by career attorneys and experts on the false claims act under the clear direction of tony west, mr. tony west, head of the civil division; not by mr. perez, who was head of the civil rights division. mr. west at all times retained the authority to make the decision regarding the newell case. now, while it is correct that at the time the supreme court agreed to hear the mag magner case both h.u.d. -- the housing and urban development -- and the minnesota attorney generals office had recommended intervening in the newell matter. they had done that because they didn't know all that was before them. as we ofnlg find, initialing considerations are not always dispositive and are often revisited in light of things that come up. so after learning of the department of justice concerns with regard to the magner appeal, the general counsel for h.u.d. -- housing and urban development, department of housing and urban development -- told the house that she reversed her recommendations, stating -- quote -- "if the decision had been totally mine in october and there weren't any dealings with the departm

speaker, i rise today to recognize and honor the community service of mr. tony campbell.an, arizona, in 2001 to become general manager of route 66 motor sports, also known as mother road harley-davidson. he also joined the chamber of commerce and began leading his community, constantly finding ways to lift others up as he strived to better the lives of those around him. he organized what would become one of the chamber's signature fundraisers, the harley raffle dinner. he loves his motorcycles. in 2009 after eight years of service with the kingman chamber of commerce, he was asked to join the board of directors and serve on the business and government community. mr. gosar: with his larger than life perment, he had an amazing ability to bring others together both business and government using the springs of each to complement each other. he showed his leadership. for the last year he he served as chairman of the board for the chamber of commerce. as his time in this role comes to an end, it is with honor and appreciation i stand here and recognize mr. campbell for his serv

tony. >> caller: mr. atkinson, i enjoyed "the long gray line" so much that it actually inspired me to go on to the military academy, and i thank you for that. with that being said, i'd just like to make the comment about what that gentleman who fought at iwo jima said about the service academies and abusing women. i just feel like the media isn't really doing a good job of covering the story. i went to the academy, as you know, and we sat through hundreds and hundreds of hours of sexual assault prevention. you know the rules about that place. we couldn't even sit on the same horizontal piece of furniture as a female cadet. and, i mean, we're talking about an environment that's so controlled and so rigid, i just don't know what more the academy can do. i mean, i think there's -- the media so eager to jump on this and say, oh, the academy is fostering an environment of sexual abuse, and it just doesn't ring true with any of my experiences at the academy. >> guest: well, thanks for your call. i think it's no

. >> tony neumann: mr. carl is the same guy who i talked to before. >> terry neumann: really? i did send a $1,000 check in probably a few weeks back but the check was sent back to me with a letter stating, "we will not accept a partial payment." i don't really think of that as a partial payment. i think of that as a basic payment and a good gesture on trying to get, caught up. right now we're going through a hard time. my husband's out of work. he went to school and he's looking for a job. and i'm basically just trying to buy a little time so we can get on our feet again. you know, so we can get caught up. i would think that this is just going to be a temporary thing, not a permanent thing, and i really don't want to lose my house. are you just trying to tell me that you have to foreclose on the house, if i don't have that full amount? you would recommend it. >> tony neumann: is he putting this on paper? i want to know. is he putting this on paper? dear? dear? >> terry neumann: would you like to talk to him? >> bill moyers: the neumann's oldest son, daniel, was just about to s

. >> host: tony is in san diego. >> caller: mr. akin sin, i enjoyed your book so much that it inspired me to go onto military academy. thank you for that. i would like to make a comment about the gentleman that he will jima said and i just feel like the media isn't doing a good job covering the story. we couldn't even sit on the same piece of horizontal furniture. i just don't know what more the academy can do. it just doesn't bring true. >> i think it is not true for the cadets and those in "the washington post" today. there is a story about a mother of a female who alleged that she was raped by three others, and it is upon. once is too often. it's not to say that it's rampant, most cadets don't recognize the right thing to do and would not intervene given the opportunity to stop this kind of behavior. you know, it may be that the rigid controls at a place like west point are part of the problem in the long run. certainly the class of 1956, for example. it is all male, it is a hothouse environment that doesn't really allow young 1

mr. gonzalez, because you're both named tony. you are here to talk about the new digital platform.hat else will you do? is this your last year? besides this app forfeitness, what are you going to do? >> i am 100% year this is my last year of playing football. but as far as going forward, yeah, it's not just fit start i'm doing. you have to go out there. you have to do other stuff to be passionate about, you can do every single day. one thing i love is football. i've been doing it my whole life. i can transition and sit at the desk, talk about the game i love. i've been playing it the last 17 years after next year. that's the next step. hopefully some network out there wants to hire me. >> tyler, am i really obvious, when i say he's obviously handsome enough to be a tv commentator about football. >> i would say absolutely. >> thank you, tyler. you're the best. >> anytime tony -- either tony, you want to come in at cnbc and talk business or football, we'd be delighted to have you. it's great to have you both with us. thank you for your time. and two guys who made their names on the f

mr. grassley: madam president, am i in order to speak about the nomination of tony west? the presiding officer: the senator is in order. mr. grassley: today the senate will vote on the nomination of tony west to be associate attorney general. although i will be supporting mr. west's nomination, i have some concerns about his record that i want to share with my colleagues. this is a very important position. the associate attorney general talking about this quid pro quo, most often emphasizing tom perez's involvement with it, not too much about mr. west. the quid pro quo involved the department agreeing to decline two false claims cases pending against the city of st. paul. remember, those two false claims cases were estimated, if successful -- and they were pretty good cases -- to bring about $200 million back into the federal treasury. now, in exchange for this quid pro quo, the city of st. paul would agree to drop the case pending before the supreme court. as i've said, i've spoken at length on the st. paul quid pro quo as it relates to the nomination of mr. perez to be s

tony was arrested for murder and he didn't want the other attorney to represent him. >> mr. bittman, is there such a thing as a mafia? >> there was a time that i would have sworn that there wasn't. i had had the head of the fbi, that there wasn't. they said it was the greatest lie ever told. ally of a century that there is no mafia. we're at really found out about what i was doing ,-com,-com ma because i was representing families, i have no idea of this until i began to listen to the wiretaps and read the search warrants and see the movie casino to find out had i really knew what i was doing and representing, i would charge a lot more. after a while it came about this way and i was representing vinny the animal. you never called any animal to his face that was clear. i get a phone call one day and he says, you are through, oscar, and i said, what does that mean? and he had the you will never be able to say that there is no nokia. they met in the room and the palau tonight and then they write the card and they say if your brother is an informant, you will kill your brother an

tony newman became ill with pneumonia. it cost them their mortgage for several mondays. mr. stanley got sick as well, cost $30,000 that insurance didn't cover. and that is-- that put them in a deep, deep hole from which they still haven't recovered. >> rose: misnewman is now looking for a place to stay that she can rent in a trailer park. >> the film starts out with tony and terry being engaged, getting married, buying a small house, really talking like any young couple. >> rose: the future belongs to us. >> the future belongs to us. we're going to spend our lives together. it ends up with her after a series of jobs. she's a hardworking woman and very ingenuous and very open and dedicated to her-- whatever work she's doing. she has had a series of jobs, they just keep luring her further down into that hole. and so finally at the end she's looking for a trailer, as you say. >> rose: lots of books have been written about the middle class. so what do you think is different about this hour and a half film that we have seen on front line. >> you will stay with the family. it's li

strongly disagreed with it and they conveyed their concern to tony west, head of the civil division. during his transscribed interviews, mr west testified that it would have been -- quote, unquote -- "inappropriate to provide this material outside of the normal discovery channels. mr. west said -- quote -- "i just know that that wasn't going to happen, and it didn't happen" -- end of quote. in other words, when the lawyers at the civil division learned of this offer, they shut it down. again, why is this important? it's important because it demonstrates that the documentary evidence shows the events transpired exactly, exactly, as mr. lillehaug said they did. mr. perez offered to provide the other side with information that would help them defeat mr. newell, in this case on behalf of the united states. in my opinion, this is simply stunning. mr. perez represents the united states. any lawyer would tell you it is highly inappropriate to offer to help the other side defeat their own client. this brings me to my final two points that i want to highlight for my colleagues. even though the department traded away mr. newell's c
