material. so we want to be cautiously optimistic. we want to believe in them because our record, 12,000 men and women, 75 i.g.s has been good. if we can t make the i.g. system work, the self-enforcement in government then we can t make government work. we re cautiously optimistic but we re going to read the report carefully. greta: it s painfully sloel slow for this family? it s painfully slow. even the unsealing of the warrants that led to arrest undutyly were slow in coming. the terry family, i ll be next week i ll be in arizona. we re dedicating the border patrol station that brian worked out of in his name. only second time in history it took a long time but.
the report including what is asserted under executive privilege. how in the world is it going to be profoundly different than the information you have accumulated in your hearings? we are trying to be cautiously optimistic. our experience with i.g.s are good. they are partners in moving out waste and fraud. we are going to wait to see the documents. greta: the very thing you want, that you think is going to give you so much information congress that has fought for. he has specifically told for you are not going to get it. what in the world could be possibly new? first of all he can reach conclusions. for example, he can reach the conclusion that lenny brewer or eric holder or jason weinstein knew enough they should have taken action, knew enough about the cover-up. he could reach a conclusion without submitting redacted

rather than to prevent it. you are right. there needs to be a beefing up in congress of the oversight that needs to happen. i don t want to say that we re under manned, but to give you an example. there are 80 people on my staff. the largest majority staff in the congress. a budget of couple million dollars. i.g.s alone represent 12,000 people and $2 billion. so, it s obviously a big job. we are never going to equal what the inspector general are due for the government but we need to look at the information much quicker, digest it. and make changes. greta: all right. brian d. miller is the inspector general on your list. what are you going to ask him? among other things we ll ask frankly, what he thought
more and more if you, will easy to do. by the time it came to the $800,000 party, the fact is that the damage had been going on for a period of time unchecked. and you make the most important point, which is congress has to be proactive. we have to see the trends coming. we have to have more direct relations with the i.g.s and with all the other parts of governments. in other words we need transparency to be part of the solution. whether an administration is ready to take action or not. greta: how do we get that? how do the american people get that? we watch congress fight over the budget. one side wants taxes raised. another side doesn t want the taxes raised. we look at the waste and fraud and we think to ourselves as taxpayers, maybe you ought to start doing your oversight and stop wasting stuff. maybe we don t need as much money. the american people are watching you guys, you i appreciate you copping here, but a lot of it, you know, really, you know, the problem is you members
