the senate has not passed such a bill, but in 2009 the judiciary committee sent a bill to the floor that failed to win a place on the calendar, as debate on obamacare took over the agenda. that kind of sidetracked things for a while. the latest attempt passage of a journalist shield bill came after last summer's disclosure of a subpoena of phone records to track down an operation in yemen and the relation that the department of justice had successfully obtained a search warrant of a fox news reporter's gmail account by telling a court that he was involved in a crime, at the very least either as an aider, abettor, or co-conspirator. that was really something for the government come out and say a reporter, by asking a source, asking a government employee for information, was guilty of aiding, abetting, or co-conspiring in an espionage charge. when the actions against these came to light -- president obama ordered attorney general holder to review policies into journalist work and the report was released to the president in july last year. while it offered provisions to make it more difficu

the senate select committee or watt water gate committee spent 18 months and over $2 million in its investigation. the grand jury in washington d.c. spent $225,000 since 1972. the house judiciary staff of some 100 have been working at a committee for tran transcripts,, handwritten memos and on and on. this year's weight in pounds is overwhelming. could any man withstand such scrutiny. could any man go through some of this of a questionable statement under preez pressure or while frustrated or even revealing some mistakes. i submit no. >> where was a similar counter balancing. presentation of the higher side of the story. was the pikt krcture revealed properly. was it in the grand jury. this committee was nonpartisan. i you give credit where credit is do until very recently. the arguments can be against peach. would not have been presented. the president's counsel james st. clair was able to sit in on this evidence and part on a limited base. he was the president's counsel not the committee 's counsel. not my counsel. there was not a staff lecture fin my opinion. last night at 7:30 we received the roe poproposed articles of the gate began. regardless of now we're preparing to v

i note that april 3rd executive meeting, senator grassley pointed out you had admitted to the judiciary committee you were personally aware of e-mails between political employees and career prosecutors discussing the decision to decline to prosecute the new black panther party voter intimidation case and that had contradicted the testimony of your boss, mr. perez. so i thought i'd take the opportunity to ask you if you were aware of any e-mails between lois lerner or a different member of the internal revenue service and career prosecutors in the department of justice regarding the prosecution or investigation of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. >> you're asking me if i know anything about lois lerner, congressman? >> if you're aware of any e-mails -- >> i only know what i've read in the paper about that situation. i've never -- >> so while you're in the department of justice as chief of staff for the civil division -- >> civil rights division. >> civil rights division. you're not aware of any e-mails? >> i have no involvement or any awareness other than what you and i both read in

on his part and without the president consulting minority and majority leaders of the judiciary committee, the senate and house of representatives and ascertaining their consensus is in accord with the proposed action. and then that the jurisdiction of the special prosecutor will not be limited without the president's first consulting with such members of congress and as certificate take that their consensus is in accord with his proposed action. now at the time -- >> it's not important what his consensus means unanimous -- >> no, sir, it had been interpreted by the acting attorney general in conversation as meaning six of eight. >> i take it when you make reference to this you are in effect suggesting that your position is certainly different than if a united states attorney were prosecuting this case. >> that's correct, sir. i think we have what might be termed a quasi independent status where there were delegated to this particular office performance of certain functions and there's no reason why the president couldn't of delegated those to us. as a matter of fact -- >> mr. jaworski, independent i
