what bothers me about the irs corruption is not just lois lerner. she is a political hack appointee by obama. there will no who isle blowers. no whistle-blowers. we now know that in the irs people are still using their own gmail account. your data could be on somebody's gmail account. this is hillary clinton at the irs, hundreds, maybe thousands of people, sloppy with your data and mine and the american people's. we know they shared some conservative donor lists with opposition groups in order to attack them and bother them. and threaten them. that is a real threat. the fact that had -- i'd be much happier if lois lerner said we're going to do this and somebody said, i'm calling the "new york times." butow quite right that the irs culture is such and much of the government's culture, is that they're friends of government. not friends of the people. they sea themselves as loyal to the state rather than the nation and they serve the interests of the state which is bigger government. >> host: now, i sometimes get the sense that you would like to change

another e-mail shows that as far back as every 2013 lois lerner new that the targeting of conservative groups was going to raise congressional questions. saying that they seem to not be able to understand the difference in a politically motivated manner, and frontline staff people using less than stellar judgment. i'm willing to take the blame for not having provided sufficient direction initially. lois lerner has taken no blame and has avoided any real punishment the obama justice department refusing to bring charges against her for her refusal to testify before congress. we are coming right back, so stay with us. >> local authorities, the mayor and the police keep doing exactly everything right in the south carolina shooting of a non-armed lack man. but that has not stopped protests for a single minute. david clark is here with us next. and violent clashes in panama between castro supporters, just ahead of a meeting between president obama and lou: breaking news, the south carolina law enforcement division releasing the police dash camera video taken before the fatal shooting of a wa
