four of the five democratic members are also ranking members of other committees. clearly the democrats looking for more leaders in their party on the house side. elijah cummings is the ranking member of the benghazi committee. tell us about him and his background. >> ranking member of the benghazi committee, as you note. he's the ranking member of the house oversight committee and he's been there for a while. he's there right now and he was also previously there when darrell issa was the chairman of the oversight committee. he's had a long experience being the minority democrat on a committee that is going after and probing the obama administration. he has had to come to its defense in many times in the past. in doing so he has had to have a stiff back, a stiff upper lip. and he's been somewhat of a fighter. there's actually a fair amount of speculation he might end up running for the senate in maryland. he has yet to announce. he says he's not going to make any firm commitments on that until after this hearing with secretary clinton. recent polling shows that if h

committee's efforts. sheila even as the democrats call for the benghazi committee to be disbanded they are seeing some political advantage to it. they believe that the sheer length of yesterday's 11 hour hearing and the tone of the questioning backfired against republicans. hillary clinton's presidential campaign staff says that in the hour after the hearing yesterday, donations spiked at between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. eastern time right as things wrapped up. and they are pointing out that half of the contributors were afirst time donors, giving under $250, which means the campaign has a brand new list of supporters names that he can go to in the future. sheila. >> libby casey, thank you. >>> the race to democratic presidential nominees are down to three candidates. lincoln chaffee had been polling at lest than 1%. hi exit leaves hillary clinton, bernie sanders and martin o'malley in the race. cutting budgets, to prepare for new hampshire primary, 40% cut to the payroll, shrinking the miami headquarters in half, and other expenses will be cut by 45%. donors have complained about big spending on the campaign w

did in a controversial decision, they did appoint democrats to sit on the committee. and those democrats have long suspected that the reason this thing is stretching out so long, this benghazi committee is stretching to a longer investigation than watergate, longer investigation than the jfk assassination, longer investigation than the 9/11 attack, the reason the democrats have suspected it has stretched on so long, they said, is because they think the republicans are trying to get their benghazi supposed investigation as close as possible in time to the 2016 presidential election because they want to use it as a way to hurt the likely democratic presidential nominee hillary rodham clinton. democrats on the committee have suspected and have outwardly alleged basically from the very beginning that benghazi committee was not about doing a real and substantive investigation, it was about trying to hurt hillary clinton and, you know, fund-raising on the issue and making partisan politics out of the issue. democrats on the committee, like elijah cummings and adam smith, t

on what authority are the republicans refusing to provide democrat members of the committee a copy of the videos? and we know that republicans actually have no authority to do that. with the chairman's own subpoena, the democrats are entitled to a copy which is explicit in his subpoena. another question we must ask of our colleagues is, last night at the rules committee representative marsha blackburn said, and i quote is to bring all the work under one panel. now, we know that energy and commerce has a hearing set -- scheduled for tomorrow, according to one of the members. and what we need to know is will chairman chaffetz be permitted to continue his investigation of planned arenthood. if the select committee is in existence and how will that bring the work under one panel if he's allowed to continue his own investigation if energy and commerce are allowed to bring theirs? i'd like to ensure that the chairman plans to immediately provide a copy of these videos to democrats as required by his own subpoena so that all members of the committee have equal access. and i also need to know

there's turmoil in the democratic committee as some are speaking out against their leader. this time they are not all on background. some say on the record that chairperson debbie scholz is not being honest about the process and said maybe it is time for a new chair. will this fallout lead to the following fallout, either more debates or the ouster of her as chair? john: i don't think in either case it will. the former mayor of minneapolis called yesterday and dream to debbie scholz out to me and suggested she might be ready to call for her resignation because he watched her lying about another vice chair. the problem is there is not an outcry among the voters for more debates. the only people looking to force her hand would be president obama or hillary clinton. the on a person who can get her out of that job as president obama. mark: the way it is going to matter to a wider audience is hillary clinton needs -- the dnc is a strong test hillary continues a strong dnc for -- hillary clinton needs a strong dnc. john: this thing has provoked people to come out and say what a l

committee. the democratic party committee can go after jeb bush for his use of a private e-mail server as governorf florida and his use of it for official business. that is the work of the parties. i would no more advocate the democrats create a taxpayer-funded committee to look into jeb bush then i think the republicans are justified in doing the same with secretary clinton. >> congressman, i should note that we are recording this on a friday afternoon for our viewers. as of right now, house republicans are working on a concerted effort to recruit ways and means chairman paul ryan to run for the speaker spot. do you think democrats can find a way to work with paul ryan at least better than they did with speaker boehner? >> i certainly think we can find ways to work with paul ryan. i like paul very much. i think he is a bright guy. he is a very personal guy. i don't find him to be the kind of striking ideologue that you find that characterizes the tea party or freedom caucus. he is absolutely someone that democrats can work with. that may be the most serious indictment against him. i think speaker

whereas the select committee excluded the democrat members from interviews of witnesses that provided information the investigation. whereas information obtained by committee has been selectively and inaccurately leaked to influence the standing of a candidate for public office. whereas such actions represent abuse of power that demonstrates the partisan nature select committee. whereas the select committee has $4.5 million in taxpayers funds to date to its partisan efforts. whereas this amount does not theude the cost of independent accountability review board, the hearings and reports by nine congressional committee, the time, money, and resources consumed by federal agencies to comply with select or theee requests opportunity cost of not spending this money elsewhere such as ouroving the security for diplomatic officers aboard. whereas it is an outrage that more than $4.5 million in taxpayer funds have been used by the republicans in the house of representatives not to run the interfere but to inappropriately with an election for president of the united states. whereas the use of t

, it was clear what the purpose of the committee was and the democrats should take no part in it, they should refuse to appoint anyone to that committee. nancy pelosi decided to appoint members such as yourself. was that a mistake? >> i was the first to say that i thought democrats should not participate in the select committee because i feared this is where we would go. our leadership debated it and frankly even though that was my position, it was a close call. had we not participated, the committee would have even less oversight by the other -- the minority party, we would have less voice when they were calling in witnesses and abusing them, so it was a tough call and i can't say that it was the wrong call. but certainly the fears that i expressed at the very beginning have only materialized, and that is this has not been about what took place in that tragic night when we lost four americans, this has been as representative mccarthy said this is the way they have decided to fight and win in the elections by tearing down the likely democratic nominee. >> is there a

yet, republican members of this select committee remain silent. on monday the democratsing none of 54 witnesses the committee interviewed substantiated these wild claims. secretary clinton did not order the military to step down, nor did she approve or deny additional security. i ask our report be entered into the official hearing today, chairman? >> without objection. >> what is so telling is that we issued virtually the same report. a year ago. same report. when we first joined the select committee i asked my staff to put together a complete report and database setting forth the questions that have been asked about the attacks and all of the answers that were provided in the eight previous investigations. i ask that this report also be included in the report, mr. chairman. >> without objection. >> the problem is that rather than accepting these facts, republicans continue to spin new conspiracy theories that are just as outlandish and inaccurate. for example, the chairman recently tried to argue that sidney blumenthal was secretary clinton's primary adviser in libya. t

i'm joined now by two members of the committee, republican mike pompeo of kansas, republican and democratm schiff. congressman pompeo, this has been a tough ten days for the credibility of your committee thanks to the mccarthy statements and hanna statements. do you feel as if the committee's credibility is under investigation? >> chuck, this isn't about the committee, this is about the american people. we've been working since may of 2014 to get them the answers. there are four americans that were killed. our first ambassador murdered since 1979. we're going to -- this week we'll speak with former secretary clinton, we've conducted dozens and dozens of interviews. we will ask her the same kind of fact-centric questions we've asked other witnesses. we have an obligation to hold folks accountable and make sure we reduce the risk that something like this could ever possibly happen again. >> one of the questions i have is what's taking so long? i say this because the benghazi committee is longer than watergate, longer than iran-contra, other events. i think we have a whole thing on screen he

and i'll also talk to one of the republicans on the benghazi committee, as well as one of the few democratsthe house who voted in favor of starting the benghazi committee in the first place. his senate campaign is now calling that decision a circus. we'll get into that. >>> but we start with the big news of the day, biden's announcement. today ends 82 days of speculation about his presidential ambitions. in fact, here's a timeline of the twists and turns. august 1, maureen publishes a column suggesting biden might run because of his son beau's dying wish. three weeks later, biden meets with elizabeth warren at his residence. four days later, he tells dnc members on a conference call that his heart and soul are pretty well banged up, but he left a hint he was thinking about it. september 3, in a speech to atlanta synagog, biden cites the emotional energy of his family as the most relevant factor in his decision. four days after that, he attends a pittsburgh labor day president with richard trump ka by his side and sounded all the bit of a candidate. few days later, he throws cold water on a

quite an exchange at the very end between the chairman of the select committee, trey gowdy, the ranking democrat, elijah cummings, and you saw schiff, the ranking member of the house intelligent committee from california, involved as well. right on your screen, david kendall, the former secretary's personal attorney, who's there. you see sheryl mills who was the legal adviser to the secretary when she served over at the state department. you see some her other top aides there as well. quite a lively session the first three, almost 3 1/2 hours, and it's going to be several more hours before this day is done. you see the secretary there behind those women. she's getting ready to walk out. they're going to take a little lunch break and resume presumably i'm guessing in about an hour or so. but jake tapper at the very end we saw what was going on over there. it was quite intense between these democrats and republicans. >> it's interesting, it's almost as if the democrats on the house benghazi committee were trying to take the opposite advice that hillary clinton has been given. hillary clinton has b

member is saying -- to be compare this member is not a hillary fan, a she is a female democratic national committee woman but wants to see other candidates do better. from her point of view, this is not the way the democratic party should be conducting its business. it should be as impartial at possible and she said she was part of the conversations where the women at the 'of the port said it's hillary or bust. >> david, thank you very much. >>> now to ed henry with the clinton campaign, and now with the growing threat, is he or isn't he? joe biden. jed? >> reporter: two sources close to the vice-president are telling me that they do think he is closing in on the decision, though they've been hearing that a long time. so they stress, don't think it's imminent in the next 24 hours but they believe he is closing in finally. both sources believe that he is leaning towards getting in. that it might run counter to what you just heard, which is interesting because obviously david is right, after the last debate there seems to be a rush within the democratic party, certainly the christian top camp, this i

well now democrats on the committee are going on offense about that. five democrats who are on that me sent a letter to the chairman of the committee saying they plan to release previously undisclosed testimony that was given to that committee by one of hillary clinton's top aides, cheryl mills. cheryl mills testified for eight hours before the committee last month. and after that testimony, the chairman, trey gowdy, said that information, that testimony would be treated, "as if it were classified." well, not really because as soon as she was done testifying, parts of it were leaked from the committee. parts of it that seemed, again, clearly designed to make hillary clinton look as bad as possible. well, now the democrats are threatening to release that testimony in full to the american people basically turning to go on offense on story on which the republicans have been on shaky ground for quite some time. now they're in a position almost unimaginable months ago because of what their speaker in waiting has just admitted about what they're doing. joini

and the democratic committee members did not vote for impeachment. t's unfair to act there's bipartisan agreement on this. >> i said i was more heavily weighed as republicans, i'm speaking as a democrat and we know it's just one. we're talking about the irs all the time, especially now that we move into an election and we talk about the tax code, i'm sorry the loopholes, how the irs behaves, that's a hot topic for all people. i know it's more of an issue for republicans than democrats. liz: yeah. let's stay on that. you and i were talking before the break. this issue is so serious because we're talking about how the tax system is built on trust. it's built on voluntary compliance. and it seems to me when you look at the reaction to what the justice department didn't do in moving against lois learner, people didn't believe even the justice department filing; right? they didn't believe that at all. gerri: 98% of us filing our taxes on our own, we try to comply with the law, we're doing the right thing. so if you break down the trust of the irs, you're r

quote, the democratic national committee staff has never been stronger. one thing that could stop us from having a great election coming up is if the chair know its to create these self-made dramas that are below what a chair should be. i'm joined by former mayor of minneapolis, r.t.rybak. thanks for coming on "mtp daily." >> thanks, chuck. >> in that piece in "the new york times," you said you regretted you waited this long to speak out. why? >> well, this is part of a long pattern. chuck, for context, this has played out as debbie wasserman schultz and tulsi gabbard, but it's really about ruth bader ginsburg and her successor. we have to elect a president. the job of the dnc is to bring this tent together and i think the current share, i've seen unfortunately over many months, seems to be unable to bring this big tent together. and a lot of us have spent a lot of us trying to coach her through that, a lot going on behind the scenes, and frankly, i felt it was important to play this out now, so that we can do what we can to hold that tent together, reach

she's one out of the 70. >> democrats including the committee's top democrat maryland's elijah cummings says that the real mission is not digging up the truth. it's really about damaging hillary clinton. >> we literally had a plan where we would have been interviewing all of these key people. he really threw that away and went straight after hillary clinton. >> clinton herself cited kevin mccarthy that it chipped away at her in the polls. >> i think it's clear they might have thought they were doing, they ended up becoming a partisan arm of the republican national committee with an overwhelming focus on trying to--and they admitted--drive down my poll numbers. >> the bengahzi inquiry is what led to revelations about clinton's private e-mail system. something even rival democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders says should be put to rest. sanders said he had no second thoughts about the comment. and quickly changed the subject. >> the american people want the discussion of the real issues. >> g.o.p. frontrunner donald trump defended his comments about president george w bush and 9

members of the vice president's team met with democratic national committee officials this past week discussing various deadlines we're told and those arcane but critical rules he in a presidential campaign would need to follow if he does indeed decide to run. we have more on all of this from washington. >> reporter: joe biden still isn't saying whether or not he's going to run, but he is at least taking steps in that direction. the vice president is home with his family in delaware this weekend but earlier this week a group of his representatives met with staffers from the democratic national committee to go over detailed rules biden would freed to understand if he decides to run. such as filing deadlines and the selection process for delegates. the meeting is considered an important step for any potential candidate and while it doesn't necessarily mean she is going t run, admits he's at least starting to put together a team in case he goes for it. this past month his schedule has looked a lot like that of a presidential candidate. his speeches sound like it, too. >> we're counting
