one hired guy former president bush. but not good enough. senator, thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: you want a special prosecutor, independent of what the attorney general has done to investigate the leaks. why? >> first of all, it's a special council to be specific. we need an outside investigation , clearly-- the attorney general of the united states is under considerable criticism and scrutiny over in the house, they are talking about citing him for contempt of congress. but more importantly than that, we need someone who is completely independent. we did that in various other occasions which were far more serious than this. the valerie plame investigation and others. when the democrats -- we have letters from then-senator obama

and statements by then senator obama calling for an independent counsel or special investigation so it's clear that this issue is of transcendent importance. the director of national intelligence said, this is the most egregious breach of security and national security that he has seen in his 30 years as -- in the intelligence community. >> greta: it is bipartisan in the sense that there is horror or shock on both sides of the aisle. senator dianne feinstein, democrat, very concerned about the seriousness of these leaks. i mean, let me ask you, though, two people are appointed by attorney general holder. one was the united states -- with the u.s. attorney appointed by president obama and the other is the u.s. attorney from the district of maryland, appointed by then president bush. does the bipartisan nature relieve any of your thoughts? >> they still have to report to the attorney general of the

united states. they are not independent. it requires an independent look to have the credibility that's necessary. this is the most egregious breach of national security shathat i have ever seen. we are talking about ongoing, highest level covert operations, one on cyber warfare and one on drones. this requires the most objective and credible investigation. someone like bob bennett. he has done other investigations. and he is a democrat, as a matter of fact. but we need someone who is credible and someone who is truly independent. >> greta: how about speed, though? we get -- we get into these huge investigations, they go on for years and years. and become almost a shakespearean play developing here in washington, where people are pointing fingers. one of the things we need a swift decision. does going outside also, though, run the risk of being greater

time? or not? >> do you think that if attorney general holder was ultimately in charge of this investigation that we valid any informs between now and november isn't fact is that a special counsel would be constrained in some degrees, which an independent would have much more constrained jurisdiction. and i am confident that we would get the best possible conclusion, a credible one that the american people could say, well, that was independent. and so therefore, we trust it. >> greta: oddly, the small universe of people, at some of these meetings ought to make it swift to find out who is the leaker. there is not a huge universe of people present when the national security information was discussed t. actually tcould be done efficiently and quickly, whoever does it? >> well, i hope so. but the author of the book and

the other publication that clearly indicate that this goes to -- to the administration and in in sm case, the highest levels of the administration. i don't think there is any doubt about that. did really is awful. the anecdote that after the information was disclosed about, the bin laden raid, including seal team 6 and other information, the secretary of defense, probably the most respectedav -- of all cabinet members. as you know, he was appointed under president bush, secretary gates, went to the white house and said to the national security adviser, mr. donalyn, he said, i have a new communication strategy for you. he said, what is it? he said shut the "f" up. that's a very unusual move for a secretary of defense to tell the national security adviser, that's how concerned the

secretary of defense was at that time about the raid conducted on osama bin laden. and now we have additional disclosures of the most covert operations. by the way, our relations with the israelis and other nations has been severely damaged by these revelations. >> greta: two issues. one is whether or not it was leaked for political reasons. and the other is the leaks. and how damaging to our national security. in one of the article, david sanger talks about the cyber-worm which was supposed to infiltrate the iranian nuclear computer system for the power plant and disrupt it -- >> and it did. >> greta: and it did. it did. here's what's interesting. in a tense meeting in the white house situation room, within days of the worm's escape, mr. obama, vice-president joe biden jr. and the director of

the central intelligence agency, leon panetta, considered whether slowing the progress of iran's efforts had been fatally compromised. there is a universe of people in the room there. you would expect some of their aides as well? >> i would think there would be others, including the national security adviser in the room eye would assume. but that's something we need to find out because those are direct quotes, as you know from what actually happened. >> greta: in fact, next paragraph has the quote, president obama, should we shut this thing down? meaning what the president is talking about, about a national security matter is in the public domain, in the new york times? >> all i can say is that every indication leads to the conclusion, or the substantive to the belief that these leaks came from the highest levels, that's all i can assume. i am not i that that is the case. that's why we need the

investigation. but you know, whenever there are leaks in this town. and have you seen this before-- the first question you ask yourself and should be scg asked in the case of leaks -- who benefits? >> greta: or is somebody stupid? there is the stupid factor. did someone go and told somebody else who told somebody else, who doesn't get what national puter and classified means? >> who benefits. but in response to what you just said, in his book, mr. sanger said, several officials said that they wanted to remain anonymous because they would lose their jobs. so i think it's pretty clear here. >> greta: in fact, in the sanger article, it said none would allow his names to be used because the effort remains highly classified and part of it continues to this day. so the source knew it was wrong to be talking about it. >> a highly classified, going on to this day. one of the reasons why this is so egregious is these operations were going on and as far as i know, obviously, they for still going on.

lives have been compromised. national security has been compromised. what has been the result? an estrangement between ourselves and our allirks compromised our meest highly classified operations and we have told the enemy what we are doing and over time, don't they feel then a license to sppd? >> greta: this computer worm that we developed, we developed it with the israelis -- >> that's the public's information. >> greta: according to the public's information. and the israelis who have been threatened by oi iran, ahmadinejad says he wants to wipe israel off the map. i am thinking for israel, maybe they could have developed it acomplon done it and perhaps feel more secure today. but by partnering with us, unless we are the lead partner, of course, by partnering up, this very important program, to this little country and to the world, has now been jeopardized.

>> increases the vulnerability of the israelis because it gives the iranians another reason to -- make the declarations they do about israel. but also, if you are an israeli national security person or the prime minister, what about the next time the americans come to you and say, look, we want to partner in some very important and highly classified information. obviously, they are going to think twice. i know for a fact that they and other allies are enrage. >> greta: but it's more important, israel and iran. i have read many articles, if iran wants to go alone millitarily, they have a huge challenge to do the damage, return and refuel the nuclear sites are 30 feet be-- of concrete above t. so it's really a challenge. so they are -- this worm might be been a way to disrail it or inhibit the process for a number of years to come. so i think -- we don't have that

one, now. >> i think we know for a fact that it did inhibit. we knew there was a virus there, the worm was there. we just didn't know who was doing it, although we certainly had suspicions. but it did delay the iranian progress. there is no doubt about that. that has been out in the media as well. now, what do we do now? >> greta: let me get to the question whether you think it's political. i gave you -- it could be stupid or political. those seem to be the two options, or careless, i should say. what makes you think, if you think this was done deliberately and for political reasons because that's even more egregious than if someone is incompetent -- >> there may be been some people who were stupid. but as mr. sanger points out in his book, he had dozens of sources. they weren't all stupid. they just weren't. by the way, again, i would like to -- point out that the

information is about ongoing operations. it is one thing, as you have read woodward's books and other things that have been conclude. this is about two of our most highly classified, ongoing investigations. >> greta: what should be president obama's response to this? is there any role in president obama speaking out on this? >> i was curious that the president seemed to be more concerned about accusations of where the leaks came from than any concern about the fact that they happened. it's just -- it's almost stupefying that here he is, president of the united states, faced with two massive security breaches and his concern is whether it was leak from the white house or not. his concern should be what the leak was, who leaked it and what are we going to do to stop this kind of thing from happening in the future? by the way, they have gone after low-level operatives for leaks. now they ought to go a little

bit higher. >> greta: if it turns out -- i say this hypothetically, that this is for political reasons, heads should roll? prosecution? >> this is criminal activity. i mean, that's what i get from -- from a whole variety of forces. this isn't just a -- something of policy matter. this is betraying highly -- most highly classified information which is against the law. it's against the law to do that. i think it's -- it has very serious consequences. >> greta: why do you think the attorney general has pushed back in terms of apoing a special counsel to look into this? special investigator? >> i don't know, but the hipockcracy is that then senator biden called for a special counsel in the case of valerie plame. then senator obama called for it at the same time. then senator biden was on talk

shows saying the only way to get an objective investigation is to have a special counsel. it is almost... well, i think -- it has traced of hypocrisy. >> greta: senator feinstein has not joined you in terms of asking for an outside investigation. do you have any personal confusion with her and asked her -- i know this is a very troubling leak to her? >> i think there is no doubt about senator feinstein's concern on this issue. she said in 11 years that she has been on the intelligence committee, she has never seen anything like this. i respect her wanting to wait and see what happens. but i also think that it is pretty obvious that the president and the attorney general don't want a special counsel. >> greta: that's a huge indictment of their motive. >> they have said they don't want one, that it's not necessary? >> greta: but the undercurrent

is that it is a political leak and that they consider their political future or livelihood superior to national security, chiam sure they would deny vigorously. >> i upon sure they might and will. i will give them the benefit of the doubt. except the question has to be asked, why wouldn't you want the most objective, credible investigation to be conducted that would have nothing to do with the investigation since there are allegations that it's members of the administration who were responsible for the leaks? >> greta: correct me if i am wrong, this worm from iran, this is part of a program that predated president obama? it started in the president bush administration? >> that's what is in this book. i don't have -- i don't have that information. but i have no reason to doubt that. >> greta: not to give you any more ammunition, but it was never leaked until june of this year. >> there was the valerie plame affair, independent counsel was

appointed. the issue went all the way to the white house and to scooter libby, as know. people were satisfied with the result. that's why we need the same deal here. >> greta: senator, thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: straight ahead, the united states economy is going back in time. but in this case, retro is not good. alarming new evidence that the net worth of the american families is wiped out to the levels of 20 years ago. why and who is hardest hit? could that be you? that's next. also, g.o.p. senators are not holding back and neither is eric holder. he is swinging back. it was a brawl today on capitol hill. you will see it in minutes. and senator gras gr's is here. a giant day for president bush 41. why is he celebrating? find out from president bush himself. you will hear from him.

>> greta: well, we doubt you need the fed to actual this one, but the fed is. the fed released a new report that the wealth of american families is shrinking. no kidding, right isn't disturbing new report showing the recession wiped out nearly 20 years of wealth. according to the report, median

net worth declined from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. what is behind the plunge? and should we brace ourselves for more? liz mcdonald is here. why the plunge down? i mean, i recognize we have the housing bubble and nasdaq taking such a terrible dip. but tell me, what is it? >> three-quarters is housing. you know, this report feels really bad, right in it feels like it will have a serious gravitational pull on the psychology of the country and the public consciousness. it feels like slam the door and get out the nail gung gun. but i am watching the reporting on this. i am not buying a lot of reporting that is gone on and how negative it is about the net worth of the u.s. households. yes, the middle-income taxpayer's really getting slammed. that's painful. you want to help those

households, but if you are living in the west and are between 35 and 44, those are the people who will be hit because the west got hit very badly in the housing crisis. i feel like the washington, d.c. has misdwhationd is going on for so long, we have gone through not one, not two, but three bubble, blowing up at the same time. the housing bubble started to ploon in the mid-90s, at the same time the dot-com bubble started to blow and then the credit bubble. since then, the u.s. policy has been to basically toss more money -- to keep inflated levels that were really basically not -- would not accessible. we were at inflated levels. we were living beyond our means, through housing. now the idea is to keep consumers spending because consumer spending is so tied to net worth and housing. it is so tied to the stock

portfoliosingly. but again and again, we have seen portfolios inflated by bubbles. so we have misdiagnosed the u.s. economy i would say over a couple of decades,. >> greta: is it almost bifurcated that your net worth is related to your buying power. maybe it's only $77,000, but you can get a house much less than you could in 2007. so it may be that you have the same buying power that you had in 2007, that is provided you don't fall on the other side of the divide, which is that you are underwater on a house. a first-time buyer wouldn't have that experience because they wouldn't come from the hugely indebted house. can you tie it -- aren't there different categories of people? >> i think you are right about that. you know, here's the deal. yes, there are different categories of people. yes, three-quarters of the numbers we are seeing over the net worth comes out every 3 years, by the way, greta. it's already 18 months old. yes, it is tie to the buying

power of u.s. households, tied to their house and their stock portfolios, but both of those categories have picked up over the last 18 months and the survey only talks to 4500 households. it is a sliver of a fraction of 1% of allus households. and the other thing it is pointing out in the survey, if you are going to take it on face value, you can't solve income inequality through housing, that was a mistake in d.c., we have a service economy. we have a thriving service economy in health care, information technology and legal services, all of that. yes, we have the manufacture base. but we still are continuing out of d.c., we are careening in episodic ways to fix prior problems. >> greta: is part of the problem, if your net worth declines, your borrowing power decline it's. >> yes. >> greta: if that declines, you are not getting the loan and you can't spend and rev up the economy to help the economy.

it's like, almost like a domino effect. >> that's exactly right. the d.c. policy has been to make the net worth feel better because spending is tied to net worth and so much of the u.s. economy is about spending. i say, don't do any of that. i say to d.c., do this instead -- talk straight to the american people. no more knee-jerk reactions and auto pilot, thinking let's rev up the spending. basically, you want to have straight talk that this is a marathon, about the debt. no more banana peels thrown underus companies, in terms of regulations and rules and taxation. we're going to bost the services and the jobs picture. that will help spending, not reflating housing and stock portfolioes. but americans are reacting. they are seeing what is going on in the economy, they are not owning car, they are leasing instead of buying and going to

mcdonald's for coffee instead of starbucks and sending their kids to community colleges and then to the blue-chip universities for the other two years to get that on the resume. they are smart. the american people are smart and they are reacting. we have a great, thriving services and manufacturing base, not all about inflating bubbles. >> greta: i have to go. thank you, liz. >> thank you. >> greta: the heat on attorney general eric holder was turned up blistering hot. a short time ago, senator chuck grassley accusing the attorney general of creating a constitutional crisis. the latest from senator grassily himself -- grassley himself. and president obama getting blasted for saying the economy is improving. but not just republicans. who is saying he needs to change his message? i went to a small high school.

with someone who is up to that challenge. >> there is so much factually wrong with the premise that you started your statement with, you know, i just -- it's almost breathtaking in its inaccuracy, but i will leave it at that. this is the the ninth time that i have answered questions before a congressional committee about fast fa. if you want to talk about fast & furious, i am the attorney general that put an end to the misguided tactics that were used in fast & furious. so i don't have any intention of resigning. i heard the -- white house press officer say yesterday that the president has absolute confidence in me. i don't have any reason to believe that that in fact, is not the case. >> greta: does senator chuck grassley agree with senator john cornyn? we asked him. senator, nice to see you, sir. >> always glad to be with you, now, you are the ranking member of the judiciary hearing in the united states senate? >> yes. >> greta: today, you had

attorney general eric holder testify. senator cornyn says he should resign, the attorney general. do you agree with senator cornyn >> if you asked me a few hours ago, i would have said yes. i am open to his so-called negotiation, but i don't like the fact that he is talking about a constitutional crisis because he has created this constitutional crisis. i think it's a situation of where, he is waking up to the fact that there is -- people serious about getting this information one way or the other. about and he should be held in contempt fhe doesn't give us this information because he's taking contemptible action. >> the backup is that the house subpoena documents last october in the investigation to what happened to the border agent who was murdered. now, we are in june. the house says they have not received the documents. the justice department says that, congressman issa is

distorting the facts and they have provided information, other than that information in an ongoing investigation that they don't want to jeopardize. do you have any thought in terms of congressman irks issa and the allegation that he is distorting things? >> let me quantifyt for you why ice's right and holder is wrong. that is, by one count, there is 80,000 documents, pages of documents that we have been titled to. we have only 6,000 under that count. there is another count of 147,000 pages that we think the justice department knows exists. we have only gotten 7,000 there. so by either count, you can quantify that they near contempt of congress by 74,000 pans or 140,000 pages. it seems to me that -- that -- that that is such a small amount that they have given, they are without a doubt, they are

misleading congress and accusing congressman issa of something that she he shouldn't be accused of. let me say in congressman issa's favor, since i started this investigation in january, 2011, and i wasn't getting anywhere with my own inquiries of oversight of the justice department, i went to congressman issa and i said, you know, you can open an investigation into this because have you subpoena power? and everything that is out there, congressman issa deserves credit for because without the subpoena power, i doubt we valid any of this information. there is so much misleading information that comes. you know, justice department says, well, you know, they don't even know about gun walking. the bottom line of it is, we have plenty of email that showed a long time, before they said anything about it, that they knew it existed and they encouraged it. >> greta: all right n. light of that, in light of the fact that you say they are misleading the

united states senate, misleading the house of representatives and by them, i mean the department of yesterday and the attorney general as the head. the subpoena's sitting out there since october and not fulfilled. why in the world, what in last few hours could change your mind that makes you think that's not egregious enough to call for his resignation, like senator cornyn. >> why they are willing to negotiate now is the basis of they are at the foot of the gallows, and they know that they might be -- the trap might be sprung and that would be the house approving of t. if you are asking me why i would not call for resignation right now, i think i ought to keep as much credibility as i can to see what can be negotiated. but i have a very short leash on that. i am not willing to give very much. they have to show within a week or two that they are willing to cough up the documents or i say, go to contempt and at that

point, i would be willing to say, resign because you haven't new yorked in good faith. >> in terms of negotiation, i mean, i think of negotiation as give and take. i give you 10,000 page, i will keep 10,000 pages. but you want to investigate and i assume you want all the page, so what -- what possibly could the justice department and the attorney general do but deliver all the pages that you have subpoenad? i mean, what can, quote, be negotiated? >> well, there are certain accusations against -- that are emails and wire taps that are sealed by the court. they can ask the court to unseal those. >> greta: do you want them to. >> sean. >> oh! i asked that of the attorney general weeks ago. we didn't get an answer. they haven't done anything. >> greta: is that a point of no return for you? if the attorney general doesn't ask to have the documents unsealed or available for a

private viewing by the senate, is that, you know, is the deal off? >> well, you probably know we have gotten clandestinely, but the documents came to congressman issa. we have had a chance to view them. that shows concretely how we have been misled by this justice department. >> greta: why are you so willing to sort of, like, i mean -- this family of agent terry, they have been waiting a year and-a-half for information about their relative who was murdered. they have been waiting. we got information on what happened in peru with the secret service within a matter of weeks. and so, what does it mean? either you are entitle to the documents or are you are not. if you are entitled, you should have them. finish the, you shouldn't have them. >> but the point is, when your question goes back to resignation, i upon not sure i want to negotiate with a new attorney general, after we have been after this. i want to see what we can get down to the bottom right now. but the point is that they have been stonewalling for a year

and-a-half. and it's time and i am glad that congressman issa and presumably speaker boehner are moving ahead with the contempt citation. >> greta: if you are a betting man, will the justice department comply or not by the 20th? what's your guess? i realize it's a guess. >> my guess is they are going to stall all they can until after the election because i think there are things in this document that is going to make this administration look very bad at a time of re-scplkz they want to stall until after the election. >> greta: except congressman issa's only giving them until june 20 for the committee to vote on a contempt citationism and that may bring them to reality to it. i hope to does. we want the information. the only thing i want out of this is somebody's help taapproves this. they should have to get out of government and be held responsible because they led -- their decisions led to the death of terry.

and the secondly, we want to make sure that a stupid program like fast & furious never happens again. >> greta: senator, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> greta: coming up, presidents owamma get -- obama get ace warn from two influential democratic strategist who is say the voters are not buying his economic message. who are the strategists? and what does that mean for november? byron york is here. and george h.w. bush is celebrating. what is the special occasion? the mome is caught on camera. democrat or republican, tea party or independent, you will love this. this is two minutes away.

>> they are. >> greta: what is this report? >> it's pretty bad. they did focus group research in clump bus ohio, and outside of philadelphia, ohio. they gathered people who had -- wowere not overly political. they were independents or they split the ticket. they were half and half between obama and mccain supporters in '08. basically what they found is that president obam's key economic message, which is we inherited a tential mess but we have made a lot of progress and created 4 million jobs and people things are getting better, people hate hated it -- >> greta: hated or didn't believe it. >> they were irritated. people are experts in their own economic condition and they weren't seeing that progress in their own lives and they were telling carville and greenberg that over and over again. so every time the president said that, they said, i don't see this.

my friends don't see t. we don't see it. we are struggling. even when the president cited progress in saving the auto industry, they said, that's great for auto workers, but i don't see that in my life. so the consultants conclude that the president should stop talking about having made progress and talk more about the future. >> greta: all right. why is this report in the public domain? it seeps with these two names -- and maybe it's commissioned by somebody, but it seeps that this is a report that is so damning to the corks 'bama campaign and these are strong democrats. i realize james carville is a clinton democrat. but why is thisn out in the public? >> greenberg was also a clinton democrat. they have done a number of reports in the past, prior to the 2010 election and 2008, it is not unusual -- >> greta: they are not trying to sabotage the president. >> this is not the first time they have done this. on the other hand, they -- not in the campaign. they are clearly sending a message. what they are saying is there is

a conventional wisdom in washington that says the president has to run on his economic record. they say, don't do that. it is not working. they say that obama faces a quote, impossible head wind if he runs on that record. instead, he has to talk about hahe will do for the middle class in the future. >> greta: the problem with the future, the first thick i think, what did the do in the last 3 1/2 years and if that's a good idea, why noty didn't you do it? and heville to split hairs and that's too much in the weeds. >> you make an entirely reasonable point. the second part of the argument is that you have to hit mitt romney really hard. already in ohio, the obama campaign and the super pacs have hit romney hard on his business record and bain. they have found the same people who didn't respond well to the obama argument also thought that mitt romney was rich, out of touch and in bed with wall street and all of those bad

things. if you read between the lines of this report, it's keep hitting romney hard, talk about the future and maybe they will choose you, president obama, as the lesser of two verks -- two evils, they actually used that phrase. >> greta: the lesser of two evils. >> but it has to be somebody. >> greta: not the news that the president wants to hear. but we'll find outer what happens. >> thank you. >> greta: straight ahead, a california couple wakes up to find their car stolen. but the car thieves better watch out. the couple's fighting back in a very unusual way. and goblins and hobits and dragons -- not a scene from "lord of the rings," the is "jurr-rustic park." for three hours a week, i'm a coach.
