what kind of arguments do you expect the department of justice is going to make against the rehearing which is due in just a couple of weeks? >> well, it is hard to know exactly what they could actually come up with because, frankly, this is pretty clear cut. it is very unusual for the supreme court to rehear a case but in this particular case the fact that they directed the department of justice to respond within 30 days indicates to me and others that they have an interest in the case and there is a serious matter that needs to be addressed. i believe at the end of the day what will ultimately happen is the supreme court will send it back to the court of appeals and at that point we will address the constitutionality of the employer mandate in general and that also in addition to that we will address the free exercise of religion as it applies to the religious employers under the employer mandate and those individuals that also have religious objections to the forced funding and subsidizing of abortion inducing drugs contraception and sterilization. those are critical issues that ha

obviously you heard about the department of justice and the s.e.c. about how they retain clients. that was unexpected. not sure how much of an impact that could have. but in the short term, it's going to knock some wind off the sails, so to speak. the numbers are in line, actually. they did get propped up from the investment banking side of things. but from a quarterly perspective, investors' banking income was up, but if you take away where it was, it's continuity has gone lower. >> that's the point, isn't it. this is the first set of results as they took over from bob diamond a couple of months ago, when the investment bank is the business that was performing, up 7%, 9.1 billion pounds. can you expect barclays to shrink the size of the business when it is the performing part out there. it's delivering returns to shareholders. >> that's the concern, right? i'm looking at the way the barclays bank is working. when you're looking at one area of business propping up a weak area of the other side of business and trying to wind down the profitable part, that's going to raise some conce

justice system. i think the truth is a little bit more nuanced and a little bit in between. what i saw personally was a real timidity on behalf of the departmentf justice. and a lack of sophistication and expertise, when looking at the complex accounting fraud cases that i was doing. and i think it's safe to presume that that also applied over there to the crisis-related cases. but you also have to look into the reality behind what those cases would mean. we just spent trillions of dollars of treasure, taxpayer money, an unbelievable amount of effort to save these financial institutions, save them from failure, because we believed that the failure of any one of those would bring down the entire economic system with it. they were too big to fail in 2008. they were too big to jail in 2009. >> i thought, at the time, this was an incestuous orgy going on there, between inside players at washington and inside players at wall street. is that too strong? >> it's probably not too strong. it's the fact that their ideology matches up. and look, one of the reasons why their ideology matches up is they all come from the same small handful of institutions.

that the department of justice does not have a track record going after reporters. their media stories. and i think that restraint that nihilist thought not as something that often gets lost in this discussion. another thing that often gets lost or is minimized is the damage that is caused by leaks. and this gets to the fact that karen talked about, trying to pull out today. i think it's important we step back and think what is it the government is worried about when they say we shouldn't have leaks. is a just preventing impressment? is it just preventing the airing of dirty laundry? and it's not. that i did that there are different types of leaks. there are leaks with embarrassing stories that cannot in the press, public officials don't want other. we saw some of them in the wikileaks disclosure. we saw embarrassing language and embarrassing stories that got us through some of those diplomatic cables. that's not the stuff we're talking about. let me go through the types of damage that leaks can cause in any of us have been a national security arena, and john rizzo i

criminal behavior is department of justice. that is a, not a ruling we make. we have civil fines and penalties. david: don't you join forces in terms of sharing information about these things. >> you're absolutely right but i don't want to make news what the department of justice may or may not do but good try, dave. liz: he tried. let's get to the issue at hand. we're expected to hear from your office about the new rules that would prevent money simply going off into the ether like we saw with mf global and perigrine financial. a lot of these where traders and brokers plant their money. it is shock and disgusting when you look at these innocent people who thought they were just parking their money and it was simply gone. what can you do to prevent yesterday's problem? >> i agree with you 100% about this. so disturbing. these are real people with their, they're trying to make an investment in markets so there is really three things i anticipate and i hope we will do. i have called for it, on this week, later this week, thursday. one is that if you can believe i

we're going to do as well as provide transparency on the actions of the department and the intelligence agencies of the department of justice a lot of what we did was retrospective. we would look at things after they occur such as 9/11 attacks and by the fbi and department of justice knew about it. but a lot of it, we were getting information as programs are ongoing and we would look at them as the programs are going forward. for example, with national secure the letters, we got information about misuse of national secure delivers and we decided to do it as they were being used. as he was ongoing, i think that was very important. and we had, i think a unique ability to go in there and find problems with it that, to the extent the fbi didn't know that there were these problems, and when we found them they were surprised and also willing to make change because of the things that we have found. so we were able to do both on the real-time basis and also i retrospective basis. and we tried to give both of them. so i do think that there are many entities and institutions that are important to promote transparency and to promote o

so there is no question that it was something we had to report to the department of justice. hat being said, in the range of leaks and later on perhaps we can talk about the number of leaks currently as opposed to 10 or 15 years ago. but the truth is in the scale of things, that leak was not terribly damaging to national security. it was very damaging to her career. which was unfortunate. but the fact was that the classified information that i became aware of that was leaked, that was way down on the scale. in terms of seriousness. the other criteria are characteristic it had which typically does not make for a fruitful leak investigation is that many people inside the government, working for the agency. so those are the two main linchpins of how serious the leak is and especially when it comes to investigating prosecutors. it is neither of those categories. and yet, what we saw was a four-year investigation and prosecution, it was mentioned and it brought unfettered powers in the special prosecution, it took about 84 days that she spent in prison. for refusing to testify befo
