of immunity for a number of clinton's underlings, among them california republican congressman darrell issa, he joins us now. congressman issa, what did you witness yesterday? >> well, obviously the director wanted it to be personalized that somehow people were disparaging the fbi, and nothing could be further from the truth. what we were doing is questioning what seems to be a botched investigation at all levels, whether it was trey gowdy or jason chaffetz or chairman goode lat or myself, in the course of an ordinary prosecution and questioned the director, and he had no good answers for most of them. judge napolitano: some of the things that don't happen is no grand jury was impanelled, no subpoena was issued, no search warrants were served. effectively no supervision from the department of justice. they gave her lawyer a form of immunity when there was nothing to testify about and willy-nilly gave a form of immunity to the others. why give immunity? what justification does he have for that when they weren't going to give you anything substantial in return against the target, mrs. clinton

grassley on the house side some real champions, one of the few bipartisan bills with elijah cummins, darrell issa, and the new chair of utah. there is a bill that would do some of the same things. make them update regulations. filled in this presumption of disclosure into the statute so the courts could look at it. it is a step toward the public interest balancing test. set some deadlines. give this mediating office t power to report directly to conversation is them independence from agencies and sets a sunset on a provision that has been abused by agencies which says we have to have a zone of confidential discussion to get anything done. extended. claimed that 40 or 50 years. how would that chill today's discussions? the court says the law does not put any deadline on it. this newbill does just passed by congress. president obama says he will sign it. the last day he has to sign it is july 4, 2016. -- i don't know if the white house will want to have a signing ceremony either. [laughter] it has taken eight years for them to get into the law something the president promised on day one. ofsident o

coming out of the government reform committee with elijah cummings, of maryland who is the ranking, darrell issa and new chair jason chaffetz from utah. it was a bill that would do some of the same things, make them update their regulations, build into the statute so the court can look into it. deadlines, give this mediating office the power to report directly to congress. which gives them some independents governing agency, and sets a sunset on a provision that has been really abused by the agencies process. they say, we have to have a zone of confidential discussion to get anything done. the cia claimed that extended 35, 50 years. how would that show today's discussions? the law does not set a deadline on it. this new bill does. it just got passed by the congress, and president obama says he is going to sign it. i think the last day he has decided is july 4, 2016. -- he has to sign it is july 4, 2016. i don't know if the white house is going to want to have a signing ceremony either. it has taken eight years in effect for them to get into the law something that the president promised on day on

and in fact one big question that darrell issa, your colleague, put to the fbi director. and why this broad immunity. director comey didn't answer truthfully or full knowledge. let ace listen. >> i don't think anybody was given transactional immunity. >> oh really? you gave immunity from destruction for both attorneys, not just turning documents over, specifically destruction. david: so, comey's answer was, either ignorant of what really happened. the the transactional immunity which is broader immunity or he was misleading congress. >> during the hearing, we called the justice department having them read the letter to cheryl mills and some of the other potential witnesses that were granted immunity to our staff and we set the record straight at the end of the hearing. we never got a straight response from director comey as to why he did that nor did we get a direct response from the director regarding the charges -- david: i'm sorry to cut you off. we have breaking news. congressman goodlatte, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: let's go to donald trump right now. he

. >> didn't james carville tell us once she didn't want darrell issa going through her e-mails. now she's got chaffetz and judicial watch and gowdy and us. i got to go. see you both. >> focus on the issues. >>> hillary clinton is not the only one facing new fire tonight. general jack kane is here on the controversy over what mr. trump said about our military leaders. and bill bennett weighs in on how the iraq war issue may be playing with voters. he's here. he's excited. don't worry. >>> plus after hosting last night's presidential forum, nbc host matt lauer being accused of everything from embarrassing his profession to outright sexism. i'll tell you what i think too. howie kurtz, former white house press secretary bill burton on what lauer did and whether he deserves this blowback. man, people are mean. >>> and then a story that's literally the stuff of nightmares. reports of creepy clown sightings now spreading across the country and brian kilmeade is here with the results of our investigation. >> in my 20 years, i'm not familiar with a spree of clown sightings. so this is un

senate in california, as i mentioned everly arlier, and am your supporters, republican congressman darrell issa. the two of you appeared together in his district this past week. i just want to share a little bit about what isa has said about hillary clinton to breitbart news back in july and get your response. >> we are in a crisis because hillary clinton, if the voters do not stop her, will be the next president of the united states. she will, in fact, on day one say, pardon me -- and she'll mean it. she will have pardoned herself." >> so, representative, do you agree with congressman issa? and how do you reconcile his support for you and what he's saying about the candidate you're supporting? >> well, first let me say that i was in his district on official business. it was a bipartisan delegation of five people, three democrats and two republicans. and we were doing the work of the military committee, which is where i am a top person. i'm in the top wrung of the military committee. it happened to be that the bases were in representative issa's district. and so, as is custom, he also was there

information technology act, i ion act, fitaa was delighted to be a co-author of the act along with darrell issa of california. the m.g.t. act will establish working capital funds that will allow those agencies to use savings from new secure systems and reinvest in themselves, including in the movement toward the cloud. this creates an incentive for agencies to find those savings and reinvest internally in themselves, creating a virtuous cycle. the modernization government technology act is supported by industry experts and incorporates the same sort of mechanisms the private sector often uses to secure its networks. the important for agencies to know that congress not only expects agencies to implement robust modern cybersafeguards, but that it's here to help them confront those challenges. this reform has the potential to significantly speed up federal government's move to the 21st century technologies. mr. speaker, with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas. mr. hurd: mr. speaker, i'd like to ma
