darrell issa's staff had no reply to that question. darrell issa did not accept our invitation to appear on this program tonight. instead he appeared on fox news where he was fawned over and was able to bask in the ignorance of another fox news anchor. greta van susteren was the one tonight. she makes much of the fact that she was a lawyer, but she obviously has no comprehension of the law in the case that darrell issa is pursuing, which he calls a scandal and fox news calls a scandal. and the only way you can call it a scandal is if you have never read the law on 501c-4 organizations. the investigation that darrell issa says he's pursuing is how the irs has administered the law and regulations on 51c-4 regulation that's what this is all about. that is the subject of darrell issa's investigation. nothing more, nothing less. and you would think that congressman issa would have read at some point the very simple law on 501c-4 organizations. you would think someone at fox news would have done that. but they haven't. they won't. they never

>> that's darrell issa. joy reid gets tonight's last word. chris hayes is up next. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. news tonight that president obama spent an hour on the phone this afternoon with the russian president vladimir putin. during which obama told putin that russia's actions are a violation of ukraine sovereignty. this phone call comes as the crisis in ukraine today significantly intensified when the crimean parliament voted to hold a referendum on joining russia and leaving ukraine this morning. that decision now creates a new looming deadline just a little more than a week away and prompted strong condemnation from president obama and european leaders. while the interim ukrainian government for its part began the process to dissolve the same crimean parliament that voted for the referendum. the russian argument to justify that nation's actions has been people in crimea want russia's help and protection. i mean, just look at the leader of the crimean parliament. or the hundreds of people holding pro-russia protests

that's sort of darrell issa's game here.t's very difficult to believe that there's not a political element to this. you know, if issa were to have more evidence regarding the irs or some sort of smoking gun that connected to the white house that we haven't seen yet, that would be one thing. he hasn't come one. this now-- come up with this. i think he's succeeded in keeping this in the news. whatever it was that he accomplished today in terms of press coverage and whatnot will be seen in a certain light and will help conservatives sort of believe more in their narrative that there is a cover-up here, that this was an act of political retribution. let's remember the actual story is not that simple. it's much more complicated. the irs -- what this really is is the sale of the irs mismanaging a flood of new applications from money groups after the citizens united ruling. and you know, their inability to manage that properly. so they started taking shortcuts like targeting tea party groups and targeting groups that they occupy. t

this photo of republican congressman darrell issa last week in his capacity as chairman of the housesight committee, darrell issa drawing his fingers across his neck giving the old shut it down, cut it off sign to the audio guy apparently during an official committee hearing. he made that gesture. he did that. he drew his fingers across his throat that way in order to tell the audio guy to cut off the microphone of the top democrat on the committee who you can see on the left side of this picture. he said to cut him off while he was speaking. that happened at the end of chairman issa's 11 gazillionth hearing into the irs controversy which started off looking like a scandal when it looked like only conservative group, only tea party groups had been singled out by the irs for special scrutiny. that sort of fell apart as a scandal everywhere except on fox news and in darrell issa's mind when it turned out the irs had not only targeted conservative groups, they targeted liberal groups as well. but still, congressman issa is still scandalized and convening hearings on the matter. that's w

darrell issa asked her a bunch of questions.oint, am i correct, correct me if i'm wrong, did the ranking member get to say anything? >> not only did he not get to speak, but once he was asked for permission under house rule 11 to get his five minutes, as every member of the committee is entitled to, the chairman, mr. issa, initially refused and then did yield him the microphone and allowed him to begin his comment or question and because he didn't like what he was saying, stood over him and turned the mike off, silencing his ability to continue his inquiry, and in fact, what the ranking member was trying to do was to bring forward the fact that lois lerner's attorney had offered to serve as a proffer which would allow some of that testimony to be entered into the public record because ultimately what this committee's jurisdiction that we've been undertaking. >> finally, to your knowledge, are the chairman and ranking member talking now? have they spoken? >> i don't know whether they've spoken or not, but let me be absolutely cle

darrell issa, this is the last in a long list of ways in which darrell issa has demonstrated disrespect for the ranking member and for minority rights on that committee. and when i watched it to too, not only was i offended for mr. cummings, but i was offended for the house, for the fact that we have to be able to govern ourselves with a set of rules that we all follow. and the complaint that we lodged on the floor today was saying that, in fact, those rules were not followed. and in order to maintain the respect of the institution, that's the reason that we have to deal in the leadership needs to deal effectively with mr. issa. >> when you said there was a lack of dignity given to the minority, did you mean capital m or lower case m? do you mean racially or just the members of the democratic party in house? >> no, i mean the members of the democratic party. we set out with a set of rules all of us understand as house members with respect to conduct of these committees. chairman issa took to the bench. he had his piece, and then he refused to acknowledge the minority that is against the

and this is how darrell issa works. guy has spent his three years as chair of the oversight committee swinging for the fences and pretty much missing the ball every time. he continues to insist the obama administration misled the american people in denying a connection between the attack on the american consulate in benghazi and al qaeda terrorists. even after an exhaustive "new york times" investigation sound no such connection and senate intelligence committee report found no al qaeda members planned or led the assault. while republicans on the house armed services committee found there was no stand-down order issues to u.s. military personnel who sought to join the fight in benghazi, issa said last month he has suspicions it was hillary clinton, herself, that issued such a stand-down order. then there's fast and furious. another one of those supposed obama administration scandals that issa won't let die. issa insisted attorney general eric holder owned fast and furious, led the charge to get holder cited for contempt

darrell issa today said elijah cummings should apologize to him. >> that's darrell issa.p next. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. news tonight that president obama spent an hour on the phone this afternoon with the russian president vladimir putin. during which obama told putin that russia's actions are a violation of ukraine sovereignty. this phone call comes as the crisis in ukraine today significantly intensified when the crimean parliament voted to hold a referendum on joining russia and leaving ukraine this morning. that decision now creates a new looming deadline just a little more than a week away and prompted strong condemnation from president obama and european leaders. while the interim ukrainian government for its part began the process to dissolve the same crimean parliament that voted

but what are years to darrell issa?ll, his investigation into benghazi has dragged on for some 17 months. it's led nowhere and yet it is still happening. yesterday 17 democrats on the house oversight committee sent a letter to congressman issa urging him to drop the issue. "we believe it is time to end these seemingly endless and unsubstantiated political attacks," his colleagues wrote. this letter, this plea for sanity, was sent around the same time that a letter from the pentagon to democratic congressman adam smith was made public, a letter which confirmed that the department of defense has spent thousands of man-hours and millions of taxpayer dollars responding to the benghazi investigations. will it be enough to end darrell issa''s quest? joining me now to help determine an answer to that question is a democratic representative from washington's ninth district and ranking member of the house armed services committee, congressman smith, thanks for joining me and talking about a perplexing situation on capitol hill.

darrell issa today said elijah cummings should apologize to him. >> that's darrell issa.t word. chris hayes is up next. >>> jamboree of the wild. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this. do you remember the bar scene in "star wars" with all the wild-eyed creatures from every part of the solar system? today in washington the whole tapestry of weirdness was reenacted at the annual convention of cpac. conservative doesn't quite capture this out of this world jamboree. at cpac, it's the far-out sharing space with the further out, coming up with the usual

i'm speaking of course of darrell issa. what was your reaction to it? >> well, i was stunned. not so stunned by who did it because darrell issa -- nothing surprises me anymore with his conduct. but in the last couple of weeks in which we have been on both sid sides of the aisle, standing up for the rights of the oppressed, trying to make sure that in venezuela, that dictators there aren't shutting down the opposition, the same thing in the ukraine. at the same time, you have a chairman of the government oversight committee literally electronically cutting off the mike of the opposition to prevent him from having any say or participation in the hearing that was focused on an investigation that has been resolved. and that they are purely and obviously through the cutting off of elijah cummings' mike purely proving that what they're doing is trying to politicize the issue. it is a settled matter. president obama has cop demmnde. the director of the irs lost his job over it. lois lerner lost her job. heads rolled as they should have. but unfortunately the republicans on that commi

darrell issa says she is taking the fifth and we are done. elijah cummings is continuing. >> the very first line ... let's listen to darrell issa. >> we had a hearing today in the committee in which we asked miss learner whose lawyer indicated under certain conditions she would testify. she chos testify. after an exhaustive 7 questions i determined that she was not under any circumstances going to testify. and pursuant to an already completed hearing other than her testimony, i adjourned. at this point we'll continue our investigation into the irs targeting of conservative groups. without the testimony of miss lerner. are there any questions? there were no -- he was not directing questions for the witness. and th the committee had already adjourned. pursuant to the committee we recessed only to determine whether or not we could get her to give testimony. once it was determined she would not give testimony there was no question before us. mr. cummings did not raise a point of privilege or point of order, and in fact i did recognized him when h

i just want to read, stan a reaction from darrell issa's spokesman about this.en statement where they say, chairman issa specifically informed ms. lerner of the committee's determination that she had waived her fifth amendment right not to answer her questions. he then offered her fair warning that a refusal to answer could lead to a contempt finding which ultimately must be made by the full house of representatives. what's your reaction to that statement, stan? the case is made clear, many he's got to overrule her objection in an explicit way and give her an opportunity to comply or not. >> and the court looks for all of that specifically in the record of the hearing. >> the congressional record in enforcing these contempts is abysmal. 80% of them are acquitted, dismissed or reversed on appeal because of just such infirmities. that's the record of these cases in the federal district courts. >> and i just want to show one thing before we go, which is what issa himself said after that hearing about contempt and is he actually going for contempt in this. let's lis

>> i think the fact that darrell issa apologized to elijah cummings shows the character of darrell issahe, obviously, upset comings, which i think was faux jaut rage, but nevertheless, wanted to get it by him. what we're not talking about is the fact lois lerner took the fifth amendment, fifth amendment is designed to keep people from self incriminating so lois lerner believes she committed a crime, but no one is asking what is the crime lois lerner committed? instead, we're focused on the fact that darrell issa, who had every right as chairman to adjourn the meeting. he decided not to give his opening statement and decided to give his opening statement out of order. there are rules in the committee. elijah cummings has been there long enough to understand the rules of the committee. he broke the rules. i thought chairman aissa went ot of his way. he didn't want to answer, he wanted to pontificate and is now using this as a way to distract from the real issue, which is what is lois lerner covering up and what crime did she commit? >> let me correct one thing, first, for tyler. invoking

darrell issa says he's looking into that possibility. should she be held in contempt? course not. she's invoked her constitutionally privileged -- protection, the fifth amendment. the fifth amendment was one of the most important amendments enshrined in the bill of rights. a lot of the founders wouldn't support it without the bill of rights and some cited the fifth amendment among the most important, because they had lived through star chambers under the british, saw people entrapped, and they wanted to protect against it. it's a very important privilege. it does not imply criminality or illegal behavior of any kind, and they want to strip her unilaterally of her fifth amendment protection. i believe the court cases going all the way back to the mccarthy era are very clear that she's entitled to that protection. now, elijah cummings and the democrats wanted to be heard on the subject yesterday. and instead, the republicans were so afraid of a dissenting point of view that they took away our first amendment while stripping her of the fifth. if i were a tea party republi

joining mess live now today, columnist darrell delamay. thank you for joining.ll up the screen again with the modest or moderate number there? so, darrell, let's get some insight into what those cities or districts or regions have in common there. >> that's what i would call the rest of the country. the ones that were hard hit were new york and philadelphia where obviously you had severe winter storms, but you had them in boston. minneapolis had record cold. cleveland also, and we saw that major ice storm all by cripple atlanta. is it that these cities were doing a little better economically and didn't see the hit? because they certainly fell into the winter storm -- you know, the brurcht brunt of it. >> the beauty of this beige report is based on contacts with the local regional fed banks have with local businesses. in fact, in many of these areas even though manufacturing and auto sales and so forth were depressed by the weather, many other things like software sales and telecoms help and so forth continued to grow. i think the whole point of the beige book an

committee chair darrell issa says contempt charges could come as early as next week. some democrats are crying foul, with ranking member elijah cummings calling the house's investigation into the targeting of tea party groups one-sided and unamerican. >> i am a member of the congress of the united states of america. i am tired of this. we have members over here each who represent 700,000 people. you cannot just have a one-sided investigation. it is absolutely something wrong with that and there is absolutely unamerican. >> joining the panel this week, "wall street journal" columnist and deputy editor dan henninger, washington capitol hill kim strassel and james freeman. as i mentioned earlier, lois lerner refuses to answer questions from congress but is talking to the justice department. what is with that? >> the issue is what part of the justice department is she talking to? an issue like this would normally be handled by the public integrity section of the department of justice. she is not talking to them. she is talking to the civil rights division, which is run by

tonight's lead, darrell issa's witch hunt. this republican congressman has repeatedly vilified the president. persecuted the attorney general. and turned his committee into a kangaroo court. and we saw it again today. chairman issa hauled a former official back before his committee even though he knew she'd plead the fifth and refuse to testify. he grilled her repeatedly all for show, all for the benefit of the tv cameras. then issa bankruabruptly ended hearing without allowing a single democratic lawmaker to ask even one question. the democrats ranking member congressman elijah cummings was not having it. >> therefore, we stand adjourned. >> chairman, chairman, i have a statement. i have a procedural question, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i have a procedural question. mr. chairman, you cannot run a committee like this. you just cannot do this. this is -- we're better than that as a country. we're better than that as a committee. i have asked for a few minutes to ask a procedural -- now you're turning me off. i don't care. the

he had something to say about that, well, in front of darrell issa and then talked about it -- darrella talked about it last night with megyn kelly. >> i broke no rules and he broke the decor rum of the house. but i might mention that several years ago henry waxman pounded a gavel and said he would have me removed because he was pointing out that i was breaking the rules. i didn't say he was somehow anti-arab american. the accusation that i was somehow antiafrican-american, that kind of accusation is beneath response. if i had to do it again, i probably would have sat there for a very long time, let him say a lot of. >> impressive for him to get right in there. the congressman is facing a ton of heat right in his face with claims that it was racist when he cut elijah cummings off. he said i've been in this situation before. i didn't claim racism. i didn't say it was anti-arab. i didn't say it was anti this. when he alluded to what was happening, he was talking about the waxman-issa exchange. he said i didn't take it to the point of racism. take a listen. >> mr. chairman, i must insist

rich: chairman darrell issa says the investigation will continue.e federal judge may tell her to do so. john boehner says he suspects the house may vote her in contempt of congress if she doesn't eventually testified but even if they do do that there is reference to the investigation. nine months in the making, she could be working out some type of agreement with the the committee to give her in unity but this is ongoing for so long they have yet to reach such an agreement. we go around in circles and i don't think we will hear from her soon. stuart: curious about stock. tweet as using hash tag asks charles payne, sand ridge energy, you talk about it because you wanted to know what is going on. charles: another thing. i own this in my retirement account. the stock is up recently but has been a dog. management bluet. they have real serious issues with management. stock starting to come on now. i love what they're doing. is a thriller but they used to do natural gas and focus on oil, three insiders with a million shares, that is always a plus. i would

the head of the congressional black caucus is calling for house speaker john boehner to remove darrelcommittee. this is to do with drama that started 24 hours ago at the oversight economy. issa had a confrontation with cummings, a member of the meeting. it continued overnight to today to what just happened on the house floor. let's bring in joe johns from washington now. bring us up to speed on recent developments. >> this was marcia fudge of ohio with the congressional black caucus. it may be bigger than that. she offered what's called a privileged resolution on the house floor alleging that the chairman of the house oversight and reform committee darrel issa acted inappropriately trying to turn off the microphones and trying to adjourn the meeting while congressman alijah cummings of maryland was raising objections to the way the committee was proceeding. marcia fudge essentially read this resolution. it doesn't have to be enacted immediately. bottom line, it's not likely to do far. the house of representatives as you know sort of operates as a place that is generated by force. repu

. >> so really, darrell issa killing a mike at a committee meeting is the same as killing people and -- >> i'm curious what the steps the administration is taking on venezuela are because that is a story that is actually unfortunately put on the back pages of the newspaper instead of the front. i do think yesterday, however, yesterday's hearing was very important about lois lerner and the irs. americans deserve to know before. it's important to have a hearing, but because of what happened and losing control for a moment or whatever it was. whatever darrell issa decided to do, what have we talked about all day long instead of lois lerner pleading the fifth, talked about this controversy between issa and cummings which was absolutely unforced error. >> go ahead. i'm a little confused on something because the oliver stone praising venezuela and sean penn, hailing that government and all of a sudden the left is using it against the right. i don't think they are on the same page. >> you're doing what i usually do, what about your man darrell issa? >> here's the subject with that. darrell

i'm sure number 11 and 12 would be in darrell issa's committee. >> i thought where are we going with this? >> this is kind of an interesting story because a little kerfuffle happened on capitol hill. >> you don't hear that enough. >> i just had a kerfuffle with phil griffin. >> he had a kerfuffle with you about the show yesterday. >> you should be careful with that word. >>> yesterday, many americans were given a fresh reminder why they are fed up with washington politics. during yet another hearing, on the irs targeting of conservative and tea party groups, they are still having hearings about this? can you imagine? chairman of the house oversight committee darrell issa grilled lois lerner for 11 straight minutes. >> she is the one who -- >> she is still back there getting grilled. >> she wasn't fired by obama like chris christie. >> that is the allegation now. >> for each question asked, lerner pleaded the fifth. refusing to unraveled. >> i have no expectation that miss lerner will cooperate with this committee and therefore i move to adjourn. >
