serious than this. the valerie plame investigation and others. when the democrats we have letters from then-senator obama and statements by then senator obama calling for an independent counsel or special investigation so it s clear that this issue is of transcendent importance. the director of national intelligence said, this is the most egregious breach of security and national security that he has seen in his 30 years as in the intelligence community. greta: it is bipartisan in the sense that there is horror or shock on both sides of the aisle. senator dianne feinstein, democrat, very concerned about the seriousness of these leaks. i mean, let me ask you, though, two people are appointed by attorney general holder. one was the united states with the u.s. attorney appointed by president obama and the other is the u.s. attorney from the
portfolioes. but americans are reacting. they are seeing what is going on in the economy, they are not owning car, they are leasing instead of buying and going to mcdonald s for coffee instead of starbucks and sending their kids to community colleges and then to the blue-chip universities for the other two years to get that on the resume. they are smart. the american people are smart and they are reacting. we have a great, thriving services and manufacturing base, not all about inflating bubbles. greta: i have to go. thank you, liz. thank you. greta: the heat on attorney general eric holder was turned up blistering hot. a short time ago, senator chuck grassley accusing the attorney general of creating a constitutional crisis. the latest from senator grassily himself grassley himself. and president obama getting blasted for saying the economy is improving. but not just republicans. who is saying he
that. i am not willing to give very much. they have to show within a week or two that they are willing to cough up the documents or i say, go to contempt and at that point, i would be willing to say, resign because you haven t new yorked in good faith. in terms of negotiation, i mean, i think of negotiation as give and take. i give you 10,000 page, i will keep 10,000 pages. but you want to investigate and i assume you want all the page, so what what possibly could the justice department and the attorney general do but deliver all the pages that you have subpoenad? i mean, what can, quote, be negotiated? well, there are certain accusations against that are emails and wire taps that are sealed by the court. they can ask the court to unseal those. greta: do you want them to. sean. oh! i asked that of the attorney general weeks ago. we didn t get an answer. they haven t done anything.
