taking him out of the position and john carney did great work showing the chairman and the ceo rolesher what that means for the company and better performance over one-year and three-year time frames and the stock would get hit. 250,000 employees so it's not one person makes the difference between winning or losing but as far as outperformance and being nimble, this guy has been all of that plus he wants "a" players. >> he has a bench of "a" players. >> he does. >> not so much the people but the myth. >> a lot of "a" players in there or the players right below him have left. >> a lot of them will continue to leave if they split that role. >> they have talent. >> always a lot of betting. think about that. right? mixing of the chairs. thif a very good mix of business so that they're diversified and my goodness, they don't hold a candle to the balance sheet and that's not just jamie dimon. >> you didn't consider the fact of, you know, if they vote no, he may say, i go. right? there's always that floated out there that maybe that would happen down the road potentially. >> yep. i agree, j

carney argued that it was more style choices whatever, but the fact is that they, in fact, did not go in there and rip everything apart like the republican want to-- >> johnt mr. carney said it was one detail about what kind of building the attack was waged on and reality it was something more involved then than thanksgiving. >> but it's still not the cover up that they want it to be. >> john: i know it's not but it looks like he lied. >> first of all the g.o.p. are so upset about the loss of four american lives but won't lift a finger for the hundreds of americans lives that are dying every day to gun violence. maybe newtown should newtown school name should be changed. it's more to whether it was a film or al-qaeda terrorist attack, but the fact people don't like us over there. maybe we should address that. >> john: and the fact that we went to war to get rid of gadhafi, and the fact is they don't care about these four people. they are exploiting these four deaths. they had 3,000 deaths they exploited to go into iraq. >> that's what politicians do. why was lincoln shot, because it was friday or john wilkes booth could not hack it as an actor. >> john: i

john carney is following the story for us. great to see you.is it and how will it work in light of the challenge the company's been going through lately? >> we've all known bloomberg has a new service, very big terminal service. but what most people didn't know is that they have an online wealth management business as well. they have registered this business as an investment advisory business with the sec. and it's basically a lot like some of the sites you see, betterment.com, where they're offering traditional wealth management services, but online for probably less than what you might pay somebody, say a financial adviser from merrill lynch, which brings up the conflict. here they are, their biggest customers are wall street and they're going into a very core wall street business. and a lot of people are pretty surprised about it. >> john, at the end of the day, though, the story is no doubt overshadowed by the current issue that bloomberg is emersed in. >> it actually feeds into that story a little bit. because a lot of people are saying, w

john kerry and jay carney have called on iran to release the pastor. neghmeh says it will have more force coming from the president. >> up next, inside a romanian gypsy village, poverty is ramped but how one group is reaching out for hope. pa pass... >> well, for much of the 20th century, romania suffered under nt of e h rule of a dictator seg population, however, liberty and prosperity remain just a dream. ephraim graham shows us, countries gypsies are experiencing a wealth money can't buy. >> rodia is eight miles from the border with hungary. city streets are as busy as any european city at rush hour. >> you would expect them to be moving forward. >> a lesson learned for kevin roy after years of mission work. >> so many of the gypsy communities haven't moved forward. >> in gypsy village of soart, they have spent generations away from society. >> they would follow immediate needs, but then be unable to see the prospective. >> this is the poorest in the area. homes behind me are made of mud brick. not sturdy. this is an area where children don't have t

. >> andrea: during the jay carney press conference. >> john: who took the peanut butter? etting hammered on benghazi. he got a question on the irs. he actually looked relieved. but no one died. this is a huge deal. >> juan: this is a huge deal. we disagree on benghazi, but i this, you do not want the government targeting people because of their politics. a lot of the tea party stuff comes from people who use letters, mail order letters to fund-raiser. some of that stuff can get uneasy. remember this is an admission from the irs is that they are looking for people with tea party in the name, patriots in the name. that is political agenda. >>> they are against profiling now? >> i'm against profiling. >>> we knew the department of homeland security have targeted right wing groups. 300 groups were singled out because of their name. i think it should make everybody nervous because the irs is going to handle obamacare. >> kimberly: i don't feel good about it. >> andrea: directly ahead jailhouse confessions that allegedly raped three women in cleveland. what he is admitting to in

now you look at that exchange between jay carney and john karl.tuation has changed dramatically, brit. >> not at least because the john karl is a good member of the mainstream media and i added to the good work we've done and steve hayes at "the weekly standard" revealing there were 12 iterations of the talking points. at least jay carney's story about what happened, and the white house's involvement in ruins. i feel badly for jay. i've known him a long time. he is a nice guy. in his reporting days he was a solid reporter. now he is trying to sell this story still. i don't know whether, i mean, i guess if you want to be the press secretary you have to be willing to do things like this but this is going very poorly for him because i think he was told to say things. he said them. now he is trying to, stick by them and they are, they have been demolished. martha: yeah. very tough spot for him right now. brit, thank you very much. >> you bet. martha: see you later. with that, with benghazi, and with the irs issue that is going on, how far up do both o

carney made. >> thanks, john harwood. we present the update. so as the irs plot thickens, can we trust the obama administration to investigate itself or is it time for a special council? joining us now cnbc contributor and former pennsylvania governor ed rendell and former attorney joe degeneva. he served during the clinton passport file in 1992 and he was to probe the international brotherhood of teamters in 1997. gentleman, welcome. governor rendell, i want to go to you first on this, to me, as a former white house staff guy, i worked under reagan. you know that, i do not understand why the president wasn't given this information. i want to start here. i'm not making accusations. i'm not saying he had a darn thing to do with this. i'm not saying anybody in the white house has a darn thing to do with this. in terms of running the place, if the council gets the information and the chief of staff gets the information and the press secretary gets the information, how can the president not get the information? >> well, larry, it's a good question.

chief white house correspondent jessica yellin was at carney's briefing. our own joe johns was at the press conference eric holder gave and chief congressional correspondent dana bash is on capitol hill where republicans are practically salivating over all of this. jessica, let me begin with you. how bad was today for the white house, do you think? >> first, jake, if they're not transparent enough i don't know why we didn't think of it. we should just subpoena their phone records. >> right. >> look, there is a confluence of issues here that puts the white house on the defensive. how these latest controversies impact the president really depends on how the next week plays out. that's because so far the white house has been all talk on the a.p. and irs controversies but no action. the white house is implying that will change as soon as the irs comes out with an audit of its own wrongdoing. now, we expect that audit to come very soon, and if the president's actions, if the consequences of the president's outrage are severe and swift, that could help contain the problem and ste

today is the bit of jay carney and composer richard vagner to the lovers of opera and haters of jews across the world. this is "viewpoint." >> john: good evening i'm john fugelsang and this is "viewpoint." thank you so much for joining tonight. when officials under oath at a congressional hearing insist first on their innocence you might expect them to be willing to talk about the issues at hand. so when the house committee on oversight and government reform swore in irs official lois lerner to find out what she knew about that agency's targeting conservative groups, members were not surprised to hear this. >> i have not done anything wrong. i have not broken any laws. i have not violated any irs rules or regulations, and i have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee. >> john: good start, but they appeared a little more surprised and in some cases annoyeded to hear what followed. >> after very careful consideration, i've decided to follow my counsel's advice and not testify or answer any of the questions today. >> john: republican congressmen trent gowdy of south caroline that thought the comm

as the guys on the e-mail shows then white house director john brennan who is the director of the cia said they tweaked it. jay carney said they were only minor tweaks. >> that initial information that includes all information we saw no evidence to back up claims by others that it was a preplanned or pre-meditated attack. >> the early drafts read we know islamic extremists with ties to al qaeda participated in the attack. hours later that day both al qaeda and attacks were deleted. it had been replaced with quote violent demonstrations. state department spokesman victoria newland they show evidence of communication between her leadership and national security staff to soften sop some of the language in the talking points. the first example: language about the cia's prior red flags were addressed and she suggested taking them out. as some lawmakers tell us such as lindsay gram and jason chafus we don't have all of the documents at all. >> i know absolutely for total certain at this this is a small anying goj. there are 25,000 documents. >> e-mails? >> a lot of them e-mails a lot of them unclassified. the white house h

>> also at the briefing white house press secretary jay carney indicated the white house will not be releasing those e-mails to speaker johnner and asked whether looking back the white house might have handled this matter differently, jay carney said, no. kate? >> great reporting, jim. thanks so much. a key question and i want to drill deeper on this now with cnn's chief national correspondent john king. john, you heard jim's great report but you also heard from jay carney here today, what he had to say. lots and lots of questions about benghazi and what role the white house played in drafting, changing the talking points we now know were flawed, not accurate. how much pressure is the white house under right now? i think more importantly how do you think they're handling it? >> it depends who the audience is you're asking me about. in the sense the democrats, democrats want to see the white house push back and say this is all a partisan republican investigation. republicans say, no. actually we have now proven in the report, here is an interim progress report from the five republican committees looking at this, we've had o

carney tried to do it? >> jamie: secretary of state john kerry, promised as the president often said, transparency on what goes on. at the same time, have you to protect secrets -- i understand that as well. but victoria nuland had been up for a promotion for some time, at least in line for it. now the president is making a nomination that has many in washington concerned. are you, and if so, tell us why? >> she has had a distinguished career. but there are very real questions about her role in preparing the talking points. you can see that she was concerned that it was going to come out that al qaeda was involved. she was very concerned -- how do we address this issue? she wasn't concerned about defending the use of the videotape as an excuse. she is one person at the center of this, as to who was there when the decisions were made, who from the white house, who from the cia. so her confirmation is very, very important. >> >> jamie: her nomination is a bit more controversial. >> absolutely, yeah. >> jamie: you said we have not had diplomats as we did -- killed in 30 years. and the talking points just to remin

carney said the u.s. supported israel's option to attack the assad regime. >> john: the transfer of sophisticateed weaponst organizations like hezbollah is certainly a concern and threat to israel and they have a right to act in response to those concerns. >> but with the reports mounting of sarin nerve gas attacks on syrian silverns, senators menendez announced they could arm the syrian rebels. and it was suggested on sunday that the u.s. could army some of the rebel groups fighting assad. >> we needs a game changing action. no boots on the ground. establish a safe zone, protect it and supply weapons to the right people in syria who are fighting for obviously the things we believe in. >> the idea of getting weapons in, if we know the right people to get them, my guess is we'll give them to them. >> meanwhile an official with the united nations commission of inquiry on syria suggested that while it was likely nerve gas had been used the assad regime might not have been responsible. karla del pont told reporters and i quote. there are strong concrete suspicions but not net incontrovertible proof that the s

. >> john: rick, do you think this is going to lead to any major scalps? do you see carney ors holder being casualties? >> not jay carney. i think it is interesting. i would not be at all surprised if eric holder was getting close to his expiration date anyway. he said he wouldn't stay through the entire second term. now it will make it hard because even if he wants to leave, for him to capitulate, i don't think he's so anxious to do that. >> the other problem of course, is that in this environment what attorney general is going to get confirmed by a republican -- by the republican senate? so, you know -- >> the irony of that, the guy who was really running this investigation was the number two guy and he would be the acting attorney general. >> yes, but you know, we also have to remember that you have to see this in light of the -- of what the department of justice has done since president obama has become president and this -- you know, there was an edict that you go after whistle-blowers with an incredible zeal. you know. and we're told that they needed to investigate th

today, jay carney insisted the president was not off script last summer while senator john mccain said all this confusion is hurting u.s. credibility around the world. take a listen. >> the president's use of the term red line was deliberate and based on u.s. policy. >> the whole situation is becoming more and more expansive and unfortunately the red line that the president of the united states written was apparently written in disappearing ink. >> the bottom line here is the president did an interview with tell monday tell tell monday doe, the only thing he ruled out was u.s. military boots on the ground in syria -- >> shepard: in north korea it looks like the dictator just blinked. confirms the north koreans have moved two missile batteries away from their launch pads. within the last few months we have heard the north koreans threatened to test fire missiles and for that matter to nuke the united states. now, it appears they are backing down. if only for the moment. the officer in charge of the air force's sexual assault prevention program is tonight under arrest for sexual assault.

john: no way jay ya think? i hate to tell you this, mr. carney but if you think charging three times more for the same service should get customers to notice, try this item from "the huffington post." it costs nearly $100,000 per patient at the bayonne hospital center in new jersey to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which, as it sounds, makes it hard for one to breathe but around 20 miles away, at the lincoln medical and health center in the bronx the identical treatment costs just over $7,000. as for cost discrepancies that can soar hire than that, jonathan blum, who directs the center that released the data said, and i quote... >> john: perhaps gordon gekko from oliver stone's "wall street" came up with the best argument when he told an audience of fictional investors greed is good. but greed also hurts. according to a 2009 study by harvard and ohio university, in 2007, over 62% of bankruptcies nationwide were medically related even though nearly 80% of those bankrupt families had medical insurance anyway. as dr. steffi woolhandler

hearing from jay carney, i think they're not taking it seriously, and i think the american people are. >> senator hutchison, thank you very much. good to see you again, ma'am. >> thank you. >>> john and eamon action thank you as well. >>> ty, the federal government wants the states to get tougher on drunk driving. phil lebeau has the story. >> sue, this would be a recommendation from the national transportation safety board, a recommendation that board would then make to states and up to the states to actually change the blood alcohol level that is determining drunk driving. right now for most states it's 0.08 is the level for impaired driving. some states it's still 1.0. but when you also have -- or 0.10, but you also have the ntsb saying it should be lowered down to 0.05. they believe that would save between 500 and 800 lives. buzzed drive is the same as drunk driving, and you can lower that threshold and save about 500 to 800 lives, sue, just for a point of reference, go back to 2010, the most recent statistics, more than 10,000 people in the united states drive in drunk driving accidents. 1.4 million were arrested for drunk driving. they believe they can cut that number drama

john? >> maria, i just stepped out of a white house briefing with press secretary jay carney, where he is dominatedabout the benghazi public statements the administration made, but he also, at the beginning of the briefing, got questions abouts this irs revelation. basically what happened is last year the irs denied that it was singling out tea party groups for special scrutiny. today, the irs acknowledged that that had happened. jay carney said that this was inappropriate. he wants to see the irs make corrections. said there's an inspector general's investigation. he didn't add new information to what we had already heard about it, but this is an embarrassment for the white house, especially as these questions about the public statements on benghazi are also dominating public attention, maria. >> so john, let me get this straight. during that heated, you know, presidential campaign, that we both covered, as so many other colleagues, basically, the irs targeted conservative groups and audited them, because they weren't voting for obama? >> no, no, no. it was not audits. these are -- >> investigatio

to reject calls by house speaker john boehner to release to the public unclassified emails that lawmakers read from wednesday's explosive hearing on benghazi. jay carney saying those documents and much more have already been made available to the relevant lawmakers and to speaker boehner. >> today's briefings stirred memories of watergate and iran contra. we wanted too play some of the back and forth between jay carney and the press corps. >> jay, you told us that the only change that were made were stylistic. is it a stylistic changes to take out our references to previous terror threats about benghazi? >> i appreciate the can he again. what i was referring to is the talking points that the c.i.a. drafted and sent around to which one change was made. then i accept stylistic may not describe a change one word to another -- no, i'm just -- >> after they were written by the c.i.a. these were concerns brought by the state department to use a in making these talking points. original version included rewtsz to al-qaeda, references to anti-islam -- it included extensive discussion of the previous threats of terrorist attacks in benghazi. those were taken ou

carney. i was there. on benghazi did he fifth white house still insists it is a political side show did he which everybody but john boehner, in fact darrel issa agree on, benghazi off of the front pages. on the irs did he fifth inspector general report now admits that the irs employees used inappropriate criteria in targeting tea party groups. but there is no way that the white house knew what the irs e up to. in fact on ap, that's fifth real schedule. no way to defend fifth department of justice snooping on the phone records things. would you over 100 reporters from the associated press. we will bring determine that up to date on all 3 fifth 3 things. would you those so-called scandals right here on current tv. going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to th

john brennan now director of the c.i.a. called the ap report an unauthorized and dangerous disclosure of classified information. today jay carney denied that the president knew anything about the d.o.j. tapping the reporters reporters' phones before yesterday. >> the president is a strong supporter of the first amendment and it's ability to conduct unfettered report reporting. he also of course recognizes the need for the justice department to investigate alleged criminal activity without undue influence. >> michael: can't help but wonder when you watch that what jay carney the reporter would have said to the jay carney the press secretary today. while that press conference was going on, so was another one with eric holder himself. he told reporters he had actually recused himself in other words, taken himself off the investigation because he is in frequent contact with the media. >> to avoid potential appearance of conflict, to make sure that the investigation was seen as independent i recused myself from this matter. >> michael: in fact, it is likely it was entirely legal. the u.s. law allows the government to engage surveill

carney. he was reacting there on it a question from john karl of abc news.udge in order to get a search warrant that james was part of a criminal conspiracy, they had to say that because they wanted to go into court without telling us, without telling jamt, so they could have no opposing counsel and convince the judge to let them read his e-mails, track his movements all in an effort to find a leaker who they thought they already had and they had that leaker's records, but they wanted to see james' as well. moments ago executive vice president for news here issued a statement. it read, we are outraged to learn today that james rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job. in fact it is down right chilling. we will unequivocally defend his right to operate as a member of what up only now has always been a free press. karl rove is a former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to president bush. your reaction to this breaking news. >> deeply troubling. look, every american has sympathy for the release of confidential secret information

in any event, i tip my hat to you and john karl and i want to ask you about that quote. jay carney quote. the single change that the state department and the white house made. they have made clear, one change and that was consulate to diplomatic facility. that's just not true. >> well, there are two possibilities here. one, what jay carney is saying is demonstrably saying is false if he means it in sort of a broadway or, two. he could be engaged in the kind of cairful language, careful phrasing that we have seen in scan tells of the past. so, it's possible that jay carney meant literally that people at the white house or the state department did not actually make the changes. and based on everything i have seen, wasted on my reporting, looking at internal white house emails, looking at the talking points, it does seem as if somebody at the cia probably deputy director of cia mike more relevant is the person who actually physically input the changes. >> megyn: come on. >> i'm not kidding. i think it's possibly -- >> megyn: who was at the laptop computer actually making the changes?

carney. i think the winds in the tornado are over 200 miles per hour. it's still on the ground, still very, very large. let's go back to bob and john.e's on the storm. >> about 17 minutes, but i have to dodge this next storm, so i have to move to the north before i go south. >> talk to us here for a minute here. what have you got? go ahead, john. you're on. who is that? let's go back to emily and kevin. let's go back to emily. we see your wall cloud. tell us what you got. >> there we go. we're finally faced the other way. we're going to go to i-35 and we're going to follow it north for you. it's about to move into edmonton. you can see the lowering of this. we notice some distinct in-flow earli earlier. it could have a lot of large hail with it. so norman, prepare for the potential of very large hail. genl, we're locating near mcgee drive on highway 9, heading towards i-35, and the core of this is about to head that direction, so we're keeping a close eye on it for you now. not seeing anything in terms of a funnel or anything like that, but definitely some strong inflow, big lowering, and we're c keeping a close eye. >> tornado warn

they contradict carney's champion that the white house croft was himmed to one style styleistest change. one spokesman e-mails colleagues to say john brennan now the cree cia director, quote, will haved dids to the talking points. four minutes later the edits were e-mailed it, including deleting the assessment that it was across syrian -- libyan society. >> neil: i'm reminded off all these developments and their comparison to watergate. and i'm wondering if you're own insights whether you see these parallels? what do you think? >> well, you know, the standard way of thinking about that, neil, is to posit that richard nixon is a kind of gold standard of presidential malfeasance, and then ask whether barack obama is somehow arching toward that standard, the grid where nixon is always at the center of presidential evil. i don't see it that way. i think that nixon's offenses were fairly common for the presidents in the post war period. think there's a lot of literature now from the kennedy and johnson administrations which establishes that. but for the moment we have to be fair to president obama, and make clear that we don't see evide

. >> carney said that the other day, by the way, authoritati authoritatively. here's the politics. house speaker johnhner today said he wants more than just resignations. let's take a listen to what boehner has to say. he is loaded for bear here. >> the irs has admitted to targeting conservatives. even if the white house continues to be stuck on the word "if." now, my question isn't about who's going to resign. my question is, who's going to jail over this scandal? >> okay. there you have it, dan rather. and you've got jail time talking about. boehner there looks like this is his ticket to ride to unite the republican party center right all the way to extreme right. they all agree they hate taxes, hate the irs, hate obama. here's a chance to put them all in a happy -- what do you call it? mystery tour. they may not know what anybody did wrong. they want to nail them and hang them and put them in prison. >> exactly. you're going to hear a lot of this, chris. because this is a three-way win for boehner and for the republican party. in ways it's been handed to them. number one, they can continue to bloc

john, can i finish? you had a long time there. >> adding to the drama. the prescheduled press conference was delayed twice. carney finally arrived at the podium three hours later than first planned. a lot of tension in the room when he walked in. why? because a lot was at stake, everyone. today we formally learned that the white house and the state department were heavily involved in the editing of the talking points used by the administration following the attacks in benghazi. something they previously denied. in fact, today jay carney doubled down saying the white house made only one edit, changing the word consulate to the word diplomatic post. the thing is there were 12 rounds of edits. among the first thing taken out of the draft is islamic extremists with ties with al qaeda participated in the attack. jim acosta who you just stlau was in the room asking questions and he's "outfront" tonight. that was an intense press briefing. we don't usually see them like that. >> that's right, erin. and i think that's because of what the white house said back in november when jay carney went to the white house press brie

the speaker of the house, john boehner, says the administration better have a dammed good explanation. patrick lahey calls the discovery troubling. white house spokesman, jay carneyys the president did not know. any time reporters are targeted by federal investigators, there has to be personal approval in the attorney general himself. congressional hearings scheduled from tomorrow. it is expected eric holder, himself, may have to testify. >> it is getting very ugly. >> i think this one will get extreme extremely ugly. >> hopefully, not an ugly commute but we are having some problems >>> the far right lane is closed after you pass through the toll plaza. this affects all of the cash lanes off to the right. you see as you approach, if you are using fast-track, you are just fine. these folks off to the right on the approach, very, very backed up all the way back in as folks are coming out of hayward and off of the merge. that's west 92. if you are using the cash lanes, great. the fast-track lanes, great, once you head over towards the toll plaza. even better you can use the quicker approach all the way to the scene. chopper panning down. this is the reason why. the

reveal that white house officials, like john brennan, director of cia, made at least one substantive change on friday, a fact that contradicts the claim by jay carney that the white house's only transaction to the 12 drafts of the talking points was the minor tweaking of consulate to diplomatic facility late in the process. the fbi was still maintaining that al qaeda was involved in the benghazi attacks even after the cia had stricken all references to that terror group from the talking points. >> why were the emails classified? there is nothing particularly earth shaking. when things are classified that i am suspicious maybe shouldn't be classified, it never sends a very good signal to me. >> reporter: i think that will be the conclusion of those who studied benghazi carefully and followed this story all along that the contents are not helpful to the white house and the narrative it has tried on many months to assert about benghazi. i don't think the emails help them -- >> that's not a reason to classify it. that's not what you classify things that you think make you look bad. >> reporter: not all of it was classified. i asked the administration,

john brennan the a white house official a then boarded the changes including stripping a line from the talking points that the perpetrators hails from many sectors of libyan society thatontradicts comments from secretary carney that the only change was stylistic changing the wordonsulate to the word diplomatic facility in the editing process. >> with the benghazi talking points must be frustrating right now and my ffrst guest sees it as a cover-up from the beginning and joining us now is donald trump's fall former secretary of defense with george w. bush and author of the book and leadership lessons of politics and mr. secretary great to have you. you knew since the october this was a cover-up and the onsibility for the way th warehous tried to cover this up also the president himself. of eier oppression to make that statement with what we now know. >> the former chief of staff of the white house i would describe this as the perfect storm. a sies of problems and they all converged on one word, a trust. we lead by a consent not by mmand. and to be persuasive they have do trust you and with a series of things with benghazi in the way it has been handled by the white house and the attentiveness of the president

john mccain. nice to have you here, senator mccain. what do you make of the white house response? >> can i pick up on what you showed mr. carney say. the president didn't call it an act of terror. in fact, two weeks later, before the u.n., he was talking about hateful videos and spontaneous demonstrati demonstration. >> i think the white house will probably say there was the remark that it was a terror attack. it did seem rather indirect. >> what he did say the day after, he condemned acts of terrorism. but then that night, with -- i think it was "60 minutes" interview, i'm not sure. and throughout the next two weeks, he kept saying it was caused by a spontaneous demonstration, sparked by a hateful video. he kept saying that over and over again. and condemning that. you have to look at this in the context of the times there. they're in the midst of a presidential campaign. the narrative by the obama campaign is, bin laden is dead. al qaeda's on the run. not to worry about anything. and here comes this attack on benghazi. and there's so many questions that are unanswered. we need a select committee. but for the president's spokesman

as john boehner said, he feels the white house is hung up on the word "if" with regard to all of this. jay carneyg they are not an "if" in terms of whether these groups were targeted. the question is who told these folks to do so? >> one of the stories came out it was happening in the ohio field office. but quickly we are hearing stories it happened much more pervasively. if you look at the testimony at the ways and means committee. senatorn they are asking hard questions of the senior manage pmght and they were tote -- senior management and they were totally denying this. the white house is saying if if if. the executive branch gets them weeks before we get them. they have a chance to review and offer comment to potentially edit these types of things. the inspector general takes those into consideration. while proud of the work on the surface of what the inspector general says. i know what the oversight committee, congressman issa will be leading the charge to dive deeper into this. martha: will you be asking eric holder in that hearing if he will be overseeing the irs investigation and whether

john brennan, then a white house staffer, now director of cia, passed along his changes, including striking a line about the intruders having hailed from across many sectors of libyan society. on september 18th, carney said this at the white house. >> our initial information -- and that includes all information, we saw no evidence to back up claims by others that this was a preplanned or premeditated attack. >> no evidence. in fact, the cia's early draft of the talking points stated, quote, we do know that islamic extremists with ties to al-qaeda participated in the attack. that language survived for about five hours. by 4:42 p.m. on the 14th, however, al-qaeda, an attack, were gone, replaced with violent demonstrations. nonetheless, at 9:43 that night a cia official wrote to a colleague at langley, fbi says al-qaeda, not al-qaeda in the islamic ma grab, was involved, and they're pursuing that theory. we're not ahead of law enforcement now. so are we clear to send to congress? the answer came back no, and the scrubbing of the talking points accelerated over the following day, a saturday. there's more, sean, much more to these documents, including a reference by then state department spokeswoman vick
