attorney and doj official.is a huge deal, and if this really did have -- if this was a ocdef program back in 2010, 12 months before brian terry was killed, 12 months before the attorney general said he knew about it, it is highly likely that somebody high up at the doj did sign off on it. >> yeah, high up. there were two numbers that are interesting but i would like you to think about. 80,000 and 8000. they keep talking about how eric holder brought in a special prosecutor or, i'm sorry, inspector general. megyn: is the person who's going to get to the bottom of all this. >> that is to say he wants to be patted on the back for doing this instantly. the inspector general has 80,000 documents that have been produced somehow or another within the justice department. issa's committee has gotten less than a thousand of the documents. preposterous for me to hear these guys say, issa has gotten everything, and then accuse him of, you know, just stating the facts. megyn: is getting everything he is entitled to? >> this

the doj is currently in an investigation dealing with security leaks and this same doj will release a report in some future day that we also have to trust is accurate. i urge my colleagues to move forward with the contempt. we need this information. we have to get this out both for the terry family and to get a full accounting of what has occurred and when it occurred and by whom so we can hold people to account. with that i yield back. >> i thank the gentleman. gentleman from missouri is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. you know, we in congress and especially those of us who serve on this committee can get pretty passionate about our responsibilities. we take our duties seriously which we should. when that passion increases to fervor, however, our interests in overseeing the federal government can sometimes get the better of us. we can become so focused on what we originally wanted that we can lose sight of the point of our inquiry, and we have all experienced, i am sure, how our staff can sometimes become overzealous in their attempts to help us do our jobs.

the doj can assert it, but what is the likelihood that a court is going to back the doj?> i think in this case, megyn, it's pretty unlikely. it's a needs-based privilege, and congress has a pretty legitimate law-making need for this information. they're investigating whether there have to be any changes in the rules about gun walking in investigations. and that's a legitimate legislative need. and against that is a really weak privilege where doj is claiming that they have the right to withhold information about how they determined they were going to respond to media inquiries. that's at the edge of what might be considered executive privilege. it's certainly presumptively privileged, but a court is probably going to look askance at that. megyn: so, jay christian adams, welcome back to the program. i want to ask you, the doj can come out and say -- well, president obama has to assert it. that doesn't mean they had communications with president obama. they're saying we can do it as an administrative agency, we can assert this privilege even if we didn't talk to president o

megyn: and now issa is looking into the doj and why they didn't stop it. to talk about the deputy, lanny brewer is now basically the number two guy over there, and this is what mr. holder testified to in terms of what lanny brewer saw before he signed off on these wire tap applications. listen: >> i think first off there's no indication that mr. brewer or my former deputy were aware of the fact ticks that were employed in this matter until everybody i think became aware of them, which is like january, february, of last year. the information -- i'm not at all -- i'm not at this point aware -- any of the tactics were contained in the wire tap applications. megyn: then issa says the wire tap applications which doj refused to provide issa show immense details about investigative tactics and he believes he's been directly misled and how does doj defend itself? is it going to say we just saw summary? >> first of all i agree, summaries ought to be retprebgt dollars in the actual applicables. consider what would have happened in the national security con flex -- c

also back in december, we talked about doj addressing the issue of medicare fraud. and we know by many accounts there's as much as $60 billion a year that is being used as being stolen from our medicare program fraudulently. wh s

also back in december we talked about doj addressing the issue of medar

something of the leaks could have come from the sources within the doj or the fbi. from publicly available comments it appears the sources of these leaks could be in a position to influence the investigations. the investigation must do this. we agree on this. we are still trying to work out where this may be the best place for this to happen. it must be complete. it must be empowered to examine any office or department of the united states government. it must be free of influence from those who conducted or veed the progra reviewed the program. it must be fair and nonpartisan. two problems. one, get to the bottom of what's a growing and serious problem and the nature of these leaks. and second, we put together legislation quickly that moves to put -- give the tools to the intelligence community to prevent this from happening in the future and i look forward to the opportunity to work with all of the members here to make sure that happen. >> turn it over to the ranking member. >> good afternoon. first thing i want to acknowledge, the relationship that has developed b

the -- also back in december we talked about doj addressing the issue of medicare fraud. and we know by many accounts there's as much as $60 billion a year that is being used, as being stolen from our medicare program fraudulently. what steps is doj taking to increase prosecutions on medicare and also on medicaid fraud? >> sorry. we're working with our partners at dhs. kathleen sebelius, secretary at hhs, has been going around the country expanding what we call heat strike force teams to increase the federal presence in our investigative capacity in those cities where we have identified these problems. and what we have seen is that we have received in the settlements, in the prosecutions that we have brought, record amounts of money brought back into the federal government. as i indicated in my opening statement, for every dollar that we spend in enforcement, we bring back $7 to the federal government. and it's something that i think should be funded at as high a level as we possibly can. our enforcement. >> one closing question. could you provide information to the commi

you and the heads of the dojs, component agencies have always made yourselves available to talk to me, despite your busy schedules, and i appreciate that. there have been some major success stories in recent months including yesterday's federal/state operation which resulted in the arrest of dozens of our airline workers in puerto rico were smuggling drugs on flights to the mainland u.s. your men and women in puerto rico are doing terrific and courageouses work. i hope you know i recognize and respect that. it's also clear to me, and to any reasonable observer, that far more needs to be done. the cjs appropriations bill which we approved recently this year explicitly stated the committee's aware that efforts by federal law enforcement to reduce drug trafficking and associated violence in the southwest border region have affected trafficking routes and crime rates in the caribbean. the committee expects the attorney general to address these trends by allocating necessary resources to areas substantially affected by drug-related violence and reporting back to the committee. i wrote this

it's been a doj scandal, and this can spread.i think holder was trying to fend off the contempt citation by trying to offer this. what i thought was a ridiculous and almost insulting offer last night of a briefing on very inch distinct documents. the stakes are pretty high for everybody. jenna: what questions do you think our viewers should be asking in general, about the process of government and the leadership we have in place right now? >> i mean a lot of people will say, it's the usual partisanship, the usual fighting, of these parties which are so far apart, so antagonistic. i'm not sure that's true, at least in in case, because we've had these executive privilege fights, as we just heard going back 20, 30 years, and these are serious constitutional matters. i was looking at the letter that was sent to obama where holder urged obama to exert executive privilege, and he quote this quite remarkable sentence. he says giving over the documents to the committee would inhibit candor of executive branch deliberations, that's fine,

you can't steal elections when they're clean.recently, doj demanned florida halt cleaning voter rollssof foreigners, non-residents and the dead. fforida is actually complying ith state and federal law.. one sweep found 53,000 deed people registered po vote. cbs news coofirmed most notoriius voter idents.the suppressioo case occurred when baton-wielding, uniformed nee black panthers acted

to help fund this litigation which was then dismissed because doj had no evidence. or did not have sufficient evidence. so if you could get me just your views on that, i would very much appreciate it, and i thank you for being here today and listening. >> i'll be glad to do that. i think you have -- the underlying material that you've shared with regard to the disposition of those two cases is accurate. so what i will endeavor to do is to respond to the questions you have put to me and i apologize for that being able to answer based on that correct factual assertion that you've made. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you, mr. griffin. the gentleman from florida, mr. ross, is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and mr. attorney general, thank you for being here. i guess the benefit of having me question you, i may be the last one. thank now your for patience today. the house committee on oversight did receive six wiretap applications that it reviewed. in that, that committee's contention that those applications contain detailed information about fast and furious and gu

i would note that in the doj-supposed investigation that's under way. doj looked at these mfns in the comcast and nbc merger and other merger-specific deals and didn't find any violations in those cases and passing on them. to be honest, they're contract-specific. i'm not privy to the contours of them. i think they can serve a beneficial purpose and i also think they can be harmful, but that's what we rely on the examination for. >> thanks. i appreciate that. my time has expired. mr. chairman, i yield back. >> the gentle lady yields back and now the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. doyle. recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> want to thank you for joining us today. i know my constituents in pittsburgh appreciate the hertz station that you have there. i want to elaborate more on mr. ergen's comments about the hopper service. my understanding is that there's a fair use exemption for dvr recordings. can you explain to me how you believe that the hopper service is so different than regular dvr service? >> i believe it goes beyond the c

>> applications have to agree with doj policy? >> that's what he said. >> sure. >> during a transcribed interview, deputy attorney general testified that senior officials approving the wiretap applications do not read the wiretap applications. is this practice acceptable to you? >> summaries of the applications -- that is a process that has been used by this administration and all previous administrations. it is the way in which the office of enforcement -- >> are you aware that federal judges, to your knowledge. >> can i answer your question? >> know, -- would you agree, senior officials are responsible for documents they signed? i would assume the answer is yes, let me ask you the question. jason weinstein, is he responsible for what is in these wiretaps? >> is he responsible? >> is he responsible even if he only read a summary? >> he did not create those affidavits or material. he would've been a person who would review them. >> when congress writes a statue, requiring that certain individuals are responsible, such as jason wei

that we should investigate inaccurate statements from doj. why is this important? on multiple levels, truth and of your central and government. it is also important because the doj is currently in an investigation dealing with security leaks and the same doj will release a report in some future day that we also have to trust is accurate. i urge my colleagues to move forward with the contempt. we need this information. we have to get this out both for the terry family and to get a full accounting of what has occurred and when it occurred in by home so we can hold people to account. with that i yield back. >> i thank the gentleman. the gentleman from missouri is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman. we in congress and especially those of us who serve on this committee can get pretty passionate about our responsibility and we take their duties seriously, which we should. when that passion increases to ferber, however interest in overseeing the federal government can sometimes get the better of us. we can become so focused on wh

they have hammered this again and again, this is the response from the doj yesterday. chairman issa has distorted the facts, ignored testimony and flung facts at the attorney general and others that has so many americans disallusioned with washington. any chance it blows up in their face. >> absolutely there is a chance it's going to blow up in their face, which is exactly while kirsten's point and the point the doj tries to make that this is politically motivated is ludicrous. very often republicans have argued cases on the merits that they thought they were right on but public opinion went the opposite way. let's remember the monica lewinsky trial. we thought we had that dead to rights and it was a political liability for hreps. th republicans. the same thing could happen here. three whistle-blowers brought this to our attention. there was a dead border agent and an attorney general obstructing at every turn this investigation to get to the truth. contrary to kr*eurs ten i think it's important to find out, what people knew, when they knew it and was this authorized,

a letter from the doj's civil rights division called for florida to -- for more, we're joined by three guests. from capitol hill, democratic congress member ted deutch of florida, one of six members of congress who wrote to gov. rick scott demanding the state stop cleaning its voter rolls since the process "fails to meet the basic standards of accountability." we're also joined by maureen russo in fort lauderdale, florida, one of congress member this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. 's constituents who received a letter telling her to prefer citizenship or she would lose the right to vote. in new york, diana sen, part of a coalition of civil-rights groups working to protect latino voters in florida and elsewhere. congress member deutch, can you tell us what is happening? >> what we have seen in florida is an effort on a massive scale by gov. sky to suppress the vote to make it more difficult for people to vote in florida. but there is a list of 182,000 names that the governor has delivered to supervisors of elections throughout the state

the subject of a department of justice civil rights division investigation and may be subject to a doj consent decree soon, these measures that i'm going to sketch out in an outline form were instituted by reform-minded commanders prior to the doj investigation and independent of that, and this truly was a voluntary shift. we can talk later about why this came about. so what am i talking about voluntarily surrendering techniques that have delegitimized law enforcement? i'll give two examples. first, those of you in new york are familiar with the program operation clean halls and related programs that enforce -- that are trespass enforcement programs, basically where police agencies enter into agreements with private property owners to check and purge public areas of of privately owned property open to the public of people determined by the police not to have business there. so in an apartment building this could be a kid who lives there who can not prove that he lives there. you know, who went out to get a carton of orange juice and is coming back, doesn't have i.d. and the police don'

so the federal government, you can't do it alone, obviously, and the special litigation section of doj, and they may have, and i'm not sure the number of attorneys and say it's 20 or even 50 attorneys. they can't be in every police department that may have a problem. so state and local govern ams are going to have to step up here and make some changes, and also there has to be a buy-in from the local community. and as mr. thompson, and they know they have the problems in their communities in identifying those problems and developing solutions that are tailored to their local needs. again, the federal government and they're all here because you can incentivize those states with local governments and there are millions of grant dollars that are made available each year and i would have the radical view that if you have a police department that has these problems and they should withhold that money and see if they can't be brought into line or maybe we can do competitive grant programs and give money to a police department that has come up that have experimented that have developed progra

doj apologized for it, shut down the program and appointed an investigation.ink the media should have been following this back when this was happening. at this point, i think it's-- i think it's totally partisan, you know, the reason they invoked executive privilege because they say it's deliberate documents, i don't agree with it, but it's their privilege. >> jon: we have more news watch to come. if you see something that you feel shows evidence of media violence, e-mail us at fox watch@foxnews.com. next, your trust in tv news is not what it used to be. >> when it comes to covering key issues, do americans have trust in the the news media? and nbc dumped ann curry from today. was it bad ratings or bad politics at the peacock network? details next on news watch. our cloud is not soft and fluffy. our cloud is made of bedrock. concrete. and steel. our cloud is the smartest brains combating the latest security threats. it spans oceans, stretches continents. and is scalable as far as the mind can see. our cloud is the cloud other clouds look up to. welcome to the

suggesting some of these leaks could have come from the courses within the doj or fbi. >> reporter: congressman rogers later walked back that claim saying the recusals show the investigation is complicated. the principals on both committees declined to say whether the leaks may be politically motivated. >>> still ahead a fame '70s musician found -- a famous '70s musician found dead. >> and maybe charlie sheen wasn't winning, after all. tonight he's talking about his wild times coming up.  >>> the girl friend of the man now known as the causeway killer has hired celebrity attorney gloria allred. she spoke out for the first time in florida yesterday during a press conference. it was said rudy eugene never showed signs of violence during their four month relationship. last month he attacked a homeless man on the side of macarthur highway chewing off most of his face. eugene's ex-girl friend said she wants the publicton what type of man he was to her. >> the care that he expressed to my son, the friend he became to my brother and cousin and the man he was to me will never be f

he thinks applications have to comply with doj policy. is that correct? >> applications have to agree with doj policy? >> that's what he said. >> sure. >> okay. during a transcribed interview deputy assistant attorney general jason weinstein testified that senior officials approving the wiretap applications do not read the wiretap applications. is this practice acceptable to you? >> they read summaries of the applications. that's a process that's been used by this administration and by all previous administration. it's the way in which the office of enforcement -- >> are you aware that federal judges to your knowledge -- >> can i answer my question? >> no, you've given me a sufficient answer considering the amount of questions i have and the amount of time i have. you're okay with that practice. you've already answered that. would you agree senior officials are responsible for documents they sign. i would assume the answer is yes. let me ask you the question. jason weinstein, is he responsible for what is in these wiretaps? >> is he responsible? >> he's t

and so one of these, doj has used this authority in washington, d.c., pittsburgh, los angeles, and a lot of the reforms that have been gained through this, the reforms that the department is seeking to gain, focus on implementing an early warning tracking system. so if there -- one thing that we know about police agencies is that when there's a problem, there's generally a problem with a small number of officers who have repeated instances of misconduct. so if we can implement an early warning tracking system, identify these officers for training, retraining or discipline, that might help our department. we can see how that would also, by making those officers accountable, might also engender some trust and legitimacy among the community. other reforms have involved implementing a fair complaint process. that makes sense. if citizens have complaints about their police department, they should know the proper procedures in order to make a complaint, and they should feel some -- some confidence that those complaints are going to be acted upon in a fair manner. and then there are also ot

because, you know, there are offices in the doj whose specific job it is to carry out the enforcement priorities set by the white house or by the president. and i mentioned president obama's state of the union address earlier this week. recall that he said that he was going to ask attorney general holder to create this new unit of prosecutors to prosecute or to investigate the mortgage lending practices. because one of the major criticisms was that nobody associated with the mortgage lending scandal has been prosecuted up to this point. so, i guess one thing that i would ask is now that the president has made that enforcement priority and actually stated it in the state of the union address, anybody want to take any bets on whether any indictments are going to come down over the course of the next, you know, year or so? i don't know. i think that's where we see it. we see it in, you know, offices at doj like what's called the office of legal policy, which works, you know, with folks on the hill in terms of getting legislation. usually that legislation is a product of enforcement prior

>> applications have to agree with doj policy? >> that's what he said. >> sure. spirit during a transcript in the deputy assistant attorney general jason weinstein testified that senior officials approving the wiretap applications do not read the wiretap applications. is this practice acceptable to you? >> they read summaries of the application. that's a process that's been used by this administration and by all previous administration. it is the way in which the office of -- >> are you aware that federal judges,. >> can answer my question speak with you give me a sufficient answer and considered him a question i have an amount of time i have. you're okay with that practice what you already answered that. so would you agree that senior officials are responsible for doctors they signed? i would assume the answer is yes to let me ask you the question, jason weinstein, is he responsible for what is in these wiretaps? >> is he responsible -- >> he's a responsible officer understand you. easy responsible for them even if you read a summer? >> he did not create those a

things -- there are answers that have not come out from doj in terms of who knew what and when. slow-walking congress on this but the notion this has to involve some sort of constitutional confrontation at this particular moment in time seems a little bit far-fetched. >> congress' rep is so intact. people love them right now. why not. >> if they can hold administration officials in contempt they can't be called a do-nothing congress. >> i thought this was -- let's play representative john mica on fox talking about this, giving credence to the conspiracy notion theory. >> people forget how all this started. this administration is a gun control administration. they tried to put the violence in mexico on the blame of the united states so they concocted this scheme and actually sending our federal agents sending guns down tre and trying to cook some little deal to say that we've got to get more guns under control. >> i love that like this is a gun control administration as if that's like the worst thing you could possibly be. >> first off, full disclosure, my wife has worked in the

the florida secretary of state is giving the doj its own deadline. monday.for voters to remove noncitizens from the voting rolls. the department of state respectfully disagrees with doj position and actions taken by florida to identify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls ensure the right to vote is protected and not diluted by the votes of ineligible persons. >> the problem with the florida effort is that it runs out coun to the law that says you can't do within 90 days of an election. it has been approved in north carolina and georgia doing it via the right way. >> so joining me this morning is the florida secretary of state. nice to see you, sir. thank you for talking with us. appreciate it. you now have a deadline for the doj obstructing your right to hold elections there. you say they are wrong. what do you say to his answer? >> my answer to his statement is that florida has been working on this for over a year now. we've asked the department of homeland security to assist us in making sure our data bases are correct. they held up on that. if we had

the voting rights act of 1965, hence of smackdown from the doj.he first time florida has denied residents the right to vote. the nonpartisan brendan center estimates that florida wrongfully disenfranchised 12,000 qualified voters before the 2,000 election decided by a marge of of 537 votes. only after the election was over did florida admit its effort was flawed. >> a two-year effort to eliminate tens of thousands of voters from the voter elimination list. the state hired a private company to aid fi ineligible voters. and even the company admits, its own list had errors. >> today republican governor of florida rick scott's list of suspected noncitizens stands in total of 182,000 names. also this week, a federal judge blocked the enforcement of key provisions in florida's new restrictive voter i.d. law passed in late 2001. which i should add is separate from the state's attempts to purge its voting rolls of noncitizens. florida's efforts are not unique. 15 states across the country passed new voting laws in past year alone. as many as five million

the doj is currently in an investigation dealing with security leaks. they will release a report that we have to trust is accurate. we need this information. we have to get it out to get a full accounting of what has occurred and when it occurred in by home we can hold people into account. >> the gentleman from missouri is recognized. >> those of us to serve on this committee can get pretty passionate about our responsibilities. we take our duties seriously. we can become so focused on what we originally wanted that we can live side of the point of our inquiry. we've all experienced how our staff will be overzealous in their attempts to help us to the jobs. one may take the time to investigate an allegation and we spend money examining the issue, and naturally we want to see results. we often feel the need to show that we are not wasting our time or the taxpayers' resources. it is not about sticking to the plan a matter how badly goes wrong. successful leaders reevaluate. they recognize when it is time to change course and time to give up a theory. i wa

. >> let's talk about the optics of the doj here.was sort of led by the public integrity section of the doj and it would seem to be a colossal misfire, is it not? it cost the estimates are something like $2 million in government funds, and for what? >> well, look, trial prosecutors win and lose cases all the time. just because they lose a case doesn't mean that a prosecution was ill founded. however, this one was criticized because many, many people who prosecute these cases or have prosecuted these cases who know the campaign finance laws thought this was a real stretch, kind of the outer limits, very aggressive prosecution of the campaign finance laws to say that money, given by somebody to basically hide a mistres to call that a campaign contribution many, many people thought no one, even john edwards, a lawyer himself, would really have been on notice that that would be considered a campaign contribution that needed to be reported on fec filings. actually, the fec itself to this day does not consider it necessary tore report that

doj is recusing themselves from aspects of it. you can see where it gets messy. our goal is determine what is the best force for a fair, impartial and complete investigation. >> last question. [inaudible] >> those are, i'm not going to answer that question here. i don't believe it's an appropriate question right now. i respect your asking it, but that's not what this press conference is about. [inaudible] >> well, they are, you know, if you deal with clandestine activity, and if it's covert activity, which it has a special place, it's all classified. and very few people have access to it, technically. you know, if you notice, i don't believe leaks are coming out of either one of these committees. they are coming from elsewhere. and as the chairman of the house committee was saying, it's only people now have information, which didn't exist that way, the stovepipes are down, information is shared more broadly, well, if this is critical, tactical, covert information, it put lies in risk. puts our allies at risk. and this is what we are concerned about. >> let me jus

you can't steal elections when thee're clean.recently, doj demanded florida halt cleaning voter rollsd. florida is actually &pcomplying wth state and federal law. one sweep found 53,000 dead people registered to vote. cbs news confirmed most notorious voter suppression case occurred when baton-wielding, uniformmd nee black ppnthers acted menacingly toward white voters at a philadelphia precinct in 2008. a federal judgment had already been entered in early 2009 when holder ordered doj to abandon the case.recently, a complete stranger was offeeed holder's ballot because dc doesn'tthave a voter id law. still hooder believes voter id laws are raciit beeause - he claims - many blacks and hispanics don't have photo ids. this brings us to michelle obama's recent book signing in washington, dc. in spite of elaborate security,,customers were required to ubmit their social security number and a photo id. using hooder's logic, michelle obama doeen't want to sign books for blacks oo hispanics.perhaps the white house simply wants to use the private data for thh reelectton campaign.for more headlin

we are part of the case that is brought by doj. do you know that coming in texas, 600,000 already- registered voters do not have state-issued photo i.d.? that means they have been voting, but some has changed the rules on them, changing the rules of the game right before we get ready to get to the finish line. that is not fair. so we also brought a case in missouri could they decided they would put it on the ballot in 2012. and we were able to stop them because their language was a little faulty. and a little untruthful. they call that the voter protection act. i took offense to that because our program is the voter protection program. and they said that getting ideas better protection. no, we won that case. so it will not be on the ballot in november, unless the legislature moves to get new language on the ballot, which they are trying to do. we have a case in pennsylvania with the aclu. one of our plaintiffs is miss alawite. she is a 93-year-old african- american woman who has been voted, as she says, since we could. [laughter] [

that letter was full of factual errors to give the doj the benefit of the doubt.ight say lied. for 10 months later they with drawtd letter. so speaker baron is concerned about alleged lies to congress. mr. holder is not off the hook yet. if the document they get today suggest that there was an intentional attempt to mislead the congress, then we could still see some sort of repercussions for the attorney general. >> absolutely. i think today is very important with the nature of the document that are going to be produced. it's going to be the scope of those documents that will determine where this goes. i don't think anybody should be reading for a moment that the speaker is not willing to proceed with an impeachment and contempt of congress. the fact of the matter is, this is one last chance. i think it as serious chance. with due respect to the attorney general i think he's taking it seriously. the question will be will they comply with a dually authorized the subpoena or won't they. the problem is the letter of february 24. it took months and months for it to be
