bill: are there democrats publicly and actively defending eric holder on this?u go back to the debate there absolutely were, saying, hey, the justice department -- bill: what about now? >> look, when you get 142 of them who are willing to stand up with the republicans and say, justice department, no more game playing, eric holder tell the truth, and we're actually having to make a statement, you can't lie to us with taxpayer money, isn't that an amazing thing to have to go that far. bill: 41 democrats did not vote with this amendment, however. now -- >> correct. bill: you're from arizona. what does this issue, and what does this story mean to the folks that you represent in that state? >> well for those of us in arizona and many of the other border states we are tired. and i get this from republicans, democrats, independents, we are tired of the justice department suing our state. we are tired of the justice department with games like fast and furious, playing games with it. at some point we feel like we are at war with our own federal government. think of the n

eric holder runs the department of justice. here is the question: they've got the draft order.hey going to pursue it? this is, as you say, an election year. this may be something where boehner may have given his approval, but issa wouldn't have done it unless he had the votes. the question is, do they pull the trigger? >> gregg: then it gets litigated and it goes to the court system and it's a collision of interests, executive branch versus the legislative branch. you know what? nothing ever comes of it. >> sad part is, brian terry is dead. the whole file has been sealed. how is it that a homicide file is sealed and why hasn't this case come to trial? is this a ruse to make sure this information doesn't get out before the election? so there are a lot of issues here, but i think that unless and until justice hands over everything that congress wants, it's going to keep going. >> gregg: they're not going to do it. "justice" with judge jeanine, check it out tonight. thanks very much. 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. heather? >> heather: coming up, four core st

the republican leaders on the hill want answers from the attorney general eric holder.the house john boehner said that, quote, all options are on the table with regard to possibly holding the attorney general eric holder in contempt of congress for not complying with an october subpoena connected to the fast and furious investigation. speaker boehner said that on an interview on "this week" and told george stephanopoulos house republicans want to hold everyone at the department of justice and administration accountable for what happened or what didn't happen in fast and furious. in a letter to the attorney general, the house leadership legislative and elationship executive branches must be predicated on honest communications and can not be clouded by allegations of obstruction if necessary. the white house will act to fulfill our constitutional obligations in the coming weeks. but, that is not strong enough for some rank and file members. congressman quail said he thinks the doj will continue to obstruct and the congressman law said nothing short of a contempt citation

bill: what is the basis of it. >> some that involve eric holder directly.hey're political and legal but issues the administration started on their own. they weren't responding to lawsuit or handling something that already existed. this is they decided to take preemptive step. think about the supreme court case just happened. arizona sb 1070. administration filed the lawsuit before the law went into force. issues like the cordray appointment. no regard for article ii or section two or three, calling it recess appointment when there was no recess. there was business being done. won't defend defense of marriage act. they dropped that. look at issues like the border, for instance not going after sanctuary cities, at the same time still going after arizona. the list goes on and on. not responding to the inquiry of "fast and furious". bill: lamar smith is texas republican. he came out with this report. his words were scathing. i want to take them one by one here. "fast and furious." failure to provide documents. >> yeah, listen they have only provided a few thous

is it really eric holder's job to do such a thing?explaining what he said. >> we're privileged to have a partner in beyond this room in a real sense the steward are democracy. that mean' you have a critical responseability to help identify and implement the most effective way to safeguard that most basic of all american rights. you have a thoughtful voice to add to discussions about boarding access. >> andrea: this strikes me as a little bit odd, kimberly. now the attorney general is supposed to be the most nonpolitical person in administration, chief law enforcement officer of the land. holder is incredibly political. but is it his job to address the black preachers? he was joined also by the ac aclu. is this in his job description? >> kimberly: absolutely not. someone should throw a flag. but they act with willful abandon and make up rules as they go along. this is partisan. it's political. it's improper. are they going to go ahead and treat with the same lecture and speeches, et cetera, catholic priests? catholic organizations or o

attorney general eric holder in contempt of congress. he has failed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation into fast and furious the federal gun walking program that attempted to track gun missions in mexico by allowing them to take place. it created a firestorm in congress. daryl issis says holder is putting up road blocks. >> this is very much like what richard nixon dealt with. he said i give you what i want. the president does it's legal. ultimately the courts repeatedly sided that he was wrong, that in fact congress has an obligation. >> the justice department shot back yesterday. deputy attorney again rale james cole responded to iss's charge s a /* -- iss's charge: a's charg >> the owe site committee would have to vote. that would be the next step. one democrat calls this a partisan witch hunt. >>> we haven't heard the last of this one. that is for sure. doug luzader thank you very much. a big escalation in washington. >> it is time to take a look at who is talking now. you the peopamerican people are specifically. >> the poll

eric holder is not going to investigate jp morgan and jamie dimon the way it should be done. we need independent counsel to look into what happened. >> dan, let me come back to you. you're any brilliant economic voice, but a political question. is there going to be an enormous problem for the administration if they don't investigate. there are 1,000 theories of violations, lawyers are going to be sharks with blood in the water. does eric holder have to say we have a serious problem and make someone look at it. >> i think this is complicated. jamie dimon was obama's go-to banker and some of what went on in '08 and '09, obama said i'm going to call jamie. remember when he was out in chicago, he's a known democrat. you see him still kind of love-bombing him. bankers have very thin skin. and something else is going on here, president obama today or yesterday was at a fundraiser of the apartment of someone from the blackstone group. all this famous falling out of wall street and obama and the broken promises and this and that this is still a very important source of campaign cash,

attorney general eric holder and the british justice secretary can of. the mystical thank you for being with us and welcome to welcome to the show well. this is a forum that you attended the st petersburg international legal forum it was the second and since last year. well in this period we're there any practical results that we reached the goal because last year you also talked about many things many topics many many problems was something didn't you during these twelve months between the first well thank you for your interest for for the u.n. because we do believe the international are legal forms and could really become some kind of very comfortable very friendly ground for the lawyers from all over the world to discuss different problems of law practice and just to socialize each other to stablish some long term but it's not i'm sure it's not just a club it's a workshop run of the real absolutely but of course we do believe that establishing your links also why it's a very nice idea and what about comparing this event with there. that happened last

eric holder has been to congress to testify seven times. i'm not sure that he has said very much.'m not sure he has been as revealing and as necessarily hope with this. he holds all the cards here. they had a shuffling at the atf and u.s. attorney general and the u.s. attorney for arizona resigned. there was wrong doing here. he called it a regrettable situation and apologized to the family but we still don't know who in the world thought it was a good idea from the beginning to have the firearms going over the border to mexico to track them to drug king pens. the only place we have found them is next to the body of a dead agent. >> judge jeanine: how do you respond to the fact that eric holder uppishially said he knew nothing and then new nothing and next time said he knew it sooner than he said he knew it. >> that is why he has been there seven times. >> the fact that issa is just seeing the light. >> has it been around since 2006. >> some forms this of but not operation fast and furious. it began in october of 2009 according to the attorney general's own testimony and by march

what did eric holder really know, and what was in his email account when he appeared before congress gress he didn't know anything about it? bill: those are interesting questions. if holder would admit who authorized it, and if he said how high it went up in the department of justice, that issa would back away and would not move forward with this contempt citation is what they are saying. is that true? >> i don't no if that's true, bill, or not. those kind of details of how significant -- or excuse me at what level the subpoena power of the congress -- what level they are willing to take the subpoena power i can't answer that question, but i can tell you that the frustration level is through the roof. and i think congress, and especially darrell issa a, has been extremely patient here -- more patient i think than any federal judge would be with a lawyer in court that refused to fully comply with the subpoena that's been in place for over two years, has owe for sure. bill: this is selfproposed deadline was memorial weekend which is coming up soon and reflecting a lot of what you just s

megyn: his position is it's not eric holder who is political.cks on him that are. >> i don't buy that. i agree with jewel glant sense the attorneys general are often the focal point of political issues. megyn: if you get offered that job, don't take it. >> i think anybody taking the job, including eric holder has a sense of duty to the country. what i do agree with charles krauthammer about is take a look at the voter i.d. issues. we have lawsuits and threats of lawsuits against texas, south carolina, arizona and other states. but the new black panther party who was in front of voting booths with clubs threatening people's lives, they give them a pass. that's a political decision that was made. why would you let that go and not look at that as a voter intimidation issue. but you are worried about someone giving an i.d. julian and i came to a solution that solves this i.d. issue. whether it's a thumbprint or eye print, there are ways to address the voter i.d. issue. there is nothing wrong with showing voter i.d. but from a political standpoint. l

martha: attorney general eric holder coming under fire.tz add that democrats need to man up on this issue. >> this is the test of principle and integrity. when you can't stand up and take on your own party, that's a lack of guts. this congress has to stand up for itself and demand these documents be released. martha: we'll talk to former south carolina governor mark sanford. bill: today could be the day prosecutors wrap up their case against john edwards. there is even more emotional testimony revealing edwards' dying wife elizabeth believed her husband when he said he was not the fighter of reille hunter's child. how will the prosecution wrap up its case? what are the clues you have? >> reporter: prosecutors say they will call three federal agents to the stand. however, they are not planning on calling edwards' mistress. reille hunter not on their final list of witnesses. but the defense could still call reille hunter later on in the trial since she had initially been on both lists for the prosecution and defense. though hunter is central

for instance eric holder you know he's our attorney general some who said look he had botched the fast and furious thing where one border agent got killed and now some are saying there's a cover up do you think he you know if if government were run like a private equity firm do you think he would survive what about harry and of course for three years the republicans have blocked any attempt by the obama administration to have a real budget presented to or passed out of our congress they even recently introduced a budget that they said was the president's budget it wasn't and it was voted down unanimously so the talking heads at fox could claim that the president and harry reid are to blame what about harry reid he hasn't passed a budget as which are the leader of the senate in three years would he still have a job and then there's the famous g.s.a. party. what about the g.s.a. the people who run the g.s.a. in government when you book a smoking clown and a mind reader and then tell everybody you've got to tell the some of the guys to dress up like women and say that's a good morale buil
