Forminger Irs News Today

We will be joined by a panel of seasoned journalists, washington reporters who will join to us weigh in on the dojs now failed effort at damage control. i mean you have got the vast majority, 80% so far who have weighed in and said we are not coming. you have had a couple who said "we will." what does this mean now? what now is standing between the attorney general and the healing because he has got he tried to reach out in a way that would have kept everybody in the dark and the news organizati...

Appointees but the agency itself is not supposed to be political. visited the white house far more than we knew when he testified before congress. at least 159 times. from january of 2009 when president obama first took office until november 2012 when mr. shulmans term ended. that is an average of one visit every nine days. chris stirewalt is our fox news digital politics editor and host of "power play" on foxnews.com live. i cant think of a person i visit every nine days. honestly, your immedia...

Oathing about journalists. we will speak with one of the leading administration critics in the senate who has taken his own fair share of criticism in these past days and weeks ted cruz many people feel he is the future of the republican party today joins me live weighing in on attorney general eric holders troubles, the irs scandal, and what the future he says might hold for him. and, up next, the trouble in case of the 911 call that went unanswered and the fallout and wait until you hear now a...

Politicization in fact that affected the irs somehow the state department is immune from it i think its perfectly fair question to submit this foir request. >> megyn: somebody who used to work in government at the white house under president bush, how unusual would that be to have the campaign operatives directly emailing state saying make sure this doesnt come back on us or whatever it is they are fishing for. they are not that dumb, are they? >> no. very unlikely that this is going to uncover ...

Seen things but i just think when you bring a service in closer to the white house and to other agencying agencies you run the risk of eroding that independence. >> megyn: shulman went 159 times and that guy we just saw went once? >> once. and by comparison i believe that the director of the fbi, robert mueller went maybe five times over that same period. a scant number of visits for a guy who is running the most important federal law enforcement agency. so, there is something going on here with...

Would likely stand out in eric holders mind? >> its unprecedented. and the degree of willingness of this administration to target, to target a reporter for this network as an unindicted coconspirator? i mean, that is without precedent. and, unfortunately, i think its part and parcel of a pattern from this administration of not respecting the bill of rights. north respecting the first amendment. not respecting the second amendment. not respecting our fourth and fifth amendment rights regarding dr...

Catholic but it only comes once a year, right? >> even the protestants we only do it once a year, too. thats all we have got, megyn. >> megyn: suggests a man who does not want to are for the right im saying that answer yet again leads to more questions. >> leads to a lot of peeps. i dont know how much he now regrets his testimony. i can be very certain though that the president regrets that mr. shulman conducted himself in this way and had such a bad outing. the questions continue you were talki...

Thrown in jail. >> and, yet, in that case, they basically fired nobody. ultimately a couple people resigned, the desk chairs were shuffled why talked about how in the state department in the wake of benghazi you have got four people on paid administrative leave. no one gets fired. so far the irs may ask for the rifings of one guy about to leave i. anyway and another guy. >> the people doing it. everybody lois lerner paid administrative leave. i know its hard to fire a democrat -- bureaucrat but ...

>> megyn: we dont know that much about mr. shulman appointed by president bush. we know he donated $500 to the democratic national committee. so, you know, back in 2004 that was. so, we dont know exactly what his political persuasion is or whether he decided to get more political than we have seen in former irs chiefs. hopefully time will tell. maybe president obama is getting audited. [ laughter ] >> well look into it. >> megyn: thanks, chris. >> you bet. >> megyn: coming up, speak life with te...

Still employed. nobody seems to lose their jobs except the irs commissioner did in that case. >> megyn: who was leaving two weeks later anyway. >> exactly. exactly. and allowed to retire with benefits and all the rest of it. john boehner said there ought to be a criminal investigation not a firing. the administration makes a lot of noises about investigation and doing the right thing. as we know from the whistle blowers, the arb was wholly inadequate. havent suffered any serious consequences. >>...
