the lawmaker who has been spearheading this effort is elijah cummings, on the oversight committee anduffered off the sale your stages of political schizophrenia and is exhibiting this since this came out in the spring. at first represent representative cummings was outraged orphaned outrange. then when the bottom of this was getting closer and closer to potentially politically damaging places, like the administration, this became a witch hunt, in his eyes so he said, it's off. the whole issue is done. let's all pack up and go home. that was in june. that didn't fly. the american people didn't buy that. the evidence wasn't pointing in that direction. so the next stage was to say, look at these new reports that there was targeting on both sides. there's no scandal here. unfortunately that's not true either, because there's a difference between initial screening, which happened to both sides, and targeted abuse. inappropriate targeting, which only happened to the political right, and when the inspector general, mr. george, made that very explicit in rite -- writing, the new tactic is let

>> well, let me say at the outset, uma, i like elijah cummings very much but the last time i checked jay carney works for the white house. you can't say the white house wasn't involved when the spokesperson for the leader of free free world is perpetuating a myth these were two rogue agents in ohio? how do you square that, when the spokesperson for the white house is advancing a demon -- is that in the new defense in this town, that the president himself was involved? nobody has alleged that president obama was involved, but if that's the new standard for propriety, that as long as the president himself was not orchestrating something, that there's no harm there? jay carney works for him. jay carney took it upon himself to advance this false narrative and the notion that you can now claim the white house wasn't involved is just balderdash. it's false, wrong, i would use another word but the fcc would get involved it's just wrong. >> thank you for your remarks. i appreciate it. >> yes, ma'am. >> hoe risk story out of texas. a mother has died after reportedly falling out of the texas g

representative elijah cummings, top democrat on the house investigating committee, you remember in irsa couple weeks ago said we solved the mystery, we know everything, we found out about it, nothing more, everybody move on, nothing to see here. a number of democrats have been trying to proclaim these things over, and they have not been successful. now the president himself is trying to say there's nothing to it. >> you know, i'm curious, there's a lot of thought goes into messaging, writing those scripts. going into the weekend, the story seemed to have longevity to it. is this back firing for the president? now what we are talking about, which scandals, mr. president. >> right. he left it pretty unclear, there are several to choose from, the biggest being the irs, benghazi, nsa surveillance and spying on reporters. you have four right there, varying levels of seriousness. i think we ought to think for the moment that the president does believe these are phony scandals. i am not suggesting he doesn't believe that, he probably does, but i think what you're going to hear from the other

. >> elijah cummings. >> bill: cummings is the point man.ummings, for the white house, i guess, i don't know. try to discredit george. >> think about it he is he saying because he was a republican and was appointed by george w. bush when he was president, that his findings should somehow into not be given full credibility. the government has already acknowledged the wrongdoing and begun disciplining staffers. so, whether or not the inspector general uncovered it is a republican or a democrat or giraffe doesn't matter. the republican chairman of the committee has said they have new testimony, they have interviewed new witnesses who have evidence that issa claims tomorrow will reveal that this goes way higher up in the government, that the irs in d.c. was ultimately calling the shots, even if it did originate in cincinnati. it was taken over by lois lerner and the peru democrats and denying it. >> bill: he has not said to you or anyone else, i don't think, that he can tie it into the white house. not at this point. >> well, what he has said to

elijah cummings was among those giving voice to some of the public dismay. >> it's very, very hard for the public to understand how somebody with skittles and candy against somebody with a gun and that ends up that the zimmerman zimmerman walks away with not even a misdemeanor charge against him found guilty charged against him and then young trayvon is dead. that is hard for people to understand. >> a person who officials had asked not to follow him took a gun and killed him. now that person will get his gun back. george zimmerman will get that gun back. he will be out and i think the notion that the jury is saying to him that if he did the same thing again today or tomorrow or next week or someone else did it, that there would be no punishment is not a great signal to accepted. >> the justice department's going to take a look at this. this is not over with. that's good. this is our system. it's gotten better, not worse. >> i worry about all those young black kids out there that see a system of justice that maybe doesn't respond to them. i think a national dialogue is needed. >> as my

. >>> joining us, elijah cummings, thanks very much for being here. at this hour some of your colleagues are calling for the justice department to take action. as lisa bloom was just pointing out, first they have to decide whether there is a case and whether it is a winnable case. would it not be even more of a problem for many people if they were to pursue a case that they also did not win? >> well, the situation is that there are federal laws, hate crime laws, for example, andrea. possibly violations of trayvon martin's civil rights that need to be looked into. i believe that eric holder and his department will make a thorough investigation and they will make a determination as to whether or not there is a case there and do what the constitution requires them to do one way or the other, and that is to provide justice. so i look forward to that review. i think in a case like th, it is deserving of a review. we'll have to see what happens. i look forward to whatever those findings may be. now they may come back either way but i think at least to have

house oversight chairman darrell issa and top democrat on the committee elijah cummings continue their very public spat over this irs investigation and they have another hearing tomorrow. as for the cherry picking information charge, here is issa's response. >> we think we have interpreted fairly and we believe tomorrow's hearings are going to show that people who actually had these applications and who worked up and down the chain make it very clear this was not a cincinnati decision. it wasn't just -- not just a washington decision. >> there was also congressional hearing today looking into whether small businesses received extra scrutiny from the irs. the acting commissioner told lawmakers there is no evidence of that but says the irs is still reviewing its procedures. >> now, obviously, we have a lot of clean up to do and fixes to do in that area. that also, as part of a check and balances, has led to us now revealing all of the various procedures that i have just outlined. we are now doing special, additional reviews to make sure that there is fairness in the entire life cycle. >>

elijah cummings called the allegations by darrell issa quote askewed account based on incomplete andpicked information and says it disregards evidence that contradict's issa's narrative. does he have a point? >> these groups were targeted back in 2010. think about that. 500 groups approximately. and this went on, we've had two elections pass. this has gone on for four quarters. and i think that darrell issa is doing the right thing. they were mainly targeting republican based groups and they were saying, well did the white house say something this is a low level employee that's gone rogue or whatever? not so much. now we know that we're digging deeper and this does have ties to the white house. now i'm not saying that the white house is doing it. i'm just saying that it's not a lot higher than we knew before when they came out and said it's a low level employee that's gone rogue. >> what do we really know? do we know that something wrong was done here and don't we know for sure that it was both conservative and liberal groups even if what i just said, and i assume you'll make that ar

darrell issa was embarrassed when elijah cummings released all the information about the irs found a number about groups were not just conservative tea party groups were targeted. bill: we'll check the box on nsa for both of you. we'll continue to talk about this. rich, alan, thank you as well. martha? martha: talk about scandals, the white house may have another mess on their hands right now. it involves the president's pick for the number two person at homeland security and questions about a link to hillary clinton's brother. the great outdoors, and a great deal. grrrr ahhh let's leave the deals to hotels.com. perfect! yep, and no angry bears. up to 30% off. only at hotels.com. it fills you with energy... and it gives you what you are looking for to live a more natural life. in a convennt two bar pack. this is nature valley. nature at its most delicious. bill: former new england patriots star player, aaron hernandez due back in court today. he is pleaded not guilty to the murderer of odin floyd, the body of the victim, floyd, was found in an industrial park fleer hernandez's home.

also be looking for signs of tension as chairman darrell issa and the top democrat on the panel, elijah cummings have been engaged in a very public spat over this particular investigation, jon. >> there is also, mike, this revelation that the chief counsel's office at the irs wanted to know about the political activities of some of these groups during the 2010 election cycle. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: certainly that is something that house oversight republicans have been hitting hard, going into this hearing. a key area of focus, and it has also gotten the attention of an attorney representing 41 conservative organizations suing the irs for targeting these groups. >> this issue of the targeting of the irs reached to the highest levels including the office of chief counsel of the internal revenue service, and that is the highest legal entity within the irs and that is a position appointed by the president. so i think there will be a lot of explaining to have to do by the president after this is over. >> reporter: the chief counsel is one of two political appoint eposi

scandals over for the white house to suggest, this is one of several phony scandals for democrats, like, elijahmings, ranking member on the house oversight to basically pretend this has all been solved i think is silly. it plainly hasn't been solved. express's questioning of jack lew yesterday points exactly to that conclusion. it may not be that william wilkins was running this and this was a split political operation but, we don't know that and we don't have enough information to come to that conclusion. we need that information. it is important. it is not a phony scandal. bill: if this, if the house doesn't investigate this story, does it go anywhere? >> no, i don't think so. this is one of the things i think the president and the white house have been working hard to do in the past couple of weeks. they are trying to convince, in effect the washington press corps and chiefly white house reporters that these are all ginned up scandals by partisan republicans. there is really no there there. you heard that in jack lew's answers yesterday. and everybody should really move on. they're trying to

oh a we are dealing with, and what chairman darrell issa is dealing with, is a ranking democrat, elijah cummings, who is very intelligent, capable, and a strong partisan in his own right. he declared about a month ago that this case was closed, so it is difficult to say we are not compliant with talking about liberal groups that were targeted. it is very clear through the dramatic vast jordy of these cases -- it is very clear, though, that the dramatic vast majority of these cases were targeted at tea party groups. wilkins, is william and what role did he play in this? guest: i do not have the fast answer for you. counsele agency's chief . i am asking because of this headline in "the washington post." dubbed "tea party cases." guest: again, we are finding new things out every day in this investigation, and there is a lot that we do not know. this is new information. the real questions are in terms of our document request, the e- and chains, the phone calls interviews -- do they say the same thing that has been written in the newspaper? we have to get to the bottom of that. this case is
