the department of justice can still hold accountable the u.s. tax evaders and the tax haven banks that helped them if the department has the will. among the questions we will be asking today is why the department of justice slowed the investigations of the 14 banks through its failure to use u.s. legal tools why it accepted the swiss bank secrecy principles and the department of justice nonprosecution programs why it obtained only 238 accounts with u.s. client names in five years out of the tens of thousands of credit suisse accounts and how it plans to collect the unpaid taxes still owed on billions of dollars of credit suisse accounts. allowing americans to evade their tax obligations through hit in offshore accounts to prize the government of needed revenue. and more than that, it deprives american taxpayers of something vital to the legitimacy of the tax system, fairness. of the law needs to be enforced to ensure that taxpayers aren't able to go offshore to cheat uncle sam and instead pay what they into the tax haven banks are held accountabl

you know i have had this discussion with the department of justice and the department of justice has said we can't talk about this because o.m.b. is not in the room and they will whip us unmercifully if we talk about budget stuff without their presence because it will look like we're submarining the prerogatives of the white house over budget issues so we brought o.m.b. in. and those discussions have gone forward at a moderate pace. i just wanted to flag for you this legal requirement that it be done within 120 days because i'm expecting that there will be a report within 120 days and i'm hoping that you and o.m.b. will both put considerable effort into it because if you look out four or five years at the rapid rate in which the cyberthreat is growing, in which it is morphing into more complex and varied threats, and at all the ways in which it can affect the lives of ordinary americans, i think that we are both underresourced and inadequately structured to deal with that program, that problem in the long haul. so what assurances can you give me about how you guys are going to handle

actually he's being quite nice our justice department is turned into tax collectors you commit a crime you don't do time there's no consonance crime without consequences well you do if you pay a small fortune a relatively small fine. of the billions of dollars in the gotten gains and the jamie dimon to get a raise after they settled with the justice department is kind of like giving eric holder the middle finger. failing you really think. you're the justice the justice department was bragging about the settlement where thirteen billion dollars who so what does that i mean get a few weeks later he gets a seventy five percent seventy four percent raise that's sticking that's giving them the middle finger pretty much there i would say now another fraud case that's making headlines lately is the hewlett packard autonomy deal now h.p. purchased the british software maker in two thousand and eleven but has since told authorities that it's found serious accounting errors in the company's seriously eighty percent off accounting error is now in twenty twelve h.p. took an eight point eight billi

and moving forward, i've directed every component of the justice department to lead by example on this issue, by considering whether any proposed rule, regulation, or guidance may present unnecessary barriers to successful reentry. two weeks ago, at georgetown university law center, i called upon state leaders and other elected officials to take these efforts even further by passing clear and consistent reforms to restore voting rights to those who have served their terms in prison or jail, completed their parole or probation, and paid their fines. i renew this call today because, like so many other collateral consequences, we've seen that the permanent disenfranchisement of those who have paid their debts to society serves no legitimate public safety purpose. it is purely punitive in nature. it is counterproductive to our efforts to improve reentry and reduce recidivism. and it's well past time that we affirm as a nation that the free exercise of our citizens' most fundamental rights should never be subject to politics, or geography, or the lingering effects of flawed and unjust polic

to arrest and extradite a number of significant cybercriminals abroad with the help of the department of justice, the office of international affairs and state department. just to name a few. the dave & busters intrusions that happened in 2007. we were successful in arresting an individual. we arrested and extradited alexander supe. in 2007 we were successful in extraditing sergei living into. there's a number of other successes we have had of high-value targets, high-value hackers that event attacking our financial infrastructure that with the assistance of international law enforcement and relationships we've been able to arrest those people and bring them to justice here domestically. >> one of the things we talked about earlier was the time between the companies confirming the breaches and then letting customers know how quickly they can find out what their policies are. and i assume, ms. ramirez, you want to do as soon as possible but one of the questions i want to know, having been in this law enforcement before is, there's also this thing we want to catch people an at i would think when t

it was notified by the justice department but tchs a week before they said anything publicly. they heard it about it justice on december 12th and confirmed it on the 15th and notified the public on the 19th. at first you think, why did they wait four days. what he said is it took them time to number one, see what exactly was taken, determine how many customers might be affected and then staff up the telephone answering centers and notify the people in the stores so that once they made this public announcement, people at target would know what to say when people started calling in and asking what happened to their information. secondly, a lot of support today from the industry from members of congress for moving to what's called pin and chip technology. in the u.s. credit cards have this little magnetic stripe on the back and you swipe through your point of purchase gizmo to make the purchase. in europe and most of the rest of the world there's a computer chip in the card and you have to enter a pin. what the industry said today, this is better for a couple of reasons. one, it m

evan, i'm reading about this, and he just said that on monday, the justice department will issue a memohow did all this happen? >> well, victor, this is all part of the fall out from the defense of marriage act being overturned last year by the supreme court. the justice department has been giving legal advice to various parts of the government on how they need to change their policies, to fit in with that ruling. the irs now allows same-sex couples to file as joint returns, as married couples. the military is now offering benefits to same-sex spouses in the military. and so now this is going to extend this to all parts of the legal system of the united states, the federal legal system of the united states, i should say. it does not affect states that don't recognize same-sex marriages. it doesn't change their laws. and so in state courts and in state matters, it won't affect those. but there's a large part of the country, obviously, that will be affected. everything, as you mentioned, from bankruptcies to survivor benefits, and even the right to not have to testify against your spouse
