i have to say unsubstantiated because i have no idea if that is truthful. it kind of fits in with who they were. >> you say the mother was not sane. >> their phrase was, "never wholly sane." she was always a bit off. they clung to them like burrs. once they started making money and became famous, the family would just turn up. there would be a raft of these family members that tennie called deadbeats. they were like locusts eating off of these two green stems that were upholding the whole family. they spent an awful lot of money on that, and were afraid to leave, because they understood how much this family could do, the harm that they could do in the press. they had everybody's support. they had susan b anthony. they were looked at as the new wave of feminists. victoria became the first woman to address any member of congress. she addressed the judiciary committee and argued that the constitution, the 15th amendment, everything said "citizens." it didn't say "male," it didn't say "female." the only time "male" was used was in the second article of the 14th

it seems fairly unsubstantiated and crazy.kes me about the whole thing is there's a whole generation of voters who have no idea of what this is about, have this vague sense that maybe monica did something with bill clinton and that it's all fine. it's hard to blame her everything for it. we don't quite know who these people are but we don't think they did anything wrong and maybe there were words that we learned from the television during these hearings and had awkward moments with our parents and that's kind of it. >> i would point out that vanity fair published the 2008 article that was scathing about bill's discretions. >> he went off on a receiving line during the campaign. >> yeah. >> he hated it so much, bill clinton. >> he called him a scum bag or something and he was called the come back id. i would point out that article. >> let me read this. lewinsky taking issue with how hillary clinton treated her in the middle of the scandal. yes, i get it. hillary clinton wanted it on the record that she was lashing out at her hu

national elections less than a week away, russian president vladimir putin today made a major but unsubstantiated announcement about his troops in the area. chief foreign affairs correspondent margaret warner is in donetsk and reports that uncertainty has become the new normal in eastern ukraine. >> warner: for months, 40,000 russian troops, backed by tanks and heavy armored vehicles, have been patrolling near the border with ukraine. but the kremlin said today that president vladimir putin has ordered them back to their home bases. so far, though, n.a.t.o. secretary general anders fogh rasmussen said he sees no sign of movement. >> i think it's the third putin statement on withdrawal of russian troops, but so far we haven't seen any withdrawal at all. i strongly regret that, because a withdrawal of russian troops would be a first important contribution to de-escalating the crisis. >> warner: here in donestsk, the capital of the eastern ukrainian province of the same name, reaction in central lenin square was mixed to this latest putin pronouncement. >> i don't trust putin. no one trusts him, bec

it isn't some unsubstantiated partisan attack. it is a well-documented fact. from the very beginning, one of the key promises -- or premises underlying obamacare's government takeover of health care was the notion that americans couldn't and shouldn't be trusted to choose their own health insurance and that instead washington's so-called experts could be taxed -- tasked with determining the sort of coverage americans could buy. indeed, mr. president, that's the entire point of having the minimum coverage provisions that the obama administration fought so hard to include in the bill. if americans' existing plans don't comply with some government official's specifications, then obamacare forces individuals off of their insurance. to put the president's more honestly, if he likes your plan, you can keep it. several respected news outlets have responded how policy aides within the obama white house objected to the president's obviously inaccurate claim that if you like your plan, you can keep it. only to be overruled by the president's appointed political advisors

if they continue to level the nasty attacks unwarranted, unsubstantiated, the public will see throughit as it has in the past, with comments about rape and other egregious statements. >> i see you shaking your head. do you agree with that. do republicans have a problem with women? >> this is a great play to get democratic women and independent women gemmed up. this has nothing to do with hillary clinton booping a woman -- being a woman. hillary clinton seems unbeatable. you have to put chiption in the armour -- chinks in the armour. number two, her last name is clinton. how were the republicans during the '90s. we talked about monica lewinsky not long ago, what transpired during that. the reason they are going after her is she seems to be the pre-eminent nominee, it's pretty much ordained. they think they have to go after her and it will take two years to muddy her up. it's nothing to do with her gender. >> tara? >> i disagree. on the record there's so many statements that have been so egregious, over the loin about women -- line about women, their bodies, and the statements have been

lack of internal controls that led to dibbing out of additional money to people undocumented and unsubstantiatedaid there was failure by managers to follow the flow of money and attribute it correctly. were people fired? is there accountability for these mistakes that have been admitted? >> to my knowledge there was not. it is extremely difficult to get money back from a federal government workers when paid several years ago. you can't dip into the paycheck now and get it back. that is something almost impossible to do. it is extremely bad pr especially comes on the heels of what you were talking about, martha, the irs scandal when 2800 people got $2.8 million even though got disciplinary problems themselves and some hadn't even paid their own stacks taxes and they work at the irs. bad pr and a breach of principle, very different obviously working for the federal government and working in the private sector. martha: absolutely. thank you very much, stuart. we'll see you later. >> sure thing. bill: it was supposed to be an afternoon of fun but people at a california airshow were stunned as they w

some of those just aren't -- are unsubstantiated. the servicesçó do it a little b differently.ay. but the fact of the matter is some number comes out. in some cases, some of the subjects are outside of the purview of our control, so they are outside of the department of defense. in some cases, they are foreign nationals. in some cases, these happen in areas where the civilians opt to hold on to that. so we have a chart in the report, and i don't have it in front of me, but i would just tell you that it breaks down and it walks through the numbers and ultimately it gets to the denominator where we have jurisdiction over and then we further break that down by what happens to that, and i tried to hit it, but i know i end up throwing a lot of percentages and numbers at you, but i can -- i can get that to you. we call it -- i refer to it as a water fall chart and it will walk that top number to down and tell you exactly what happened. quite frankly, it's in eye watering detail. >> if i may make a suggestion to you, sir, make that report real simple, that chart, so the american peopl

here is where we get to one funded and unsubstantiated.we are on a vocabulary lesson so congress should amend legislation that is currently in the nba a to determine what is provided for unfounded cases those that are being baseless rather than an substantiated cases. this is an issue of reporting requirements causing trouble in interpretation and comparison of the data. fiscal year 11, and substantiated cases, we think unfounded, baseless and that is what the issue should report on whether there reporting on cases not pursued further. i am looking at the time here. i will do a couple more, okay. comparing military -- comparing in terms of prosecution rates, we don't recommend congress or the secretary, civilian or military prosecution rates. and non prosecution for civilian jurisdiction. mm-hmm military, were not the same applicable in a civilian jurisdiction. we recognize the definition of conduct prosecuted is different in the military versus civilian justice system. we do realize these are dynamic environments too to the uniform report
