is that it for now? is he totally in the clear? gregg: no, not necessarily. prosecutors can appeal it to a higher court. it is questionable whether they re going to do that. basically, i m reading this decision. it s, it s a pretty severe criticism of the prosecution. of course tom delay, no longer a congressman. i didn t know this until you told mee a moment ago. jenna: how can you not think about dancing with the stars a couple years ago? he was a former majority leader. he is also known for this, dancing with the stars , gregg. gregg: i had no idea. jenna: this was something he was doing a couple years ago but, it will be interesting to see what he does next, right? gregg: yeah. jenna: if this is the case, he is cleared and life goes on. gregg: i don t think he will be a hoover. that is just my guess. jenna: give him credit for that. not easy to today. we ll keep him up-to-date on more developments this hour. more information on a series of explosions following a fire at a chem
the review. gregg: chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live from washington with more. hi, catherine. reporter: well, thank you, gregg. we re in the second hour of the hearing and one of the headlines is that the state department investigation was operational in focus. it was not focused on who set the policy to be in benghazi with that substandard security. there is agreement this morning that responsibility for security did go as high as undersecretary patrick kennedy who was in charge of u.s. embassies worldwide. kennedy so far escaped blame. the republican chairman of the committee now taking legal action to access state department employees on the ground in benghazi that day. i am in the process of issuing subpoenas because the state department has not made those people available has played hide and go seek and is now hiding behind a thinly-veiled statement that there is a criminal investigation. jenna: as to reporter: as to why mrs. clinton was not inte
jenna: another busy day uncovering truth about benghazi. two more hearings on capitol hill. lawmakers are digging deeper for facts, deif manning answers for the american people. some lawmakers not everybody though. one hearing is in the house armed services committee but the one happening during our show is in the oversight committee. that s where we expect the fireworks to come. welcome to happening now. i m jenna lee. i m gregg jarrett in for jon scott. after months and months of delays we re finally hearing from the leaders of that accountability review board on benghazi. the official review found a number of serious failures but left a lot of questions unanswered. jenna: we should note, gregg, that democrats and republicans remain deeply divided over the report s findings. they took things away from this report opposite ends of the spectrum. they also have a big difference how the review process has played out. keep that in mind. lawmakers still want to know about requests for
have the votes in the senate. i mean they would need five votes in the senate, gregg. they don t have one vote in the senate. they would need the president of the united states to say, oh, my gosh, you know, i m changing my mind and i m growing to go along and i will grant this delay. there is just nothing like that in the cards. so, what you have is people who are stuck on an idealogical point but threatening the economic recovery, threatening government shutdown, government services, if we look back historically, as a matter of politics, this just doesn t work for the republican as a successful strategy. gregg: didn t work in 95. betting money certainly will not work then. they had appropriations bills that funded government then but not now. it could be catastrophic. you look at polling data, juan, americans do favor delaying the individual mandate but not defunding which republicans claim is a method by which you delay. i sometimes wonder if it s a
this witness appeared october of this. this was just seven days. usually witnesses are not public. this was a short timeline for that apparent notification. gregg: catherine herridge thank you very much. reporter: you re welcome. jenna: we ll be revisiting the story throughout the hour. we ll return to what is happening in the washington navy yard. it is opening today, three days after the shooting rampage that killed 12 people. meantime police releasing new information on gunman aaron alexis who they say was carrying a weapon with some strange markings. begs more questions here. steve centanni is live from the washington navy yard in d.c. with more. steve, what are they talking about, these strange markings? reporter: yeah, jenna, very mysterious. authorities are frankly puzzled by this as you know aaron alexis bought a saud off shot gun saturday a few days before the attack in northern virginia, not far from where i m standing. bought a winchester shotgun with a wooden stock, som
