doj has not struck, has not interposed an objection for a denial of preclearance or redistricting plan except in two small cases, one dealing with east feliciano parish in louisiana and amity county, mississippi. they are participating of course in the texas redistricting litigation going on in d.c., and so we get a sense of how they interpret this provision from that, and there are several states that opted not to go the doj route this time around and instead litigating the section five voting rights cases in the d.c. district court which then may lead to supreme court review. besides south carolina and the two redistricting cases there's also this case out of the city of kingston, north carolina, which is challenging the constitutionality of section five, where the department of justice denied preclearance from a move to non-partisan elections there so i think those three objections or four objections includ texas so the only sort of indications as to what the new section five means and a lot of the cases, texas is an example as well as the two redistricting situations i mentioned th

ross says, management in general and how the doj is managed. i think you told him that you were informed about agent terry's death but never heard anything back about it being associated with the guns that walked. i'm the kind of person, maybe our management styles are different, if an employee under my charge was killed in the line of duty, i would want to be briefed almost on a daily basis as to how that investigation is going. i'm asking you again, you didn't hear for quite some time that the fast and furious guns were involved in this? >> that's correct, i didn't hear about that for a while. i mean, you know, to draw a distinction here, and i'm almost hesitant to do this, we are talking about a brave law enforcement officer. well, it wasn't a part -- that doesn't matter. i was brought up to date about the ongoing investigation, what we were doing at the justice department, but did not hear anything about the connection between that death and the gun walking tactics until, as i said, february of 2011. >> well you know we've been investigatin

doj assigned a prosecutor to fast and furious. march 2010, gary grenler, who i believe is your chief of staff, knew about straw purchases in fast and furious and seizures in mexico. and it doesn't take a very good prosecutor to ask how weapons got from phoenix to mexico. july 2010, a memo to you through the acting deputy ag. that memo specifically mentioned fast and furious. it specifically mentioned straw purchasers. it specifically mentioned 1,500 firearms supplied to mexican drug dealers. that's july of 2010. 1,500 firearms. april 30th, 2010, a memo from maine justice employee winesteen to andy brewer. atf let a bunch of guns walk. then the rest of e-mail is worrying about the negative press connotations that may have come from that. not how to fix the policy, but how to mitigate negative press consequences. october of 2010, jason winesteen and james trusty swapped e-mails and specifically mentioned gun walking. and mr. attorney general, that e-mail is so illustrative of our frustration with the notion that maine justice did no

i'm going to read a sum friday a doj attache named tony garcia. he suggested allowing purchasers to cross into mexico so mexican police are arrest and prosecute and convict plchlt gar stee ya wrote a summary saying what a horrible idea that was for the very reasons we've been talking about for the last hours. that people were going to die, and that weapons were going to get away from us. my time is out. i want to ask one more question. >> he very, very briefly. >> very briefly. has there been discussion at main justice of either a grant of immunity to mr. cunningham so we can know what it is that he feels the need to invoke his fifth amendment right to not say? have you discussed granting him immunity, and thhas there been discussion about the grant of immunity? >> we have not discussed immunity or a special prosecutor. that will be for you all to ask us, if that is something you want to have considered. i will say that, you know, i don't know exactly why he invoked his fifth amendment privilege, but i can say that in the preparation of that febru

please send us guidance, because doj is the enforcer. send us guidance on how you intend to enforce the law and what you think we should take into consideration in granting a waiver. doj never sent them any guidance, and never put out any guidance to the states about how they were going to enforce the law. contrast that with in 2002 when the help america vote act was passed when the doj put out all kinds of guidance on how it was going to enforce the law. dod was supposed to designate particular offices on installations to be the basically the equivalent of voter registration facilities, the same way dmv offices are, the same way public assistance offices are. when did they do that? now remember the laws passed in october 2009. well, they did the designation on november 15th, 2010, two weeks after the election. and there is even a letter i think in march of 2011 in to congress in which they said not all the branches have done that. and one of the key problems for overseas folks in the military is they move around so much. and so many of

and so the doj report also is calculated by the department using these codes, said they will count how many codes they have in the reports received, and the same is true for the profile, so what we noticed is we analyze the codes, and that is the method by which these two reports are counting, and we noticed that there are differences in how these codes are being used by crime type, so for the example of aggravated assault, we noticed the codes that associated aggravated assault cases were being used for one profile but were not being used to count of aggravated assaults in the other report. so it is really that we are continuing to rely -- if the department is continuing to rely on using these codes as their methodology by which crime is accounted for these two reports, those codes should be the exact same way for both reports. does that answer your question? commissioner turnan: i understand how we're coming up with different ones, but my question was how to get everyone to come together with one methodology. that is what i am talking about. has that dialogue begun? how do we do that

rather than talking about it would be the wrong thing to do, they say doj won't pre-clear, and we can'to it providing political cover to jurisdictions to simply do what i think is the right thing. i agree with nate that the real question, i think, when the section 5 goes back to the supreme court is not going to be upper down is the whole thing unconstitutional because i think it not super likely that the supreme court wants to issue the kind of opinion that will lead to popular press coverage that the supreme court strikes down crown jewel of second reconstruction, and so as opposed to supreme court now what you see is narrowing constructions of the agent, hence congress' attempt in the 2006 act to override the supreme court's decision about what discriminatory purpose means over override decisions, and you get that back and forth, and i think there's an example of that where the court invented a larger bailout provision than congress would have provided, but i'm not sure there really is a consensus on the supreme court that the voting rights act is unnecessary, and, indeed, the decisi

the doj took the approach this is a state problem, and came at it, as you heard earlier and throughout, that that's the attitude of this justice department. this is always a state problem and we're not going to look at counties. i face this in the case of u.s. v. alabama that i brought. i won't get in the particulars the case, but the question is why aren't the counties reporting this data to the ac? the answer, of course, from the justice department's perspective is we only look at the states, and so it sort of locks you into one model of resolution that i don't necessarily think is very helpful. i will -- obviously, this will be in the front and center this year. i mean, you're going to hear about these cases, so i guess the question is what comes out of it. i can't predict. we i want to stress, i think it's a county problem more than a state problem. >> okay. i think -- >> mr. secretary, can i say one word to that, which is we agree, actually, and would join you in moving toward a cleaner list to the extent that -- to the extent that we have the data that bearing out that this is pr

the doj took the approach that it was a state problem and came at it earlier and throughout that this was the attitude of the state department. i face had in the case of us versus alabama, the question is why aren't the countys reporting the data to the ac, and the answer of course from the justice department's perspective is we only look at the states, so it sort of locks you into a model of resolution that i do not necessarily think is helpful. i will -- obviously this will be in the front and center this year, i mean, you will hear about these cases. so i guess, the question is, what what comes out of it? i can't predict. i think it's a county problem more than a state problem. >> okay. i think -- >> mr. secretary, could i just say one word to that which is we agree actually and would join you in moving toward a cleaner list to the extent that we have the data that bares out that this is a problem. and so, i don't, i don't think there's a difference of party on this issue and i would say the same thing with respect to your comments on compliance and ensuring that military voters in

what impact do you expect from doj's decision on the south carolina law? do you expect other states to consider similar laws or not and do you expect legal challenges? >> the south carolina attorney general has already filed a lawsuit to overturn the justice department's decision. i think they're going to win because the data that south carolina submitted after they adjusted it showed that what they did is they took their voter registration list, compared it to their dmv list. once they had taken out people who were dead which were tens of thousands of people who were still on the voter registration list, there were tens of thousands of individuals who moved out of state. once they took all that data out, it showed that before they've done anything to try to get people free ids who don't have one, only a little over 1% of individuals who were already registered to vote in the state don't already have a driver's license. the idea that it is going to have a discriminatory impact i don't think the justice department is going to be able to prove that in court.

just urge you and ask your thoughts as you give oversight to the fec, the eac, and certainly -- >> doj. >> to the justice department. but any ways you can help influence to make them realize that, you know, we want a working relationship as we do these things, and we're also subject, as you know, to what the legislature's pass in our states as we go through the process that we would certainly appreciate that at the state level. >> absolutely, sir. i will advocate for it. if you ever hear that i'm not, don't be bashful about letting me know. i try not to forget where i came from and want to go back to. yes, sir. >> jason gant in colorado. i know that the federal is battling with issues every day and that the federal government is a lot of times out of whack compared to what some of the states are doing, but with that note, with the help america vote act of 2002 and getting things ready for '03 and '04, those machines we've had for disabled folks, the ballot box, those systems are pushing at least ten elections after this fall, this summer, and there's going to be a pro where some of tho

felt that a majority of the group made some comments about some recommendations that have come out of doj, stating basically that absentee election ballots were late than the secretary of state would be fined and of course, we understand, nobody has worked harder, as you know, and nobody will work harder than secretaries of state from around this country to ensure that our military are allowed to vote. and i think that is something that we all agree on, it's a common bond that holds us together as a nation and certainly as an organization, it's the one thing we certainly agree on, but, you know, the concern was that we would be sued that election absentee ballots are not handled by secretaries of state at all and in many cases are a different entity of government that has no accountability to us, then we're held responsible. to answer your question about what one of the solutions might be, it was recommended this morning, and i'll have to tell you, not by me, because my governor's birthday is february the 3rd, and i don't want to share this with him, but someone said if they're suing the

and, in fact, i look forward to working with chairman wittman and our in regard to possibly cid and doj officials to come know what the status is. because this would be beyond your purview. but there should be accountability. and we can't proceed without it. >> yeah. and i think, too, another thing to take from today that i ask all of you to consider, i think the suggestion that the leadership chain include the uniformed code of military justice is something that reins with that is something that is a very, very significant suggestion. one that, as strategic planning and organization plans are looked at, that i think it's something that your serious consideration. >> any further? if not, we shall be adjourned. thank you, again, everyone, for being here today. >>> join us later today when book tv features an event with author david rothkopf. his latest work called "power ink" looks at the evolving relationship between public and private power in the world and assesses the different forms of capitalism that have emerged over the years as a result. watch this live at 5:00 p.m. eastern onli

it is not doj policy and anybody that does it now is breaking a directive from the attorney general of the united states. >> if you were asked or told by the atf or united nations attorneys office about the tactics in operation fast and furious, how would you have acted or responded? >> in the same way he did in early march 2011 by telling everybody in the justice department don't do this. it's unacceptable. it's stupid. it's dangerous and not something this department of justice can ever do. >> i want to thank you for coming up. of course, thank you for your testimony. i think it is pretty clear the attempts to tarnish your reputation with these unsubstantiated allegations is pure politics and definitely has a political flavor and that is unfortunate. so on that note i will yield back. >> i thank the gentleman. we now go to the gentleman from north carolina mr. henry for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, attorney general holder for being here. listening to the answer you had from the former chairman, it seems to me when you saw folks did not follow policy, did not f

and the concern that i heard was that the doj, civil rights division was trying to hold states accountable for mir which you feel that you have little or no control. and i very much appreciate that concern. and at the same time, i would respectfully call our attention to the language of the statutes itself. uacava and the move act and for that matter, the nvra create responsibilities and refer to states. states shall, states shall. and by comparison, section 203 refers to states or political subdivisions which is why our action is not against the state of california, it's against alameda county. and so that is -- i very much appreciate the frustration that was expressed a year ago. regarding situations where, perhaps, counties or cities or other subdivisions were remiss in some of their obligations. but it has been the department's long-standing practice under both republican and democratic administrations under statutes such as uacava and now the move act and nvra to hold states acouldn't theable in these statutory contexts. and, again, this practice is based on the plain language of the

>> well, unfortunately, the doj took the approach that this is a state problem and came at it, as you heard earlier and throughout, that that's the attitude of this justice department, that this is always a state problem, and we aren't going to look at counties. i say this is this in the case of u.s. v. alabama that i brought where, and i won't get into the particulars of the case, but the question is why aren't the counties reporting this ucava data to vac? and the answer, of course, from the justice department's perspective is we only look at the states. and so it sort of locks you into one model of resolution that i don't necessarily think is very helpful. i will, obviously, this'll be in the front and center this year. i mean, you're going to hear about these cases. um, so i guess the question is what comes out of it. i can't predict. but i want to stress i think it's a county problem more than a state problem. >> okay, i think -- >> mr. secretary, could i just say one word to that -- >> yes, please. >> -- which is we agree, actually, and would join you in moving toward a cleaner

people that have been moved from arizona up the line to doj. having that discussion to find out how this came about. because this is in our backyard. don't you agree? >> agree with -- you've said a lot. >> don't you agree that we shouldn't trivialize this? >> no. it has not been trifl yalized. this is obviously -- at least not by me. >> do you think it's appropriate that we just say don't do it, you shouldn't be doing gun walking? or do you say it shouldn't be done, and if it is done and you're found culpable and you're a participant of this you should be held to the same standards that the rest of us are? >> what i did after i found out about gun walking was to issue a directive that said this is unacceptable. don't do it and you will be held accountable if, in fact, you do do it. >> you will agree with me that if they do this, then they're going -- and they're put before a jury of their peers, that they would do criminal time? >> i don't know about criminal time. i mean, one has to look at the facts of a particular case. if somebody did somet

i'm sure the doj is actively looking at that. you know, i haven't really heard any lawmakers say anything like that, but there's certainly a lot of rhetoric. maxine waters today was very quick to make sure to point out that corzine was leading this company and every twist and turn of what they were doing in terms of changing the strategy and was very much hands on. randy nuegebauer also making similar statements and referring to reports out in the media about him using his blackberry 0 make trades for the company. so there's certainly rhetoric on that, but i don't know yet, i mean, there's been no evidence yet of any criminal liability on his part and that's still you know, very much an active investigation. >> sarah lynch who covers the financial beat for reuters, the story available online at reuters.com. thanks for being with us. >> sure, thank you. >> this is washington today on c-span radio. the dow fell 11, nasdaq was up 11, s&p was up 1. offshore wind farms from new jersey to virginia are being studied and are closer to re

just so you know, the other facts i've been able to glean is that the kevin carvel, a doj criminal division gang unit supervisor in september 2009 called it a semidormant investigation. gun traffic investigation by atf. and in 2012 jason moinsteen called it a case from years earlier. which in my mind suggests that it was not something which was current. >> wide receiver was dormant and then was brought back to life -- >> i want to know why. that's a pretty good question. because do you know -- who's laura gwynn? >> i'm not sure. i don't know. >> let me tell you who laura gwynn is going back. apparently laura gwynn was an attorney from maine justice who was sent by lonny brewer to prosecute gun cases. and around 2009, september of 2009, she was sent to arizona to prosecute gun cases. in her e-mail of september 2nd, 2009, she talks -- she sends an e-mail to jim trusty in the united states department of justice in washington. it says, it's my understanding a lot of those guns walked. so we had an attorney from your department sent to washington who sends a communication back to mid-level or se

this morning they released a report accusing the justice department of hiding the doj's involvement inon fast and furious. we'll ask him what questions remain unanswered from his vantage point. jenna: all right, america's watching headquarters. sometimes you have to see something to truly believe it, and it looks like donald trump is endorsing mitt romney just days after romney won the florida primary. the donald planning a major announcement involving the presidential race just hours from now in las vegas. earlier reports indicated he would back newt gingrich, but there were so many reports all about this that now we can confirm that he is, trump is going to endorse mitt romney. dana perino is a former white house press secretary and co-host of "the five" and here in an expert role -- >> well, i never went through anything quite like this. jenna: is it good press? >> not necessarily. if you have a gaffe like yesterday when mitt romney in the morning had the reference that was taken out of context about not caring for poor people, that carried the day. just the day after he won florida

so far, doj hasn't said much about that. >> at the end of the day, military hospitals certainly havere legal protection and less accountability than civilian hospitals. isn't that what is happening here? how do military hospitals compare to civilian hospitals? >> yeah. i think that's a really good point. the medical provides inferior care in some cases because their doctors and their hospitals don't have the same exposure to lawsuits. if this law was to now expand, that would exaggerate that -- what you might call an accountability gap. >> andrew tillman, your reporting has been exceptional on this. we appreciate you coming on the show. thank you. >> thanks. >>> it was a sweep for rick santorum last night, and he says this about the gop front-runner. >> mitt romney is not the best choice to go up against barack obama. >> but is rick santorum the guy? that's fair game, next. >>> but first, our political junky question, only three times in history has an incumbent democratic president lost in the general election. mart yn van buren was one. who were the other two? be the first to tweet

multiple federal agencies, including doj, hud's office of the inspector general, the federal housingion, the federal housing finance bureau, the board of governors of the federal reserve session system and the inspector general all played key roles in achieving this settlement, and we partnered with state attorneys general offices and state banking regulators from across the country who brought valuable expertise and unique on the ground experience with those directly affected by the foreclosure crisis to this resolution. in particular, i want to recognize the outstanding work of the justice departments united states trustees programs and our united states attorneys process. serves as the watchdog was one of the first federal agencies to investigate abuses of home owners in financial distress. as part of their investigation, trustees reviewed more than 37,000 documents filed by major mortgage servicers in federal bankruptcy court and took discovery in more than 175 cases across the countries. these efforts were advanced by several united states attorneys, including loretta lynch, who
