asked you and you said you never received any stolen materials. that doesn t appear to be accurate. you also testified you knew nothing about the scanned dam until it was present. if you had suspected anything untoward you would have reported it. you testified to senator hatch you never received any document that even appeared to be drafted or prepared by democratic staff. i also asked you yesterday whether mr. miranda asked to meet privately off site to hand you documents related to senators biden and feinstein. i also asked about him sending, you quote, intel with extraordinary detailed specifics about what i was going to ask, a highly controversial nominee just days later, something i
confidential, informed you that senator biden s staff was asking him not to attend the meeting that day. on march 18th, 2003, mr. miranda sent you several pages of talking points that were stolen, verbatim, stolen verbatim from democratic files. the talking points revealed arguments democrats were making on another controversial nominee, miguel estrada. the subject line is not available for distribution meaning mr. miranda was asking you not to share the information. this has now been as of 3:00 this morning made public. so yesterday you said you didn t have any recollection. i m not going to ask you if you remember receiving this e-mail. i m going to ask you this. why would you ever be asked to
so nothing the direct answer to your question is, for example, biden looks like hearing. not even where it came from? on june 5th, 2003, you received an e-mail from a republican senate staffer with the subject li line, spying. that is not overly subtle. 1,000 documents. she says she has a mole for us and so forth. none of this raised a red flag for you? it did not, senator. again, people have friends across the aisle who they talk to. at least this was my bag then. maybe it s changed.
in 2007. this already existed. bill: see, it doesn t do any good to give documents out unless we know who ordered it. we still have unanswered questions. we don t know how high up in the justice department. who authorized this program. look, congressman peter king in the house, chairman of the house homeland security committee today said this scandal is worse than watergate because at least with watergate we didn t have any dead bodies. we have an american hero. u.s. border agent lying dead. at the hands of the fast and furious gun. chairman issa has been asking for these documents since october. 150,000 outstanding documents that have not been turned over. bill: okay. now, you may remember, colmes, that then senator obama and then senator biden called for a special prosecutor to be appointed in the cia deal with valerie plame, do you remember that? yes. was that a witch-hunt it? might have been to some extent. because now they want a special prosecutor, the republicans,
national security. and, it doesn t seem like president obama or attorney general holder want that special prosecutor. roll this tape today. we re talking about downside of a special council. somebody knew other than these two people that all of us could buy into. senator, i think you are missing something here. i think you are missing something here. i think you are missing the fact that this is a very big deal. i m asking no more of you than senator obama and senator biden asked in investigations i think are no worse than this. bill: he is referring to valerie plame and scooter libby and all of that. get revenge for valerie plame. did you this to us. we re going to do this to you. this administration has prosecuted more people under the espionage act for example under which you actually go after whistle bill: don t you want to know who is leaking stuff about the iranians? yeah. they are acting as if this administration is not doing anything about this, doesn t ca
