mr. gowdy, for five minutes. mr. gowdy: thank you, mr. chairman. director clancy, do you believe congress has the constitutional right to provide oversight over the secret service? director clancy: yes sir. mr. gowdy: do you believe that chairman chaffetz and ranking member cummings are motivated solely by a desire to see what is best for the president and for the agency itself? director clancy: yes sir. mr. gowdy: with those two thoughts in mind, does this committee have every single bit of video footage available from that evening? director clancy: sorry sir. mr. gowdy: does this committee have all available video footage from that evening? director clancy: it does not, sir? mr. gowdy: why not? director clancy: sir, we have provided that footage video that we have to this committee. mr. gowdy: all of it? director clancy: we have shown two clips. we have not shown all of it. mr. gowdy: that's my question, director. you just said that congress has a constitutional oresponsibility to provide ove

go ahead, mr. gowdy. >> no i would -- >> i would like to correct the record. >> i would like to yield to the gentleman from utah because i was under the misapprehension apparently that this committee was not in possession of all available video from that night. >> that's correct. they are not in possession of the video. but we did allow the chairman to view the video. >> you've shown us less than one minute of video. >> yes, sir. yes, sir. >> well, back to my question. will you make all available video? and i say "available," because we're going to get to it in a second all of it was not preserved. will you make all available video available to this committee? >> we will make all video available to this committee for your review at any time, day or night. >> will you make a copy of it available so we can retain custody as opposed to simply showing it to us? >> i will not release a copy of this video at this point. >> why not? >> the oig has an ongoing investigation. >> you think the oig's responsibilitie

mr. gowdy's questions about allowing congress access. you do not want to provide congress with any of its own versions or copies that we could then look, review with the staff and then determine the next steps that we may want to take with the investigation. is that your position? >> as i just recently said, i will revisit. i understand the outrage on this. our initial offer was to be there whenever you needed to view it. we would provide it at any time day or night. but i understand that's not acceptable. >> again, i've been bouncing around so i apologize. i did not hear that. now mr. gowdy also raised the issue of this inspector general. i know you're doing what you think you're required to do, but sitting here in hearings and across the whole federal government conducting oversight the number of times where witnesses say, well that's the ig we can't do anything we can't goive you information, congress, because the ig. i just don't believe that that was ever the intent of inspector generals to cause the rest of the world to stand still

mr. gowdyty there are a lot of questions about benghazi. what happened with the military response. why was there this video excuse, et cetera. mr. gowdy says that there are months and months of emails that are missing but we will see if she complies. >> they were just yoga emails: >> if he shoe doesn't turf over the server what could potentially happen. as mary mentioned it's not the server itself. it's the concealment of evidence that could be on the server. >> it's really going to play badly with the american people. we have to keep in mind she is the head of an agency. that means she is the person that the buck is supposed to stop with for preserving records are for protecting them. she hasn't made good on that basic obligation it blows my mind that we would trups her to funnel through the emails and pick out which one she shares. >> she will accidently spill coffee on it. i'm waiting for that one. also news in another hillary clinton controversy. "wall street journal" reporting that while t

go ahead, mr. gowdy. >> no i would -- >> i would like to correct the record. >> i would like to yield to the gentleman from utah because i was under the misapprehension apparently that this committee was not in possession of all available video from that night. >> that's correct. they are not in possession of the video. but we did allow the chairman to view the video. >> you've shown us less than one minute of video. >> yes, sir. yes, sir.

. >> who is going to select this person, mr. gowdy? you? the right wing? a think tank? to tell me the clintons are just average citizens. they don't have any global impact whatsoever. gowdy and the republicans would never be satisfied. can you imagine that gowdy would come out saying he looked over the server and nothing was found on it? the right wing would manufacture it. republicans are klooking for dirt wherever they can simply find it. we have rand paul trying to elevate his visibility also weighing in on hillary clinton's press conference today. >> i don't think convenience should trump national security. she has also admitted in other interviews she has an iphone an a blackberry so she does carry two devices. the fact she didn't obey the rules on putting her e-mails on a government server i'm not sure that can be trusted since we can't trust her to do the right thing the first time. >> we just can't trust hillary to do anything right, can we? she's been the first lady. she's been a united states senator. she's been secretary of state. i know how she got those jobs

and it does tie in with a thoughtful question that mr. gowdy asked earlier.don't think you can separate the two. whether this is constitutional depends on whether the president has a justification for choosing the priorities he has. one of the factors that informed those priorities is the reality of limited funds. >> professor i think i know your thoughts on judge hannon's issuing the injunction. i think that's very clear. but i missed some of your testimony. have you opined on whether or not you think the administration has violated the apa? >> i have. do not believe they have violated the apa. basically the reasons i can state succinctly, the only argument made for why the apa notice and comment procedures might be thought to apply would be that they didn't really involve the exercise of discretion. for all the reasons give nn myn in my written testimony there's simply no factual record in the report for that conclusion. >> your written testimony that was provided doesn't address is the government's response in seeking a stay to that injunction. do you agre

you're already hearing gowdy about how he wants mrs.benghazi committee at least twice. do they have, because of they control congress the toblt v ability to drag this out? >> absolutely. this is what they wanted. rather than govern rather than deal with some of the tough issues facing this country, they're going to focus on this. so i think they're going to drag it out to the greatest extent that they can. again, i go back to benghazi. if you ask a republican what they had to breakfast, they say benghazi. so this is going to be the same thing until they find the next shiny object to take on. >>> let's move on. the senate finally is holding a vote on the president's nominee for attorney general. 122 days after president obama nominated loretta lynch to be the next attorney general. senate republicans announced her confirmation vote will be held sometime next week. lynch's confirmation has taken longer than any other recent attorney general. >> jimmy, you know the senate well. what was the point of all this delay? >> oh, i don't know. may

and joining us now the south carolina republican congressman trey gowdy chairman of the select house committee on benghazi. mrmuch for joining us. first of all, are you making new requests for additional e-mails that she may have had? >> yes, sir. we want all the e-mails regardless of who they were to or who they are from, with respect to benghazi. so yes, we are making new requests in light of the fact that our request to the state department they don't have access to or control over all of her e-mails. so we'll be making requests to her individually. >> has she already provided some of those benghazi-related e-mails to your committee? >> yes, sir, we have some of them. but i have no way of knowing whether that represents 10% or 50% or 100%. there was a production made recently of about 800. so whether or not that represents the full universe or not -- part of the issue with the way that these e-mails are kept is instead of going to the state department to ask whether or not we have everything now we have to go to another source which makes it interesting when you're going to the source himself or herself, t

broke, "on the record" grilled benghazi select committee chairman trey gowdy on whether he would issue subpoenas. then, he issued them. mr. chairman, nice to see you sir. >> yes, ma'am you do you. >> news about former secretary of state's emails. what are you going to do about it it. >> we are going to gain access to them or do our best to gain access to them. we went to the state department under the assumption that they would be the keeper of the record, or othe custodian of the records. it was only last week that we discovered they can't produce the -- all of her emails to us because they don't have all of her emails. >> which suggests they haven't been 100% cooperative if it takes that long to answer a question like where are the emails? >> you would think that could come up in the discussion sooner than last week. we are are had private hearings that were outside of the public eye asking when can we expect production and disclosure? you would think at some point it would come up hey, by the way, we are not ever going to be able too give them to you because we don't have them. but last week we realized they don't hav

mrs. clinton is going to have that os i understand it, the 55,000 documents they gave trey gowdy were culled, not complete. >> governor, thank you. i still don't get any politician using a blackberry at this point. i thought they all knew not to put anything in writing. governor, thank you. >> thank you, greta. take care. >> our political panel is daily beast jackie kucinich and byron york. jackie, your thoughts on this? >> this is one of those things it reminds me of romney 47%. one of the reasons that comment was so devastating is that it reinforced something that was a perception about mitt romney that he was a rich by that didn't care about poor people. this has the same issue for hillary clinton because it reinforces that maybe they are not breaking the law but the clintons don't think the rules apply to them which is a common thought out there. >> i would like it hear from her, byron i'm not a government official. i use personal account. fox account important ones i want to sort out. i send them to my personal to sort them. i use my personal as a sorting mechanism a lot of times. >> th

mr. clancy, thank you for being here. we appreciate this very much. i want to reiterate what representative gowdy said earlier, and that is that we all want to see you succeed. we do. we truly sincerely bipartisanly we want to see you succeed. and we hope that you'll do that. unfortunately, off to a bad start. >> yes, sir. >> and that happens, okay? let me ask you something. when your agency hires a new employee, can you tell me what the process -- or how much time it usually takes when you hire a new employee? the amount of time? >> well, to go through the hiring process, it's approximately seven or eight months. we've cut it down, we cut it down up to about a year ago, but we've cut it down to about seven or eight months. once we get them onboard, they go through training for 8 1/2 months down at the law enforcement training center. >> that's in my district. thank you very much. >> it's a great facility. it's grown quite a bit since i've been down there. they get excellent training down there. basic law enforcement training. and then they come up to washington for more specific training with th

mrs. clinton throughout her career. but there is this bengazi committee operated by representative trey gowdy.hey have subpoena power and i think she is going have to work hard to keep information away from them. bill: one last case on ought gowdy case. he has two of her e-mail addresses. do you think this information is originating with this so-called hacker james rosen talked about? or is it possible some of this is coming from the benghazi committee itself looking into her record as secretary of state? >> reporter: we heard in the past even before this blockbuster "new york times" report. we heard there was a secret e-mail address clinton e-mail.com that has floated out there in the past. also the house committee has technical experts working for it. they don't have to depend on news reports. they are working to work through this. the bigger issuer is to get the clinton camp, and hillary clinton herself to reveal the extent -- the full sentence of her communications that had anything to do with benghazi and the security at the consulate in libya and all of that stuff. bill: thank you byron.

mrs. clinton did not turn over any of her private e-mails until the state department finally asked for them, gowdy by his own account did not issue a subpoena to address a scandal he's long known about until the scandal became public. that in itself is a scandal. essentially the question is, if you knew about this private e-mail issue back in august, of last year, why did you take so long to subpoena and get more information now? >> well, chuck, the power of subpoena is only as good as the power to compel compliance. and in my previous job as a prosecutor and i think the author of that article is a former prosecutor also, you had great tools to compel compliance. in the legislative branch, you do not. so we had been working since august to secure access to all of her relevant documents and e-mails, subpoena is kind of the final thing that you do when all else fails. the state department told us they wanted a different kind of relationship with us. and we took them at their word. what we later found is it was kind of a one-sided relationship. the state department is not very cooperative and when we

mrs. clinton, because she concealed all of her documents a felony from the government of which she worked, she is deciding what to reveal. you're going to interview in a few minutes congressman gowdy. he subpoenaed her records. he does not know if she gave him everything he subpoenaed. he has to rely on her good faith. what good faith? she controls the documents and the statute says the government controls the documents. i was very disappointed in bill clinton. even though we know him, he's a long-time tv guy his son is a producer here -- >> interviewed president obama. >> correct. he should have followed up and said, mr. president, are you concerned at all that your secretary of state had classified materials on her them from the government? mr. president, are you going to prosecute your secretary of state for placing classified documents in a nonsecure environment just as you prosecuted general petraeus for doing the same thing? we didn't hear any of those questions. >> what have you done to satisfy yourself that she did not do that? are we just relying on her word at this point? >> well apparently he's done very little to satisfy himself because since he made those statements t

mrs. clinton? these are bona fide questions that the government should be asking. do you hear anybody from the government -- stuart: not the government but trey gowdy has subpoenaed these's going to call her to testify, and she will testify under oath -- >> he has an impossible task before him, because his ability to question her is only as good as her responses to his subpoenas. he is not a prosecutor -- stuart: but then she loses politically. >> can't send the fbi to raid her computer and raid her offices. he only has what she's surrendered. stuart: but i hate to say he's got her politically, but she looks politically bad if she cannot answer his questions and stonewalls with, i'm sorry, i don't recall. >> but she should be in criminal jeopardy. she will look terrible politically if she condescends to be examined. stuart: but she can't ignore that, can she? >> she has not surrendered a single e-mail to benghazi. who says she's going to surrender herself to answer their questions -- stuart: you can't become president of the united states if you refuse to answer questions -- >> the democrats will portray her as a victim. >> right. >> look, the gop is going after her ju

congressman trey gowdy, chairman of the committee investigating the benghazi attacks, said he would call her to testify at least twice. mrsalready deleted her personal e-mail and has no plans of turning over the private e-mail server for an independent review. >> when the search was conducted we were asking that any e-mail be identified and preserved that could potentially be federal records, and that's exactly what we did. >> reporter: but this doesn't necessarily put the questions to rest. mrs. clinton was policing herself making her own determination of which e-mails should be turned over. with the presidential campaign just weeks away she dismissed the criticism. >> i went above and beyond what i was requested to do and, again, those will be out in the public domain and people will be able to judge for themselves. >> but long before voters can judge for themselves she faces more republican criticism and demands for more answers, but one thing is clear, all of this is certain to carry over into her presidential campaign which i'm told is only weeks away. alisyn. >> jeff thanks for all of that background. so did hillary
