the head of the election crimes branch of the doj said citizens united is not a problem.it is the law, so i'm not aware of any effort or heart of any effort to fix a problem from citizens united will stop while republicans continue to promote their unfounded allegations, they overlook the funding -- funneling of dark money into elections. 501(c) four organization's are not barred from participating in the campaigns that they state clinical activity must be an insubstantial part of the activity, less than 50%. taxe groups can gain exemption as a 527 organization, but that would require them to disclose their donors rather than keeping american people in the dark about where they're getting their money. anonymoustedly said, money in politics disrupt the democratic ross is will stop that's why ranking member cart right introduced the open and act which would require organizations to disclose clinical funding to shareholders. this legislation will shine a light on the dark money funneling -- funding clinical activity. i commend chairman leahy and jnator udall for advancing as

>> no, i do not. >> and i also wanted to say, during the transcribed interviews of the doj witnesses, committee staff asked about that october 2010 meeting, the chief of doj's public integrity section had the following exchange with committee staff. at the october 8, 2010 meeting, did you or anyone else from the department of justice suggest to irs employees that they should fix the problem posed by citizens united decision? . and the question was, in your opinion, does the citizens united decision pose a problem? the answer was, it is not my role to comment on the law of the land. it is the law of the land. my job is to enforce the law, citizens united is the law of the land. that was the answer that was given. deputy attorney general cole, do you agree that citizens united is the law of the land and that it is doj's role and responsibility to enforce that law? >> yes, it is. to enforce the other laws that are involved in that area. >> all right. >> now, the director of the election crimes branch of the doj's public integrity section was asked about citizens united during his intervi

the doj understands that.f you look at other cases like, straight, for example, former national security agency whistleblower, given 13 counts of espionage and then in the end, he'd be it and be them down to one count. handling classified information. they draw them into a long, extended drawnout process. you may win it, but you don't get all those years back. responsibilities to the organization i am running, to my family, so i have been advised not to go to the united states. i think that is good advice. >> finally, where we are here in the ecuadorian embassy, you described it as a kind of space station. can you describe it for us, how you live here 24 hours a day? >> it is a space station in the sense that i am sealed from the outside world and natural light. therefore, have to create my own cycle of light like you do in space. it is -- >> so you have a light machine? >> yes. being in an embassy is actually, in some ways, a national security reporter stream because there's no subpoenas to an embassy. the br

. >> in 1998, you sited doj figures 300 as of 1998. >> these are are three different studies the first one by doj the other one involved the same person but with different methodologies used and that's why the different numbers . i see but that does not indicate that there was no growth in the number of -- >> there was growth but actually -- >> it may or may not have been 300. >> it's more. it was more than that. >> well, okay. all right. well, so that's a modest assessment. 3300 as of 98. that was 300 more than in 1983. between 1998 and 2008, that ten year period saw a rise to 4,450 according to your -- >> the 1998 figure which i explain in there is not a reliable figure because it did not follow the methodology. >> so you think it was higher. >> it was much higher. >> okay. >> the doj methodology which i used and which has been my e-mail told to me by the person conducted it that i used the same methodology that doj did. we explained it to crs and they followed that. but what happened in 1998, they not break particular statutes down into the various crimes within one's statute. they

let me also add, the "wall street journal" also had a source in the doj that said the doj probably wasn'tng to bring charges against lois lerner. you can't trust the doj. >> i don't know why the media just looks the other way. congress is sort of aggressive on this. not wholly. i would be be a lot more aggressive investigating. this and the attorney general isn't interested in it. and the president calls it a phony scandal. we have got a woman who we know lied with a planted question. >> and says there is not a smidgen of corruption. >> that's the president. and we know that she is trying to subvert congress' duty to oversee what is going on at the irs by telling basically everyone to hide things in their emails. >> right. i want people to know this isn't going to go away. it's never going to go away. until we get to the bottom of it. between the oversight committee, between the house ways and means. this is going to continue on. and, don't forget. some the greatest number of visits at the white house were by high irs officials. we will get to that. i firmly believe what we should do gret

the two sides started far apart, citigroup, offer, $360 million was met with the doj's counter offerf $12 billion. but the two faced off in the form of benghazi. yes, that benghazi. the "new york times" reported that the very day they announced the lawsuit led the federal prosecutors to conclude that the headlines would overshadow the citigroup case. the subsequent delay resulted in a deal, one priced at $7 billion. while the attorney general certainly showed bargaining skills here, no criminal charges against the city employees were part of the agreement, although today it did not preclude them from making them in the future. as for the deal, the stock rose in a better than anticipated quarter. the bank made a $9.3 billion profit for the quarter. today's deal and the $13 billion agreement reached with j.p. morgan chase in november would appear to be evidence that the doj is finally taking big banks to task for their misconduct. >> city is not the first financial institution to be held accountable by this justice department and it certainly will not be the last. >> next in the doj's

the doj investigation is being led by a large presidential donor. we are not waiting on the doj to act. there will be a hearing on july july 11. i do not think any of the litigants on the civil side of this are waiting for the doj to do anything. charles: a peculiar disappearance of e-mails, could that be the smoking gun anyway? >> it is a matter of law. it can cause you to win a claim in court. it is a smoking gun. now, if it was done and the evidence shows it was done intentionally, then we are talking criminal sanctions here. charles: good luck. please come back. keep us up to date. the american public wants to know what is going on. >> absolutely. any time. when you buy insurance to protect yourself or your business from a hacking attack, we have an insurance provider with us after the break. ♪ charles: knocking america out of the tournament. this is our world cup coverage. ♪ ♪ charles: checking the big board. virtually unchanged. a big number from adp this morning. time now for your morning gold report. gold still hanging in there pretty good.

and in 1998, you cited doj figures of 3,000. >> one was by doj, the first one. and the other involved the same person but different methods were use and that is why the different numbers. >> i see. but it doesn't indicate there was no growth in the number -- >> there was growth but -- >> it may or may not have been 300. >> it was more than that. >> that is a modest assessment. 3300 as of 98. and between 1998-2008 that 10-year period saw a rise for 44, 050. >> the 1998 figure isn't reliable because it didn't follow the method -- >> you think it was higher? >> it was much higher. >> the doj i used by e-mail told to me by the person who conducted it. we explained that method to crs and they followed that. but in the 1998, they didn't break particular statutes down into the various crimes within one statute. they simply counted the statutes. >> i see. and between 2008-2013 you say there is an addition 303. it puts us according to the report close to 5,000. and it looks like 1983-2008 was an ex explosion in the number of human beings we have implies in the country. a

use the same methodology doj did. we explain the methodology to crs to basically followed that but what happens in 1998, they did not wait particular statutes to the various crimes within one statutes. they simply counted the statutes. >> so between 2008 and 2013 you cited additional 403. >> that is the crs report and the skewed years 2008 with 195 crimes. >> it puts us according to the reports close to 5,000 offenses and it marks like from 1983 through 2008 was an explosion in the number of human beings we have in prison in this country. at the same time we have had the growth of i would say the conservative movement in the country which has called for less government, less taxes, which when you put on top of that fact that you are needing more prisons, more jail space, more prisons, you have seen a growth in the private prison industry. and in fact, 1983, 2,013, close to 5,000, 1984, it should be noted, is when the corrections corp. of america, which is the largest private prison for profit corporation, that is the

doj did not receive any additional information. we have continued to cooperate with the investigation. since mid-june, we are produced of the oversight committee more than 100,000 pages of documents and made witnesses available for interviews with regret would -- with congressional staff. five of those interviews have artie occurred. there are three briefings for congressional staff, including one for the congressional committee. i have testified at for hearings, including this one today. i would be happy to take your questions. >> thank you. i will turn to the gentleman from florida. >> good morning, commissioner. are you aware that you currently are under investigation by the justice department regarding your role in in determining when to produce lois lerner's e-mails? >> i am not aware of investigation. i did see the deputy attorney general's statement that he was interested and would be interested in why we have not provided new information in april as opposed to june. i have not received any notice of an investigation. >> he

one was by doj, the first one. the other one involved the same person, but there were different methodologies used, and that's why the different numbers. >> i see. but that does not indicate that there was no growth in the number of offenses. >> oh, there was growth. >> may or may not have been 300. >> no, it was more. it was more than that. >> well, okay. all right. well, so that's a modest assessment. 3300 as of '98. that was 300 more than in 1983 and then between 1998 and 2008, that ten-year period saw a rise to 4450 according to your -- >> the 1998 figure which i explain in there is not a reliable figure because it did not follow the methodology. >> so you think it was higher? >> it was much higher. >> okay. >> the doj methodology which i used and which has been by e-mail told to me by the person who conducted it that i used the same methodology that doj did, we explained that methodology to crs and they basically followed that but what happened in 199 , they did not break particular statutes down into the vari

we surged doj and criminal investigators for that purpose. we have need to stem the tide. >> i think that -- i know in 2006 we had a brazilian crisis and provided mandatory detention and it worked. i think the administration needs to look at that. i think the national guard -- i know dod doesn't like that option. if they could help with the influx and allow border patrol to do their job on the border, i think that would be helpful as well. in the limited time i have i want to focus on what i think could be a very good solution to this problem in addition to deterrence. you and i talked about this issue. it has to do with mexico. and mexico's cooperation with the united states. they are allowing this to happen in their country. the drug cartels are exploiting the children. we know that the mexicans southern border is completely wide open. i know that we have offered assistance to mexico that to date i don't know whether that has been accepted but my information is that it is not -- has not been. i would like to commit my efforts to work with y

would that be something that would be subject to investigation by the doj? >> as i have said, that will be part of our looking at the e-mails, all the things that surround it. >> so the fact that the commissioner of the irs didn't tell you months until months later, that troubles you? >> we're going to be finding out what happened -- >> does that trouble you? >> not until i find out all the facts, congressman. >> if it's true, does that trouble you? >> i need to find out -- >> you are afraid to say it troubles you? >> i don't deal with hypotheticals. >> all rightme. i'll yield back. >> gentleman from nevada is recommendsed. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me say on the outset i still find it astounding the lack of the courtesy that the chairman continues to show to mebs of this committee, the fact that members continue to not receive equal time, that the chair interrupts members during our time. the fact that you badger witnesses and make judgments upon employees and their motivations without any evidence. i think all of this does a disservice to the role of

i believe doj is decades overdue in making some of this go away. >> thank you. mr. portnow? >> yeah. what i think is clear is that consent decrees as currently written don't result in fair outcomes for songwriters and should be modified and recording academy will be filing our comments directly with doj on this issue. >> okay. and my time left, does anyone else want to respond? yes. >> i'll add because i deferred, i think that this is a situation much like that that sports faced when john kennedy introduced the sports marketing act of '61. allowed, baseball, basketball, football, hockey to work together, owners, referees, players, in order to license. we face an extraordinary time here where people are sharing the content in the main to get around licensing and where people are sharing it's appropriate to allow the industry to work together to address that for licensing purposes. so i would lean toward more freedom with regard to those consent decrees. >> thank you. >> please don't forget, the licensees are the ones that benefit the most from the collective license and so wh

critics say the doj has done nothing to help in unveiling these e-mails. can't congress do something about that? can't there be more calls? >> there will be but the doj is held by eric holder and he is an obama follower. if the head of the doj says there is no corruption and president obama don't believe there is corruption what is there to look into it? first they need to acknowledge maybe something possibly went wrong here, which the department of justice and president obama don't seem ready to acknowledge, and then there will be an investigation. but the justice department isn't forthcoming and isn't cooperating with the republican-led representatives. >> a houston group is in the middle of this now and it will be a busy week unfolding next week. >>> as we have been talking about the last couple days, shocking new developments in a traging case that shocked the nation where a toddler died in the back of the hot car and disturbing details about the father's online activity that means he could now face the dealt penalty. >> and the immigration crisis play

to be able to avoid a civil suit by the justice department and it made this settlement because the doj accused the bank of packaging bad mortgages, bundling them into investments right during the run-up to the financial crisis. these loans were made up of mortgages that just shouldn't have been written in the first place and those actions the doj says made it so people lost their homes, investors were duped, it hurt endowment and pension funds, it hurt municipalities and charities as well. in this settlement, what they are doing is agreeing to put a big chunk to help consumers, some homeowners with city mortgages, they could wind up seeing the amount of their loans reduced or they could have their interest rates reduced. there's also going to be financing provided for affordable apartments which could help to keep rents low, details of that assistance is still coming in. citi only agreed to provide this help until the end of 2018. >> i was going to ask you what about people who lost their homes. >> that's what we want to find out. if they are going to backtrack to all those people who

doj volley of 12 billion.hat actually is where the revenue picture did improve. cfo in june said he was expecting markets' revenues down 25% because of the volatility around russia and ukraine through the second quarter. because that eased, he said on a media call moments ago, that improved. revenues in trading down 15%. europe hit the weakest. that's what's lifting financials today. a lot of people expecting the second quarter to have been so bad for markets, it was going to hurt the banks across the board. but down 15%, that apparently better than expected. >> good news. the international exposure's a big one when it comes to citi. thanks for running us through the details. let's get more insight on citi and the markets this morning. key owneriearnings reports out, jpmorgan, goldman sachs. david katz with mate tricks assea advises are. is this an inflection point. >> a surprisingly good quarter. cautious on citi but today's earnings a nice step up, $7 billion settlement putting another overhang behind them.

doj did not receive any additional information. since releasing our june report, we have continued to cooperate with the investigation. since mid-june, we have produced to the over sight committee more than 100,000 pages of documents and made witnesses available for interviews with congressional staff. five of those interviews have already occurred. our deputy chief information officer has given three briefings for congressional staff, including one for the oversight committee, and as noted, i have testified at four hearings, including the one today. this concludes my statement and i would be happy to take your questions. >> thank the jenltalman. i'll turn to the vice chair of the committee. >> thank you, mr. chairman. good morning, commissioner. mr. koskinen, are you aware that you currently are under investigation by the justice department regarding your role in determining when to produce lois lerner's e-mails? >> i'm not aware of an investigation. i did see the deputy attorney general's statement last week before this committee

it was basically doj representing health and human services.ho are they relying on for their facts? oh, the fda? maybe the fda didn't know what it was saying. according to fda approved proper labels a copper iud works by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting into the uterus. plan b may inhibit implantation in the lining of the uterus. and ella may work by preventing implantation. the science sounds pretty clear, perhaps the justices should have ignored all that and relied on agenda driven pundits. or perhaps they should think a bit more, before trying so hard to mislead and divide us. joining me now, chris steigerwald. you know, it's like they try one misrepresentation and when they get called out on it, they try another. >> i don't know how you expect me to follow an introduction like that. >> i'm perfectly fine. >> you see my point, they want to pretends that these drugs are all about stopping the sperm and the egg from making a happy union. there's nothing that would get rid of a fertilized egg, that's much dicier. yes, there is. the f

the doj is going to send deputy attorney general james colt to testify on the hill today a little less than four hours from right now. >>> peter doocy in washington. peter doocy, thank you so much. a time for a look at who is talking. the editor for new york times jill abram son she is speaking out about working with the obama administration. listen to this. >> i have never dealt with an administration where more officials, some of whom are actually paid to be the spokesmen for various federal agencies, demand that everything be off the record. so that is secretive and not transparent. >> abramson then went on to talk about the possibility of her gender and whether or not that played a role in her firing. >> what i do think broadly is that definitely women in leadership roles are scrutinized constantly and sometimes differently than men. >> now to some extreme weather. a flash flooding after heavy thunderstorms on the campus of byu in idaho. >> look at that rain right there. also a hail storm hitting idaho. the water was a foot high outside of the buildings there. >> maria molina has w

the reason judicial is watch is taking this to court, that the doj lawyer, made 12 donations to obama for america between 2008 and 2012. if you add up all her donations to obama and dnc from 2004 to 2012, $6850. lois lerner quote, i was cautioning folks about email and we had several occasions where congress asked tore emails and there has been electronic search for responsive emails. we need to be cautious what we say in emails. lerner then inquired about an irs instant messaging system to see if those internal conversations are backed up. she was told, they are not, unless one party involved presses save. lerner's response to that? quote, perfect. the oversight committee chairman darrell issa's response, this is a smoking gun. >> this is lois lerner clearly cautioning people not to say things on email and being delighted to find out that the local instant chat that they have, this microsoft product, wasn't tracking what they said. so that they could do this instant messaging back and forth at the irs without any audit trail. >> reporter: on the hill there are democrats still defendi

. >> admiral kirby confirmed this at the doj briefing. he said this is one of the most sophisticated pieces of machinery used. highly doubted that without russian support that this could be launched the way it was on top of which it would take our troops here probably six months of thorough training six months at a minimum to get it going. why so careful when it comes to connecting the dots? >> we will continue to make clear that that as russia a, you know, engages in efforts that are supporting the separatists, that we have the pat capacity to increase the cost imposed on them. we don't see a u.s. military role beyond what we have been already doing in working with our nato partners and some of the baltic states, giving them reassurance as that we are prepared to do whatever is required. >> as you look around the president started picking up the phone started talking to some european leaders hoping to get them as aggravated as we are. 289 people dead. 80 okids on board including 3 infants. you think a phone call to angela merkel would an

of this go to consumer protection, consumer payments, and then the larger part of it will be dade to doj with some pay out to state attorney generals. i'll be curious to watch what the numbers--i think they've argued their crisis through countrywide and that argument carries some wait, but i don't think it's going to be as high as matt has mentioned. i think it's too early to tell, but certainly cit, and b of a, you have to keep in mind all the bailouts, all the assistance i in 2008 and 2009 were fundamentally about citi and b of a. this is really about these two banks. i think these are the two most significant in terms of moving forward. >> out of money what will the government be trying to get out of the settlement in bank of america as we look forward to the next steps. >> i don't have any special information about that. i agree with mark again that citi and bank of america are truly the two most disturbing institutions around, the fact that they continue to around at all where they probably were insolvent multiple times is itself a problem. i want to bring up a different possibiliti

one of the committee staffers said the committee is going to, quote, take a look at what the doj is or't doing. what does that mean? what's the plan? >> at some point, after you've produced -- and i brought my props. but this is all about the targets of conservatives, not progressives, for their political beliefs. this is a pretty definitive document on lois lerner. and there's more to be done. this is separate from the indictment referral. now we have to ask, how long will the justice department not take on this case? my ranking member elijah cummings continues to say this case is over and has been saying it for more than a year. but it's amazing that until the justice department actually does a criminal investigation, hopefully with a special prosecutor, the american people aren't going to believe for a moment that, in fact, nobody's at fault here, this was just an accident, some rogue people in cincinnati as lois lerner and the president would have had you believe. >> so what can you do to push the doj or to dig into what they are or aren't doing? >> we actually think the pressure o
