E-mails on a busy day, each. >> and we are dealing with very important things. >> most of the e-mails are really dumb jokes with dana. >> you want to hear one? >> no. >> dont you think this ties into -- benghazi ties into the a.p. story? it was evident that the white house was going back and forth with the "associated press" about a 4-year-old terror plot. and they wanted to be the ones to get out in front of it. they didnt take the proper protocol -- >> theres clearly a lot more. >> how do you ...

Scandal, not on benghazi. unclear whether or not he will take questions. stay tuned at 6:00 p.m. right after "the five." the president will speak. what was your point? >> i was going to say, when your defense is something that happened a long time ago, youre guilty. >> thats u like when you cheat -- >> yeah, when youre innocent and somebody says, you did something wrong, you go, hell, no, im innocent. you dont go, it happened a long time ago. if somebody gets you on something and you reference i...

Winnebago to go down to a game at usc and he put it on cruise control and then came back and sat down because he didnt understand what cruise control was. you cannot detach yourself from the steering wheel. and thats what happened. president obama stepped away because he was so cool and so detached he thought he could. but if you look at irs and look at benghazi, they have one thing in common -- they happened prior to an election. basically obama drove those dogs out into the woods and left them...

Have done this ignoring every protocol that the department of justice set for itself to spy. those are not my words, theyre the words of "the new york times," and subpoena over 100 reporters phones at, lets say, "the washington post." nixon did not do that. he didnt do close to that level. >> he fired his independent prosecutor because he didnt like the fact that he was going over his tapes. you dont think thats a problem? >> its like when hillary hired the ambassador and the admiral to do her a...

>> okay, there are some reporters i will say that have done excellent work, some at cbs, some a it ju"the wall stre journal" and other media outlets. but they didnt -- >> it took two or three years -- they all bought into the war in iraq, too, and they all backed off after three years. they buy into things. this media is not exactly what you call independently minded. >> and were buying into it right now because the real story here is the benghazi terror attacks -- >> why? >> because four americ...

Doesnt make sense, and actually does not make sense to me to release the benghazi emails 40 minutes before -- that are bombshell emails -- and then go on the tv at 6:00 p.m. 40 minutes later to talk about the irs scandal. its not going to work. >> theyre trying to confuse you. >> they need to take it step by 10, block by block. >> its a strange strategy. >> i don the strategy makes seo confuse as many people as possible. headline issues tomorrow, two different things are out, as opposed to conce...

Talking points. so he decided, mike morrell, the cia director, hes going to take the lead and change it and then its more opaque than -- >> something thats opaque. a bog, perhaps. >> i dont know. theres no there there yet. >> again, though, this is -- were getting -- theyre going through them and theyre going to send this information. but we have 100 pages of e-mails, there are obviously a lot more. theyre on benghazi but hes going to speak about the irs at 6:00 p.m. right after these e-mails. i...

This smells very fishy to me. 100 pages. if theyve got 22,000 pages of obama care regulation, there are only 100 pages of e-mails -- >> we dont know what was released. they might have protected the executive office of the president. >> i bet there are 100,000 pages of e-mails going back and forth -- >> there might be. andrea, what do you think -- theyre dealing with so many different crises at the white house, did they make the decision that, we have to get one of these off our plate and benghaz...

Somebody unbiased, nonpartisan, ethical, fair-minded and a person who would be appointing that special prosecutor is eric holder. and so once it starts to look like the d.o.j. cannot ethically cover this, thats when that should come into play. i think were there. we learned today, eric, that they werent just targeting tea party groups at the irs. they were targeting religious groups, the billy graham organization, pro-israel groups. this is a complete, complete den graduation of the first amendm...

That were not being completely transparent is not because wave cover-up to. it is cia. this is what is going on is not a relevant point. >> i think weve reached a real sad stage in been gazay. i want to be very clear. i will say this today on "the cycle." there is an abuse of power in benghazi. the abuse of power is the complete exploitation and politicalization of this strategy by some members of the republican party in the house. that is outrageous. and we know that because at the very time th...
