To remember that these leaks are serious and for those folks who are leaking information that may lead to the death of sources or people who are cooperating with the united states or men and women who are serving in combat, there should be consequences for that. >> do you think that the attorney general leveled with congress, with the judiciary committee, with your colleagues, when he said that he was never involved in the potential prosecution of a journalist given that he named as a co-conspir...

There should be consequences for that. >> do you think that the attorney general leveled with congress, with the judiciary committee, with your colleagues, when he said that he was never involved in the potential prosecution of a journalist given that he named as a co-conspirator a journalist in the affidavit? >> certainly the timing is, i think, problematic for the attorney general. i think that has to be thoroughly investigated. i think you need to lay out exactly what the testimony was, exact...

Who had said who to what, but i think to characterize that, it was all an election ploy, the benghazi issue was the subject of one of the presidential debates. i dont think something thats the central issue of a presidential debate could be considered not involved in the presidential campaign. and as ive said on this show, te me the issue on the irs scandal , if they targeted only conservatives, thats a major problem, and they have to get to the bottom of that. that has major legal implications....

Let me finish tonight with this. i was thinking the other day about the consummate unfairness of the so-called benghazi issue. when our country was hit in 2001 with those planes flying into the world trade center up in new york and the pentagon down here in washington, the country accepted the horror, sure, there was some finger pointing about the warning the cia had given the president about the al qaeda attacking in the united states, but nobody serious was saying george w. bush was behind 9/1...

Wondering, too. benghazi, no one knows who ordered the standdown. benghazi, no one knows who changed the talking points. irs we found out tv when you found out. department of justice after the a.p. and fox, well, that was because it was probably criminal activity. lerner saying she cant testify because she is taking the fifth. what is wrong with the truth? why cant we get the administration to come forward with the truth and let us decide who is right and who is wrong and why. the administration...

You were in the white house during the clinton scandal. so take us inside of this strategy. the thinking, when all of these things start piling up, the way they did, what is the strategy like? >> well, i dont think you can say there is a single strategy that applies to all of these different things. in fact, one of the problems that this white house faces is the seeming connectivity between the ap issue, the irs issue, and the benghazi issue, theyre really quite distinct and it is incumbent upon...

General had recused himself. and we did not get to the bottom of that. we did not find out why he recused himself. and we will have to pursue that issue further. and we will very aggressively because protecting the first amendment with regard to both of these matters is very, very important and a great responsibility for the congress. bill: and on that point, now, he says he recused himself, so he cant answer the questions. so how do you get answers if he wont take you there? >> well, first of a...

So the issue of security there is a legitimate one. the question of why it wasnt there is still an open one. president seems to be suggesting it wasnt there because of budget constraints. his critics have said, it wasnt there because you want to make libya look it was all fine and dandy and it wasnt because you wanted to promote this policy -- ive got everything under control and my policies have created this shifted in the watershed moment in the middle east. dont worry, america, they are on bo...

Acting chief is not enough. he claims president obama should apologize to the targeted tea party groups as well. martha: so the white house also under a lot of pressure from both sides of the aisle and also from some former top obama advisors yesterday. they did finally release 100 pages much e-mails that were related to the talking points that followed the benghazi terror attack. the internal documents show some of how the obama administration crafted the final storyline that ended up in ambass...
