i mean, reagan, bush, bush, have all tried to dismantle and weaken this particular part of the doj.ime the republicans have been in power. when the dems are in power, day troy to weaken it as well. let's be first clear on who debo is. debo is the thurgood marshall of our generation. he's simply the best black civil rights lawyer in the country, maybe the best civil rights lawyer in the country, period. he's a man who has defended the voting rights act twice and hails from the naacp ldf which is the firm, if you will, if any firm could be credited with writing the vra, it is them. the only time we've seen this sort of spurullous, shameful attack before is the last time an naacp ldf voting rights lawyer, in that case, was up to head up the civil rights division of the doj. >> that's right. >> you know, and so we should know this game. and we should not allow ourselves to be, you know, swayed by the bs rhetoric because quite frankly by their standards, john adams would not have become president. john adams defended the british red coats in the boston massacre. >> oh, i got an even more

i think the doj plays a critical role in giving advice to the agency. that advice is authoritative for the agency. i would consider it my duty to make sure that the committees were informed of all intelligence activities. i would also make sure that the information provided to the department of justice and to the legal counsel was accurate and timely and up-to-date. my experience with it, i have interacted many times with lawyers from the agency. my experience has been very positive in terms of always feeling like we get the information that we need to give our advice and we are updated as things change, if that happens to be the case. i think that all of the advice is not useful to a client agency unless the advice is based on the facts as they really are. otherwise, the client agency has an opinion that is addressing a different situation than the one that is truly presented. if i were confirmed, i would make sure that practice would continue the way it has been functioning. i have a good sense of what types of information they need. >> thank you for

i think the doj plays a critical role in giving advice to the agency. for advice is authoritative the agency. i would consider it my duty to sake sure that the committee were informed of all intelligence activities. i would also make sure that the information provided to the department of justice and to the legal counsel was accurate and timely and up-to-date. it, i havece with interacted many times with lawyers from the agency. my experience has been very positive in terms of always feeling like we get the information that we need to give our advice and we are updated as things change, if that happens to be the case. i think that policy advice is not useful to a client agency unless the advice is based on the facts as they really are. otherwise, the client agency has an opinion that is addressing a different situation that is -- then the one that is truly presented. if i were confirmed, i would make sure that practice would continue the way it has been functioning. i have a good sense of what types of information they need. >> thank you for that answer

dozen democratic senators turn on the white house and block this guy from getting a big job at the doj? >> you're with the police officers in a clear case like this or you're not. >>> and then, raising new questions about kathleen sebelius, the white house and some health care claims that are looking a little shaky. >>> and then, busted in the school bathroom. these third graders accused of smoking pot. yes, sthi yes, third graders. >>> all right everybody, developing tonight. we are getting the inside story of why a group of democratic senators broke with the president and shot down a controversial nominee in part because of his links to a convicted cop killer. good evening, everybody, i'm martha mccallum in for megyn kelly on "the kelly file." debo adegbile was nominated to head up the department of the civil rights division. but his was his position on the convicted cop killer, abu jamal was convicted of brutally murdering philadelphia police officer daniel faulkner, shooting him in the back first and later in the face as he stood over this young, dying lawman. and while a half doze

plus, new fallout after obama gets a hit on the doj job. see why our guests say this is a huge wake-up call for the white house. and then, they're calling it the start of the christie comeback. we're live with the big developments at cpac on "the kelly file" right now. >>> and breaking tonight, allegations of racism and oppression as democrats demand the powerful republican looking for answers in the irs scandal lose his job. welcome to "the kelly file" everybody, i'm megyn kelly. democrats are fired up over the democratic chair darrell issa and how he handled the hearing on the targeting of conservative groups. issa adjourned the hearing without his democratic counterpart to speak. challenging this exchange yesterday. >> let me say what i have to say. i've listened to you for the last 20 minutes. >> ms. lerner, you're released. >> but first, i would like to use my time to make some brief points. for the past year, the central republican accusation in this investigation -- >> we're adjourned. close it down. >> directing -- against the white

. >> the fbi and doj's refusal to assist the state in the background checks seems contra contrary. >> reporter: here's what the doj is saying, this is all they're saying: now regulators in colorado today tell me that fbi background checks are part of their vetting of the marijuana industry, the medical marijuana industry for seven years now. colorado voters have approved recreational marijuana. those newcomers to the business are veteranned in the same process and the people in colorado tell me that the fbi are involved in those checks as well. in washington say they'll continue to take fingerprints from everybody who applies. they'll keep those finger points at some point the fbi will be able to use them to do national background checks as soon as someone from the doj decides exactly how to handle this. >> so it looks like the burbs are out, the cities are in. ali velshi joins us now. good friday to you. why are people chose to go live in urban areas? >> this is a city boy question. >> yes. >> ridership on public transit in america last year hit it's highest level since the 1950s. th

doj and the fcc look at all the different markets. any emerging party is going to affect. r point what you brings out is that there are facts that will be put before the agencies and the agencies will consider the effect on the relevant markets. >> maybe this is more responsive. when you are doing antitrust, you look at what the efficiencies are and the benefits that come from the transaction and you balance those against competition. the benefits of the transaction goes to the scale. then you balance that against the reduction of competition. that is kind of a high-level way and try trust -- antitrust looks at the transaction. it is located at different points of the analysis. >> thank you for that, rebecca. i want you to join with me in thanking this panel. they were extraordinary. [applause] >> shortly after world war ii, in a series of growing international tensions and increased espionage activity, the department of state became convinced that a military guard that willneeded guarantee the security of the foreign establishments around the world. students talk about th

the main lawyer at the doj who drafted many of those documents is now a law professor at the universityeley. the guy who literally signed the memos, assistant attorney general at doj at the time is a federal judge. yeah. he got a promotion. white house chief counsel alberto gonzalez who's said to have signed off on the details day-by-day. mr. gonzalez is back in private practice. he teaches courses in, well, the constitution and separation of powers. because irony. as for the cia lawyers who initiated all of that authorization of torture, one just wrote a book about his 30 years doing legal work at the cia. some of the others are still at the cia. some are defending the aftermath of these activities during the bush era. it's that aftermath the senate intelligence committee is seeking to unravel. this past tuesday, that's when we saw on the senate floor that long, detailed and sharply critical speech from the normally cia friendly chair, the senate intelligence committee, senator dianne feinstein. she held the floor for 40 minutes and admonished the cia. for literally trying to cover up

for the cia and out to doj, the investigation will hopefully give us a little transparency and insightnto what actually transpired here and who possibly gave orders to whom to do what. so i think there's still a lot of questions to be answered, but at the same time, i think that the transparency issue with this report, i do, myself, believe that there should be something released to the public to be able to decide for themselves how they want to view this because it doesn't matter what the conclusions are of congress and the agency, they will continue to differ. and i think this is all going to come up to public opinion. >> this is what's so striking to me. what i'm hearing from you is the agency believes that the torture program, i want to use that word because other people have given up on using it. the torture program that was implemented during the bush era, that was an effective program. and to this day, we are having a fight in 2014 despite the 2 elections we've run since then. that agency still believes that torture was effective. that they ran a good torture program. and that i

so it's pretty clear on the criminal side which the doj is investigating. it's on the civil side, larry, that a lot of people are looking at this and saying wait a second. gm is getting off the hook, not having to pay for these claims. >> look, i'm no expert on this, but just reading about it, phil, listening to your reports, some of these ignition switch problems can be traced back to 2003 models? >> right. >> the bailout was, what, 2009? do i have that right? >> right. >> how they worm out of that, something that occurred six years before the new gm emerged? >> well, a lot of people are asking that question. they're saying, look. did they know about this when they went through the bankruptcy process with the federal government? and if they did know about this, why didn't they disclose this? that's a gray area at this point. now, general motors so far hasn't said much, which is understand building given the fact that they're under a criminal investigation. but i suspect, larry, that as we have the criminal investigation unfold with the doj as well as the c

going to be investigated any further and in which everybody has been cleared, at least as far as the doj, the fbi and now the local prosecutors are concern. david boeri, senior reporter at wbur radio in boston. thank you for helping us understand this tonight. i appreciate you being here. >> you're welcome, rachel. >> it will be interesting. think about who was there when the shooting happened. one agent. he was the shooter who cleared ibragim todashev. two massachusetts state troopers. one outside the apartment when the shooting happened, the other inside apartment texting "who's your daddy" presumably to his friends in massachusetts and having a great old time having stopped his recording literally five minutes before the guy is shot. is the massachusetts state police ever going to investigate its troopers' role in this killing? are they ever going to look into this in massachusetts or is massachusetts going to continue to pretend like this is somebody else's scandal? we'll be right back. >>> in 2008, in colorado, antiabortion activists decided they were going to try to get a constitut

it will have to come through doj. at this point should be disqualified. >> what's the chance eric holder -- >> go ahead. >> what's the chance eric holder will actually follow through with that? >> zero. i don't think the department of justice is institutionally capable of doing this. they part in charge of the investigation a lawyer who was a maximum donner to the obama campaign. i don't think, gretchen, it's reality. i think what we need is a special counsel, special prosecutor. we're finding out with e-mails released, just ones released in the last few weeks, we're seeing this went up a lot higher than lois lerner. she was certainly engaged at a high level but from chief counsel's office to lois lerner talking about regulation rewrites off plan. when you look at that and realize what you're dealing with, off plan, that's basically so nobody can know what's going on. i think the reality is this is pointing much higher up the chain than lois lerner. she either should get immunity to testify or be held in contempt. >>

here is another one doj information. and joe says . . .orace, do you think the intent was for the public to have access to this type of classified information that ryan is seeking? >> it is not clear that that is the case at all, i would settle for access to information from the epa, access from the hhs, all manner of regulatory agencies, of the department of commerce that presently aren't able to say that the information they are denying the public is information that is somehow classified. or threatens national security, but i do belief the act was never contemplated as a tool to make it possible for people who have not been cleared and had special access granted to classified information to be able to achieve that. >> ryan right now you have about 700 in motion. and your dissertation has been declared a national security threat. >> sure. if i may respond to horace first. i agree that it was never intended to be a means to obtain properly classified information. however the drafters understood it was an attempt to get overly classified m

i would say with the doj program with 106 banks in category 2 that should be a very good indication, very helpful to fulfill the standard that the 606 banks have aided and abetted i hope you should get tons of accounts. >> you hope but in terms of your bank you are not one of the 606. you are one of the 14 not covered. >> not covered by the program. >> so you cite the program relative to two or 300 other banks that have signed up in those banks don't have to provide the information. >> the 14 it will apply anyway. the 14 in category 1 in the doj process i think they will facelle a standard for the treaty anyway so we should have the 14, we should have a 106. >> that they are not covered. we don't know for sure. >> i'm pretty convinced. >> you are hoping. >> yes. >> okay, we do too. i think it's clear but whether we are talking about the program which doesn't apply to the 14 banks or to the treaty itself they do not give us the names of account holders prior to 2009. is that correct? >> that's correct mr. chairman. >> so we can't collect taxes owing from those folks which is what the

the doj to civil rights division is in the final stages of finishing its own investigation that also is expected to clear the agent of any wrongdoing. however there is another independent report being conducted by a florida prosecutor in the state attorney's office the state attorney said that the report is not necessarily expected to be the key he said. and all screenings are expected to be released next couple of days. at this point we know that our cell phones don't provide the most secure form of communication as intelligence agencies across the globe are collecting and storing dramatic day that made me now and snoopy to the list of devices that can happen to your file. about the cartoon dock. if this new beat pedro neck and steal all the contents from about the tummy makes the wireless network to connect with the phone and then has access to everything from your banking passwords you address book to your highest score on what's different. he's in danger when wilkinson says he is an ethical hacker and create been drawn to point out some of the weaknesses and cell phone technology

however, the competition and the local level of four players going at three, that's something the doj historically has taken a difficult stance with. and we think that focus on today is going to have to make an argument that either he's providing new competition in the fixed wire line broadband space by offering a wireless blonde band to the home and rural areas or that he's going to bring in a partner, i.e. company like dish or internet providers to come in and lease capacity on his network and provide a new fourth competitor in the market. that partner would be -- >> sorry, what's the -- >> partner would be critical to get the deal done. >> sorry. what's interesting is his comments on why he thinks they should merge. he has been quoted as saying every time i make a business trip to the u.s., i'm reminded how terrible connections are there and the u.s. is one of the highest mobile. basically, he's saying the merger is the only way to raise u.s. broad backhand mobile network to the level of its counterparts in europe and japan. what do you think of that? >> well, you know, as i said,

the doj has not granted immunity. spokesman for commit republican says the revelations show there is a clear contradiction between refusing to testify based on a supposed fear of prosecution and talking to the prosecutors. others say learner is in contempt of congress. >> she is once again pleading the fifth. immediately we should have moved to take action to hold her in contempt of congress and i think it's really unconscionable that a person given a six-figure taxpayer-funded pension refuses to answer the questions of the american people. >> reporter: on friday the irs agreed to turn over additional documents and e-mails pertaining to learner and the investigation of alleged targeting. gregg, back to you. >> all right. elizabeth prann, thanks very much. let's go live now to the conservative political action conference. it's an annual meeting and the keynote address is being delivered by former alaska governor and, of course, gop vice presidential candidate sarah palin. moments ago they just showed a -- i don't know,

as a complete meltdown analysts have not moved the numbers but if this does accelerate in the dot -- doj can prove it knowingly did this then it is a new thing. then gm could be in a complete mess. neil: if you could have countless other injuries you are talking a lot of money but also what you are talking is one headache after another. what do you look for when you see ifhereas a tter o deit? >>ow wh cgresonal arin the wi be tking an oath that is when people will listen this guy did it. not me. of us. engineer for the kobolds -- he said it was a business decision for that cobolt not to implement a fix and five months later it was sold to the person who perished e ohe ds. neil: but th has happened before and before with date claim that you should have linked them together you were in the process to say there is a link? that will be decisive. >> garett is that is why we could have conversations. this is just my opinion it will headed a different direction there is already an announcement the justice department is looking into this and that is scary for those ceos or program managers. neil

doj it is expecting to face federal criminal charges related to the blast. the filing says the charges will focus on the utility's past practices that violated the act. included are pipeline management. the city manger is grateful the usdoj took the case seriously. >> we hope that it means as i said, some level of closure. and we hope that it means that there is a demonstrated had holding of pg&e accountable for the negligence that resulted in the disaster here. >> reporter: in a statement this afternoon, pg&e says it does not believe criminal charges are merited and that it its employees did not intentionally violate federal guidelines. clearly if the federal government filed criminal charges it's saying it can prove criminal intent and acts. if pg and e is found guilty, experts say the company is likely to face a fine. >>> new details now in the tragic death of a u.s. marine who just arrived home from afghanistan, the driver accused of hitting and killing that marine who was on a motorcycle is now facing murder charges. that suspect today before a judge in
