joining us now for washington bureau chief, john stanton. one of the ironies here is congress tends to be a bit skeptical of the fed and yet because of their dysfunction, they have essentially handed all of the economic power over to janet yellen and the fed. >> yeah. it is interesting. i think she has been -- good about having a steady hand. i think watching some of the press conference, she was pretty realistic about what she said the -- there are head winds in front of the recovery, it has been disappointing but that they are going to continue to sort of -- on the course they are on and does believe they are going get the inflation targets and other bench marks that will start to mark a path poured and a little more aggressively. you know, congress really has very little ability to do much in this political climate. senate democrats want to do lots of things. house republicans have their own ideas and they are still polar opposite. it is up to the fed and janet yellen to do any of the work at the federal level. >> you are absolutely right

. >>> joining me now, big john stan stanton. big john, let's first talk about darrell issa. does he pay any kind of price among the electorate? i cannot imagine members of the republican caucus look at that tape and say, yes, that is the guy we want leading the charge. >> first of all, it's fascinating to watch darrell issa and elijah cummings operate together because they don't like each other. and you would think darrell issa should have seen this coming, that doing this hearing was going to set off cummings and he was really going to tear into him. and it definitely was a botched handling of this. leadership is not probably going to be all that pleased, although frankly, amongst republican based voters, this may play well. house members don't have to worry about statewide issues, just their own districts. and a lot of districts frankly, republican telling a democrat he's did he ever, he's not going to talk, probably will play pretty well. so in the end, i'm not sure he does pay that much of a price. >> do you think issa has more room to keep litigating the irs nonscandal/

john stanton, washington bureau chief of buzzfeed.com. and emily suszman. thank you for being here.lil llis, i wanted to start with you. you know dr. murphy personally. you have been twisting arms on capitol hill to find out what is going on here. did i get the story basically right? what is the latest going on on the hill? >> the latest going on on the hill in the wake of the vote for the department of justice nominee, there's not a broad appetite to take another difficult vote. those of us in the health community don't believe this should be a difficult vote. the american college of physicians, the american college of surgeons. the american college of emergency physicians have all public si said same and similar things that we did of doctors for america during those letter-writing campaigns. if you have been in the emergency room and you have seen a victim of a gunshot wound, if you have been in the intensive care unit and seen someone cling to life, you understand that gun violence is a serious problem. with that being said, and his senate health committee hearing, dr. murthy was

dana, a newspaper man who served as assistant secretary of war under edward stanton, public which ousted their assertion that johnay have a company the president to the war department telegraph office that evening to receive the 1864 presidential election return. he said flatly that they were lying and hay was not there because he remembered it because even the. hay kept a pretty good diary during the civil war years and said that dana is insisting i wasn't there and there's a page in my diary this as i was. he said to nicolay, you see the big heavy contradictions with to go through on the part of conceited old men with bad memories who have been lying for 20 years. writing to the former vice president, scotto colfax, he observed that people grew self-aggrandizing overtime as their memories increasingly betrayed him. he said it's impossible for any old illinois to talk for five minutes without letting you understand if he made lincoln all that he was. ultimately the secretary stop conducting interviews altogether because quote it places us in a dilemma of either being compelled to report a lot of worthless fictio
