robertson told us emphatically his gift has no connection to the promise. so your donation is not tied thaied? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: directly to his call to repeal dodd-frank? >> no, not in the least. >> reporter: if mitt romney were to become president, would you expect him to take your phone call? >> i would expect mitt romney to speak to me occasion easy because i think he respects me. i don't think he would ever say i owe julian robertson a call because he contributed to my pac. >> reporter: these big donors toned say they just want their guy to win. hollywood producer jeffrey catsenback told us by e-mail he gave $2 million to the super pac behind president obama to counter donations coming from the president's conservative opponents. these unlimited seven-figure donation could buy a new level of special access to the candidates, but, scott, it's also true most of these big donors have that access already. >> pelley: unlimited money in both parties. wyatt, thanks very much. a grand jury may begin hearing evidence next tuesday in the case of tr

willis robertson of virginia. robertson had signed the 1950s southern manifesto pledging massive resistance to racial integration, only three u.s. senators refused to sign. estes of tennessee, al gore senior, and lyndon johnson of texas. robertson's son, senator robertson's son, pat, had had a dramatic religious conversion after yale law school, pat robertson is a very unusual pentecostal, in terms of his class origins. pat robertson established -- is an early form of the christian broadcast network. he refused in 1966 to campaign for his father. he told his father he had been wrong. he was continuing to be wrong. and it created a tension. so there are -- you know, normally one -- you know, one does not think -- in that context of pat robertson, but there is some redemption and some changing of the guard that does occur. >> you say that in 1968 johnson kind of threw in the towel when he essentially gave up, that's when the american people became disloyal. later on in your book you do a thing on the mass media, gre

robertson -- it's not your money. and this is what has the american people so worked up. $8,000 is a lot of money. $6500 goes a very long way. for most families today. and i would argue, that the invisible man there, mr. neely, if he had thought this was his money, we wouldn't be here today. mr. chairman, i yield back. thank you. >> i thank the gentleman. and i would note for the record that we have not been able to get a clarification whether it's 6 or 10. it appears it could be 10 round trips with family in some cases, costing over $100,000 to find out what vegas was like. with that, we go to the gentleman from another region. the gentleman from texas. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and i generally applaud yours and the committee's selection of witnesses, but you've left out one important witness in that hearing. and that's the mind-reader. maybe he could tell us what some of these people were thinking when they did that. i do have a couple of comments and questions that hopefully you all could clear up for me. i'm rea

despite all robertson thinks studies have shown that children as young as nine years old are aware of their sexuality robinson is the same man who said the haiti earthquake was caused by a pact with the devil so this. and a comment shouldn't come as much of a surprise and a very very ugly they should daniel genki genki of bishop in illinois spoke at a mass this weekend following a catholic men's march we come back and he actually compared president obama to hitler take a listen. hitler and stalin at the better moments which is barely tolerate some churches remaining an open book would not tolerate any competition with the state education social services and health care. in clear violation of our first amendment rights president obama with his radical pro-abortion extreme secularist agenda now seems intent on following a similar path. actually hitler tried to exterminate millions of people because they were of a different faith president obama wants to make sure working women have access to contraception and some two very different things the fact that bishop genki would suggest that p

robertson said recently. i have never used manner, and i don't intend to, he said, but it's just one of those things that, well, i think this war on drugs just hasn't succeeded. the reason robertson is for legalizing marijuana is that it has created a prison problem in america that is well beyond what most americans imagine. he is right. here are the numbers. the total number of americans under correctional supervision, prison, parole, et cetera, is 7.1 million. more than the entire state of massachusetts. no other country comes even close to our rates of incarceration. we have 760 prisoners per 100,000 people. most european countries have one-seventh that number per capita, so it's adjusted for population. even those on the high end of the global spectrum -- brazil, poland -- have only one-quarter of the number we do. if you say this is 134 kind of enduring aspect of america's wild west culture, you would be wrong. in 1980 our rates of incarceration were a quarter what they are now. what changed was the war

robertson, would you know? >> i think the gentleman hit on something which is we appreciate things being centralized but one of the questions is, do we have high ranking high paid civil servants in these regions going every back, because they're not responsible, perhaps we're paying more than we should support responsibility not met. >> my understanding is that in -- i believe all the regions, the regional commissioners are paid more than the regional administrators. >> but more than $100,000? >> significantly. >> i believe both of them are over that number, yes. >> thank you. >> mr. chair. >> yes. the regional commissioners are paid quite a bit. the regional administrator is at the gs-15 level. >> which would put him quite a bit below sas. mr. chaffetz is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ms. johnson, with whom did you collaborate the development of your testimony submitted? did you collaborate with anybody in the development of your testimony? >> i wrote my testimony, and i discussed it

robertson. you were previously liaison to essentially the white house and i know the word administration versus white house versus president gets use loosely. so let's just take the largest question. in your role as, in fact, the communicator not representing the administrator, but representing white house liaison, that role in which your job was to communicate, to have no surprises, nothing unknown to the people of the white house, both political and nonpolitical, wouldn't you ordinarily have reported something like this in that role? >> the role of the white house liaison is to on board appointees to different offices and executive branch agencies and departments. >> no, but here's the whole point. when you worked for senator obama, i'm sure your chief of staff told you, no surprises for the senator, right? >> i don't remember having that conversation in the senate. >> so you would have kept something like this that could embarrass the president? you would have kept it a secret when he was you

and your chief of staff, michael robertson, lets the white house know last june, and you still allowed neely to take all these trips and you knew about it? how is that immediate action? i'm surprised that the administration, that the president didn't take immediate action. i'm assuming that somebody in the white house, somebody in the administration said, hey, how is that i.g. report coming? that investigator come up with anything else? we saw a copy of this. it's pretty bad. if he's giving you regular meetings, i would assume the white house would have somebody going, oh boy, this is really going to look bad. maybe we ought to get some regular meetings too. if martha johnson isn't doing something about it, maybe we need to replace her. and if bob peck is not doing something about it, maybe we need to replace him. maybe we need to put mr. neely on administrative leave in may of last year rather than waiting until the american public finds out about it. nothing happened for a year? and you allowed all these trips to continue on? multiple conferences? i mean, i can appreciate mr. tangher

this is pat robertson. he is alive happily. i bring this up because these guys are frequently confused with one another. both men are or were televangelists who founded televangelist universities and often confused with one another. it's hard to remember which one is which. my numonic for remembering which university is which is that pat robertson founded regent university. r, r, right? regent university is the school where virginia governor bob mcdonnell as a 30 something year old mid-career student wrote a the sis how public policy should be designed to punish co- cohabitaters, homosexuals and fornicators. bob mcdonnell is tut a regent university graduate. you also used to be able to remember regent university as the pat robertson university and as the one of those two easily conflate conflated evangelical universities where mitt romney spoke. mitt romney spoke at regent in 2007 when he was trying to run an even more conservative specifically socially conservative campaign for the presidency. this time around, mr. romney has

robertson, mr. pek, ms. brit ta -- >> mr. leads and myself. and we discussed this report and we agreed it was egregious and we were eager to get the final report so we could act. it took nine months before we were able to receive a final report. i will say that had i had had that report earlier, i felt i could have moved much more strongly with respect to -- >> we will come deeper into those details. mr. walls? >> thank you, mr. chairman. and ms. johnson, i want to make sure i avoid generalizations and myself and this committee as a whole the interest is not for grand standing and while the loss of your career is personally tragic to you, i have to tell you if you will excuse e me, my concern relies with the taxpayers today. i don't doubt your sincerity that you're sorry this happened, but i hope you recognize the magnitude of how this reaches. it's just incredibly difficult for me to imagine that this happened having worked in different organizations and seen it. i think your analysis was very honest with your matrix design whatever, but firs

robertson? do you see it? >> absolutely. this conference was outrageous. >> well, i am not going to be as self congratulatory as of the people are. i think the fact we're having a hearing is a loss. most people don't need a hearing to know that you don't spend other people's money the way money was spent at this conference. we don't need a list of recommendations from the inspector general. we don't need to be reminded is it is criminal. in mind reader? my guess is they will not need a mind reader to find out the american public has lost confidence in the institutions of government and the response. i want an indictment. not a memo, an indictment. i went through your report and i wrote, what is the penalty for doing what you found they did. what is the penalty for a discount on a per se for your personal use because -- on a per se for your personal use? what is the penalty for tipping off a competitor? that sounds criminal to me. mr. chairman, well this was being planned and executed, i was working at a small da's office in
