7:01 pm
>> you administer the federal records act. >> yes, i do. >> if they didn't follow it, can we safely assume that they broke the law? >> they did not follow the law. lou: white house attorney jennifer o'connor in charge of compiling information for that scandal. she worked with the internal revenue service from a until november of last year. but she claims that she learned of the missing lois lerner e-mails only last week. >> when did you first learn that there were e-mails missing? >> i learned that her e-mails are missing as a result of a computer crash the week before last. >> so you were in charge from the month of may until november of compiling information from congress and you never heard
7:02 pm
before that that there was any missing documentation of e-mails? lou: dear liza along with trey gowdy and jason chaffetz and others on the committee, finally expressing the outrage be outraged that i have been calling for the past few days. >> when this irs scandal unfolded almost a year ago, he said that he would fully cooperate in this administration but they haven't done a darn thing to help us get to the truth of what has really happened. lou: we will take up the obama scandal at two of the leading strategists, ed rollins and jason zimmerman joins us in
7:03 pm
moments. and also the first american boots are now back on the ground in iraq despite the president's declaration that our troops wouldn't be returning to the fight, 90 of our military advisers have returned to the region, secretary of state john kerry today admitting the advance copy entire obama administration by surprise. >> someone could've found out that litters have been betrayed and have caved in and that would have been terrific. but we don't have people embedded in those units. and so obviously no one knew that. so i think everyone in iraq with surprise and people were surprised everywhere. lou: military analyst in our house tonight.
7:04 pm
and two of the longest serving leaders could be headed for defeat. we will have the latest update for you. and hillary clinton could enter campaign before it really begins. ed klein is playing out here tonight. and congress is also investigating the crisis along our southern border with mexico and the failure to respond to the the flood of unaccompanied children over the southern border. secretary jay johnson trying to defend the administration's failures to respond to the influx of illegal immigrant children. a crisis that critics say is a crisis in the making. he told lawmakers that he plans
7:05 pm
to add in response to the crisis that has brought 60,000 children to our borders, 100,000 and on top of that heading to the 20,000 border patrol agencies and he proposes at 150 more agencies. that's solving the crisis. and the secretary also tried to claim that what is driving this water crisis. >> i am convinced that the principal reason these kids from everything i have heard and seen and from my own conversations with these kids, the principal reason they are leaving is the pushback vector on the countries that they are leaving. the conditions in honduras, for example, are horrible. lou: republicans push back. >> i would say that the central americas have had that economies
7:06 pm
and violence in both of these things are as bad as they have ever been. i think this humanitarian crisis can be laid directly at the feet of dozen obama as a result of alstyne 2012. lou: so far this year, most of them originating in central america and illegal immigrants from el salvador and guatemala, being released into u.s. and it is relatively few based on typical averages and the administration who understands that. house and senate negotiators tonight trying to settle on a
7:07 pm
veteran affairs department in the wake of massive scandal that worsens by the day. the latest development is a report by senator tom coburn finds more than a thousand veterans may have died over the course of the past decade as a result of mismanagement. saying that it has left taxpayers on the hook for nearly a billion dollars in malpractice settlements. a house hearing last night a heated exchange when one va administrator tried to defend his department. >> i think it's a good system. >> it's not a good system. how can you say that. >> a new whistleblower in phoenix has come forward.
7:08 pm
last night to say allegations that veteran side with while waiting for care there is likely incorrect. saying the number is almost certainly much higher. the whistleblower is a scheduling quirk saying that in at least seven cases someone above her altered the records to make it appear that they were still alive and americans overwhelmingly believe that it was no accident that the e-mails of lois lerner were lost. more than three quarters, excuse me, believe that the missing irs e-mails were deliberately destroyed, just 12% say it was accidental. from one the scandals, i'm joined now by former reagan political director ed rollins
7:09 pm
and robertson are men, democratic strategist. the scandals are unending. and it is on keys inconceivablet they could have no backup and e-mails went missing. do you agree? >> i find it frustrating in the weights being approached in congress. we have plain investigation plane investigation about how she was outed, e-mails were to oregon. >> the station had to be replaced because the white house release his name. is that not a quick oakwell in that instance? >> my point is that e-mails are often times destroyed in computer crashes.
7:10 pm
>> they just seem this way? you'll find it extraordinary that within 10 days of investigation that it was recycled to the hard drives and the e-mails went missing? >> let's focus on the facts. >> those are facts. very specific facts, if you will. >> let's remember that there's no one in the treasury department that has ever been linked with a disgrace. >> it was not an idea. it was a reality. >> there was not a single liberal organization for tax exempt status.
7:11 pm
>> i'm not sure how many are there. are you saying that there was no targeting? >> what i'm saying is that the targeting was reprehensible and wrong. lou: let's get back to the bottom of this as well. >> i feel like a speed bag getting pounded here are. the facts are the person who's the head of the commissioners found in contempt of the congress of the united states. this is about present history. the irs, everyone puts their documents and it. and they have had a cover-up, this has been a political process and now they are doing everything they can to destroy the evidence and it's very obvious and everyone in america realizes this. >> this is done by the republican house members. you talk about bipartisanship.
7:12 pm
>> every time they do something, it is bipartisan and this is a violation of the law. >> may i remind you that in the case of benghazi, the justice to are meant spying on journalists, the irs, the list goes on and on and the fact that this administration will not speak honestly, name one instance in which they have provided an answer. >> if you look at this
7:13 pm
investigation, i mean -- lou: i assume that you would answer my question. you wouldn't just ignore me. >> i would not ignore you. >> i worked in the white house. all these things are happening below the white house, and i know that this president likes to go play golf. at the end of the day this administration is running amok and someone better settle in. after the president said this is the thing about the va, week after week, americans dying. every taxpayer has to worry about if there will be documents disclosed for political purposes. the whole government is not functioning well and you're trying to tell me that there's no guidance? i worked in the white house.
7:14 pm
>> i'm saying that they are working with congress to get the facts out. it's a bipartisan disgrace what is happening and we have to get it this going. this has been going on for decades. >> you're not suggesting president obama is responsible for anything more in the past five years? because i think that would be unfair. >> i think that's what is happening when we look at what is happening with the accusations being made in the irs story. >> we don't all agree on much of anything. targeting is wrong. >> it is illegal and disgraceful. lou: someone should be held accountable. >> i agree with you.
7:15 pm
lou: thank you, gentlemen. someone in the white house might want to pay a little bit closer attention on a day when all of the white house scandals are playing out on capitol hill, the president hobnobbing plasters golf team, fred couples, phil nuckolls and amongst them. they often like to point out that president obama has played many rounds of golf. with what are the rules and played about seven times that number, woodrow wilson. we have seen is challenged before. we are coming right back. john kerry on the scene in iraq as sunni forces continue. what is being done to keep iraq

7:21 pm
7:22 pm
>> most americans understand and the president's numbers will continue to follow we take any casualties over in iraq and there's always the possibility that we will. lou: is this a reversible sweep across western iraq? >> i think the iraqi army, once they are reconstituted into their gear on and guns together, they will be able to confront them. but it will be a pretty formidable enemy and i think that they will be more concerned about making sure they have the defenses inside baghdad. we will start seeing them respond with more suicide attacks and bombings here and there. and i think isis, the majority of which maybe open a year from now and maybe on back.
