that's very different from saying two rogue agents in cincinnati. if i was lois lerner's attorney, i would have told her to plead the fifth amendment, too, because there's serious liability. with regard to the facts of this case, we have 41 clients. late in december i haves i was contacted by the united states department of justice, the fbi and ms. bosser man was on the call as well. they requested at that point they might want to after the first of the year interview three of our 41 clients. they said they'd get back with us after the first of the year. they did. and about the same day they got back with us, of course, the announcement about ms. bosser man's political contributions was made public. that was followed up by a statement to the "wall street journal" by an fbi source that there was indeed no criminal investigation. my office's comment back, the lawyer in my office tasked with dealing with this issue is a former assistant united states attorney. if there is no criminal investigation, why do you need to speak to our comments? no comment.

ice accumulation could be a factor in washington, through south to cincinnati and omaha. middle to end of this week we're looking at mild air. temperatures could top 50 in new york. and in boston, a problem because not only do we have a lot of snow on the ground, but it will be paired with the possibility of rain. so snow melt will be a big factor. frozen ground will create a lot of runoff. so flooding will be an issue paired with those milder temperatures. anthony, gayle? >> avalanche warnings are in colorado. on sunday searchers found two skiers. were skiing with five other people. avalanches claimed eight lives in the past ten days across the west. as barry peterson reports, he says the danger is now at historic levels. >> reporter: the two victims were with five other country skiers when the avalanche swept them down star mountain saturday. >> they all had beepers, equipment they needed. it was inevitable. >> reporter: recent heavy snowfall followed by warmer temperatures have made for unstable snow pass and dangerous conditions throughout the northwest. >> normally s

he's now repeating this falsehood that it was rogue employees in cincinnati.s kim said, this week and going back to last summer, a lot of sworn testimony from irs officials saying no, it was run out of washington. i also think what was interesting this week was interview excerpts released by house investigators from former irs chief steve miller saying all this focus on c-4s was not the result of some flaw in the law. was not the bureaucracy, it was coming from politicians, specifically democratic senator carl levin on the hill. >> the irs issued new draft regulations on c-4s that are nonprofit groups that can participate in politics as long as their effort doesn't exceed 25%. this rule created a lot of controversy. i think it's 20,000 comments, the vast majority of the negative against this draft rule. republicans asked the irs' new chief to withdraw that regulation. is that going to happen? >> at the moment, he talked in front of this committee hearing this week. did he not give any assurances he was going to withdraw it. what these regulations do is formali

because in addition to flagging it because of media attention, the cincinnati worker correctly quoted the irs' procedures regarding the processing of these kinds of cases. he was clearly not confused. he knew exactly what he was doing and it was washington, d.c. that told him to hold and sit on these cases. so i understand that when new subjects pop up, sometimes people are unsure how to react to them. but again that isn't the case here and the rules for 501(c)4 organizations are well established. do you know how long the rules have been in place for these organizations? >> the statute was passed some time ago in 1959. the eisenhower administration made the determination that the wording exclusive in the statute, which could be interpreted in a lot of different ways including no activity should be interpreted that exclusively engaged in social welfare activities should mean primarily. and since 1959 that has been excuse me the standard as i understand it. >> yeah, so these -- you know, these have been in place for more than a half a century. so the irs and its employees have been deal

learner lied and blamed the scandal on cincinnati agents, but knowing it involved offices across thes. government employees don't go rogue in mass. they have ordered originating somewhere. i have to ask how many people in congress are taking this seriously? since my last testimony in congress, i still haven't been contacted by the fbi. the fbi said no one is going to be charged with a crime. but they have not interviewed the witnesses. are you going to let them get away with this? my government has forgotten its place. >> what would you say? >> i would say there needs to be a creditable investigation. this is suppressing free speech. and the other point is who initiated this. it is clear it is coming from washington. douglas shultz went to the white house 708 times, did he only discuss the affordable care act? we need to get to the bottom of it. and we have not. >> the president is claiming he never spoke with him on any of those visit and he was there on acs and irs business. we have to leave it there. >>> watching the hearing off camera and we will dive deeper into the that. and ne

. >> what some people are saying is that the irs was used at a local level in cincinnati maybe other places -- >> absolutely wrong. >> how do you know that? we still don't know what happened. >> bill, we do. that's not what happened. folks, we've had multiple hearings on this. these types of things keep on surfacing, in part because you and your tv station will promote them. >> and president obama didn't just take a swipe at fox news, he also refused to give an answer about what happened the night the four americans were killed during the benghazi terrorest attack. >> did he tell you, secretary panetta, that there was a terrorist attack? >> he told me there was an attack on the compound. what folks are focusing on -- >> did he tell you it was a terror attack? >> bill, i'm answering your question. what he said was we have an attack on the compound. we don't know yet who's doing it. understand when somebody's attacking our compound, that's an act of terror. >> and our good friend from the five, bob beckel am i thought this was a really good interview. it's very difficult to interview a

in cincinnati it's used at our plant here in norwood. and ohio. it's going to train people on the latest software that's really driving digital manufacturing today. >> there's a lot of talk now about what we need to do with not just -- obviously we like preschool and like to improve our elementary schools but secondary education just isn't doing it to train our workforce for the future. this is a pretty good example of innovative way to approach this, i would say. >> yeah, we donated to colleges, universities, community colleges but also to high schools because around the world we're finding a lot of high schools want to get this -- start developing skills at an earlier age, grades nine through 12, not waiting until out of high school. we do this thousands of colleges and universities around the world. >> you think about a four-year liberal arts education that costs over $200,000 that you borrow, and you think about what you could teach kids in two years that might land them a really high paying jobs and get all these companies on that s

they first blamed the irs on rogue agents in cincinnati. then they went on the hill and they said no, we were being directed from washington. >> that's a direct lie, isn't it? >> there's possibly a way to push it outside of the main political arena. as i said before, the irs scandal, and that is a scandal, when they target right wing groups, now i'm -- >> you really don't like that. >> no, not like that. my biggest fear is they're going to try to even it out by coming after liberals. i think that, look, in all of these things, have they dealt with it directly in a straight forward manner? no, there was politics involved and their strategy is to move on. >> i think the american people need to know -- look, more americans now do not believe the president is honest and trust worthy. i thought this was a really good exchange. was the president telling the american people the truth on the issue of health care? this was at the very beginning of the interview. >> was it the biggest mistake of your presidency to tell the american people over and ov

cincinnati, ohio and cleveland, ohio and columbus, ohio are all applying overtly to please try to gethe republican convention for 2016. any city in ohio or maybe every city in ohio has to think that they've got a pretty good chance of getting the rnc, right? as cleveland points out in their application to host the convention, as goes ohio, so goes the nation, right? ohio has become the proto typical swing state. ohio is split down the middle politically. it's absolutely a presidential bell wear, in '04. ohio went for george w. bush for two points. in '08 the state went for barack obama by five points. in 2012 the state went for barack obama by 2 points and he won the presidency. that pattern holds back to 1960, the last time ohio picked somebody who didn't go on to be the winner of the general election is when ohio loved richard nixon too much. because ohio is such a bell weather, and because it's always so close there, ohio has ended up being really really important in election years, and that's not just because of how they vote in terms of who they vote for, it's also become importa

we didn't hear from cincinnati. we heard from washington. i have been doing this a long time and i have never seen anything like it. and to say that it was bone headed mistake is to treat all of these people with utter contempt and disrespect. martha: very explosive yesterday. that was cleta mitchell at the hearing at the house oversight committee. she is an activist that represents a dozen conservative groups who say they have been part of this long drawn-out process where they have been questioned about what they read and what they prayed for as part of this process. she joins us from raleigh. good to have you here today. one of the biggest headlines out of your testimony is you said this is ongoing. this is still happening. how do you substantiate that? >> last summer the irs acting commissioner announced "great fanfare that they were going to cut a deal with the hundreds of groups that were still awaiting tax exempt status after 3 years, 2 years, 4 years, and offered this deal to many groups whose application were still pending which i c

a surprise to me when i went through, starting in cincinnati, talk to the chairman in jacksonville. what has surprised me is the level of energy and enthusiasm that remains. these are employees that have not had a pay raise in four years, suffered to the government shut down, then having endured criticism over the last eight to ten months. you would expect that what i would hear would be a lot of mumbling are complaining. but as i heard continually across those ten cities have been to already, the employees primary concern is they don't have enough people. for them in the offices to help taxpayers. i have sat in call centers and baltimore, st. louis. their concern is not that they are overworked concerned that there are not as many people as they used to be answering phone calls. therefore they don't feel they are delivering taxpayers the services they deserve. people at the taxpayer assistance centers are also concerned about the people standing in line. to me it is a refreshing indication of the dedication of the 90,000 employees working for the irs. the mission of the agency to p

i went to cincinnati and talked make sure people are comfortable.hat in fact whatever the issues were before have been solved. as i said, it's important going forward, you know we have andinvestigations going on as i've said i'm looking forward to having at least one or two of them finished sometime soon so can see what the determination of the facts are and we'll respond appropriately you know how the response is to that. but people need to understand from, as iforward say, this point forward, anyone dealing with theist, any taxpayer should be comfortable that they're going to get treated fairly and the same way that anybody else is no matter their political affiliation, whatever their organization is, who ever they for in any election recently, whether they go to church or don't go to church. with the i.r.s. they're going to be treated in the same way everybody else is. eve 2010t audited, limited resources we'll do a million 400,000 audits this year, but if you get a letter, you need to be confident and that's becauset there's something in your re

and said it is boneheaded decision by agents in cincinnati.y there is an e-mail from the house ways and means committee. it is not a couple of agents in cincinnati but lois lerner and five deputy councils and deliberately designed targeting. and that undermine and belie the president? >> of course it does. he also said in previous interviews and discussions that there was no political motivation behind this either. that doesn't pass the lap test. look at the time line here. over the course of two highly contested election cycles. you have the irs populated by left bureaucrats cracking down on the president's political opposition through a series of secretive targeting practices. and when they discovered it was going to be divulged to the public. they decided to leak it to the public and planted a question in a q and a and lying and admitting it was planted. >> their credibility is suspect. >> the white house changed their story half a dozen times when and how they targeted. and lois lerner, refused to testify before congress and, so the idea o

it's a vigorous little clipper, snowing in cincinnati, raining in kentucky down into tennessee. some of this snow will get into the mountains before midnight, but the rain and snow will make it into the metro area after midnight. temps will remain above freezing is in the beltway. so a trace to an inch and frederick back toward winchester, maybe an inch or 2 and maybe 2 north of winchester up into hagerstown and the bull's eye will certainly be the mountains, kind of an elevation driven snow. this is lacking cold air. you folks in oakland down toward davis, west virginia, great weekend to go skiing. temperatures, here's one thing we're lacking. it's still 46 downtown, 52 in la plata, dropped to 43 in leesburg and frederick, but for the most part kind of a conversational clipper. we'll talk about that and a pattern change when we come back. >>> in frederick county it was a much smoother ride for drivers than this time yesterday. that is, until they pulled up to gas stations where some of the pumps were on empty. >> reporter: i'm scott broom on interstate 70 in the wake of yesterd

and you can see it coming from iowa and over to cincinnati and that is coming quickly.ks, and in fact, no winter weather advisories have been issued for the area, but a lot of folks are adapting to the big changing temperatures. look at the mild pattern here from d.c. and much of the mid-atlantic to cold as the jet stream and the weather pattern is digging to the south with the storm systems that are going to come zipping through, and again, one for tuesday and another one for wednesday and we could have another one coming our way a couple of days after that. 44 is the current temperature, and northwest wind at 18 miles per hour, and the high clouds are off to the west. for tomorrow morning though, those clouds are going to come in fast, and the system is going to be coming in fast and we have a chance of snow showers between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., and that is the best chance with minor accumulation coming out of the event. so on the winter storm impact scale for tuesday and wednesday, it is on the low end. and pretty low end with again, snow showers mainly light. ta

that happens, that snow, that linzie was talking about is coming through and it hit indianapolis, cincinnati and new york in there, a little bit of snow, but the real majority of it is going to happen in eastern massachusetts, up towards parts of new england, up to a foot in places and the wind is going to be the big issue, that's why a blizzard watch has been issued for parts of the cape. next week, at least we get a couple of days of relief. >> holding you to that, ginger. thank you so much. >>> with so many people asking climate change playing a role in this extreme. president obama announcing he wants congress to give $1 billion for new research on climate change and new technologies. and. >>> next here tonight, a last-minute scramble under way, right now, at the olympics. america speedskaters are shedding their suits, some of them blaming a new outfit for costing them the winning edge and abc's matt gutman is on the ground for us again tonight. >> reporter: it is the fastest sport on two feet --sprints raced on scalpels edges, raced on scalpels edges, determined by razor-thin margins. i

the original claim about the irs, these were rogue agents in cincinnati has been proven false. three big lies and he just brushed them aside. >> one of the reasons president obama's team in my opinion would have agreed to do the interview with bill o'reilly, it's 111 million people that are going to watch the super bowl, it's a huge audience. it's coming five days after the state of the union address, in which usually a president will lay out a new plan something positive. there's nothing from the state of the union address that would drive bill o'reilly to ask him about it in that interview. he has to go back, because the white house has not answered satisfactorily about those three issues that you just mentioned, that's why the president was asked about it. >> he can't brush this aside. he cannot brush aside the cbo report. you can't do that. it's the democrats who won't let them brush him aside. this is around your neck? the exact opposite of what obama care was supposed to be all about. >> i have a prediction, president obama will start to do a lot more foreign travel, beca

detroit, boston, new york, chicago, cincinnati, and houston, are all cities that delays out ofng the major washington airports. if you are traveling and have yet to leave the house, you may want to call your airline to get a sense of if your flight is on schedule. keep in mind that at reagan national, there are delays and cancellations. we have not seen ice on the roadways. that does not mean that you can successfully get out of this airport to some of those locations, either the north wiest -- northeast or midwest. >> thank you. things might not be that bad at reagan. at dulles, they will be de-icing planes. the had 1300s of an inch of ice. it is still below freezing at dulles and a little bit colder there. i think you will have problems flying out of that airport. after the noon hour, we will see improvements. it depends on where you're going. what we arebout dealing with this morning. the biggest issue is the freezing rain. they comes down and ice is on contact. it collects on the roadways and power lines. it is extremely hazardous. i want you to treat it as ice. even in washingto

. >> at a low level in cincinnati, maybe other places. >> absolutely wrong. >> how do you know that? because we still don't know what happened there. >> bill, we do -- that's not what happened. folks have, again, had multiple hearings on this. i mean, these kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your tv station will promote them. >> and it's not just president obama taking a swipe at fox news, former secretary of state hillary clinton tweeting it's so much more fun to watch fox when it's someone else being blitzed and sacked #super bowl. all this is nothing new to fox. ♪ >> i have got one television station that entirely devoted to attacking my administration. >> i'm releasing my official birth video. i want to make clear to the fox news table that was a joke. >> if you are on the right, then you're only reading the "wall street journal" editorial page and watching fox news. >> uncle jim, who is a little stubborn and been watching fox news and, you know, he thinks that somehow i raised taxes. the history channel is not here. i guess they were embarrassed about the

and it was only after cincinnati highlighted this high-profile media attention that washington dc got involved. and it was only then that these groups were subject what i would call delay and harassment and it seems that there is a pattern that is developing. it wasn't confusion. it was washington dc that caused the groups to be targeted and harassed. the attempt to mischaracterize the targeting is being driven by confusion or as the president said, boneheaded decisions out of the local office, and that is a quote of the commander-in-chief. it's bad enough. what is worse is the administration's attempt to mislead about the proposed regulation. and the proposed regulation come as i mentioned, was released on black friday and 2013 and drafted in a manner in my view intended to shut down the tea party groups. they were marketed as the american people as a responsiveness to the targeting as a solution to clarify the rules as was recommended by the inspector general. and the truth is that our investigation has revealed that the lack of regulations were not drafted as the remedy. in fact th

across the region, on the radar, this is the next storm system that is bringing the system to the cincinnati area and ohio and rain to the south. this may start as rain in the area and then transition as the colder air moves in. and you mentioned the winter weath weather advisory, it is for most of northern virginia and to the west. it is the i-81 corridor and hagerstown are and winchester, and we will be getting the accumulating snow. everybody has a chance for it. i will show you what to expect in your area coming up. >> and now some breaking news as a child is shot in the district. an 8-year-old girl was shot today on valley avenue in southeast. near 13th street. darcy spencer is live at the scene. darcy? >> well, just a heartbreaking story here in southeast washington today. we wrapped up a press briefing with d.c. police, and they are confirming that the little girl is 8 years old, and lives right here in the neighborhood. she was shot and wounded just after 3:00 this afternoon, and police say that right now she is in surgery clinging to life. let me tell you what her grandmother told m

that's exactly what we'll have in cincinnati.exactly what we've got going on in little rock as you see from the radar. the green is rain and pink is ice and blue is snow. some of those cases we have deep blue, moderate snow like right here. as long as people stay off the roads through this evening, they'll be able to keep up with this. the precipitation is supposed to end at 2:00 a.m., give s the missouri department of transportation a good deal of the rest of the night to clear the streets. but plan on potentially staying home again tomorrow because of the wind and cold. our windchills tomorrow morning will be anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees below zero. the fact this is such a light, fluffy snow, in other words, there's very low water content in the snow, those kind of winds at 25 miles per hour and gusts will blow it around creating occasionally whiteout conditions. winter gripping the heart land, all of this heading east right to where you are. >> thanks so much for that. let me tell you, jim. that was a perfect lesson, i hope t
