev been close, but president clinton talking about george w. bush

asked him more for advice than did or hasresident obama. what is the current state of the relationship? what is the state of the deal? what are hillary's plans for 2016. >> the state of the deal, i've done told by the -- been told by the soues that clintons he more or less given up any hope of getting obama's endorsement in 2016. lou: despi the deal. >> the deal has been tossed over the side of the boat. it aears from what i have been told that joe biden has decided to run for president in 2016. d obama saying, well he is my vice president he is the guy who has been loyal to me for all these years, i can't not you know turn -- i can't turn my back on joe, i can't really endorse you hillary. because of this so, this is his excuse to get out of endorsing hillary. lou: the parameters of the deal

changes quite frequently for the president. i am sure that makes everyone comftable who would have to to dl with him, john boehner would be famously reminded of how effect of a deal is with this preside. this can't be helpful to the president it doesn't seem at least to me to be a deal breaker for hillary, and her aspirations for 201316, is it? >> -- for 2016, is it? >> i don't think it is, you have a president who breaks his word with almost everyoneo whom he gives it i he been following bracbarack obama for years, i ct tell you how many people have told me, i had a deal with i kept up hig ohio side

there seems to be no evidence that he is actually running the government. it seems the best i can reckon if you look at the justice department, irs, they seem to be political operations out of the west wing rather than governments and these agencies seem to be acting on behalf of the citizens they are supposed to serve but the political prospects of the president. >> that is very true, but i think it is a direct result

after he won in 2008, which he was never supposed to do because hillary was to get the nomination, after he won again in 2012, at 1.he thought he might lose, he comes in as though he is god the miracle worker and surrounds himself with campaign operatives and they do know hall to run a government. lou: these are disturbing. the paper debt -- the paperback edition of the amateur is online for go on line for the link to the amateur and another scandal with the obama of frustration and we will tell you who the perpetrators and victims are next.in, od good to see you, ed klein.
