Criminal wrongdoing, whats got congress all up in arms here? >> well, i think its a policy matter, chris. i think they believe that this is the kind of thing the president should have known, that the congressional committee should have known because they think theres the potential for trouble here. whenever somebody is having an affair -- you heard what peter king just said. i can tell you what the justice department and the fbi say. they say a couple things. number one, they dont inform other a...

And to have someone out there in such a sensitive position who the fbi thought perhaps could have been compromised or was under the scope of an fbi investigation who may or may not have been having an affair at the time, that to me had to have been brought to the president or certainly to the national security council. if not, the fbi was derelict in its duty. >> whats really going on here? pete williams is nbc news justice correspondent. thank you, pete, for coming on. if theres no allegation o...

So my concern has actually escalated over the last few days. >> republican congressman peter king of new york said the timeline that he sees here doesnt add up. >> once the fbi realized it was investigating the director of the cia or the cia director had come within the focus of its scope, i believe at that time they had an absolute obligation to tell the president. not to protect david petraeus, but to protect the president. and to have someone out there in such a sensitive position who the fbi...

press room podium and listen to a tiny bit of what he had to say. >> it is hard to understand why speaker boehner would walk away from this kind of deal and, frankly, if you look at the commentary out there, there are a lot of republicans that are puzzled as to why it couldnt get done. in the interest of being serious about deficit reduction, i was willing to take a lot of heat from my party up until sometime early today when i couldnt get a phone call returned. my expectation was that...

Were supposed to establish separate accounts to deposit foreign money that does not belong to the u.s. federal government. that wasnt done except in one case. d.o.d. should have named a point person within the agency to make sure controls were in place. also not done. and d.o.d. was supposed to keep track of how much iraqi money it currently is holding. that hasnt been done. the special inspector general found no incidence of criminal wrongdoing so far but no one knows what happened to the money...

Whether that might make you sick, theres not a whole lot of guidance here. earlier, they had a statement that said some people are more sensitive to smell than others. were finding it, sanjay. nonetheless, theres many questions still out there. >> just listening to you, tom, it sounds like the overall tone of this website is pretty upbeat. does it mention the fact that many people have been pretty upset with the response so far? what does it say about that? >> not from anything i could find, san...
