want to do a wire tap, you have to get approval from the doj. they did that in operation fast & furious and congress has been trying to figure out who signed on that at doj which claims they didn t know big about fast & furious and what do the wire taps say, because if they say a lot of stuff about the bad aspects of fast & furious, it would undermine doj s claim they didn t know anything about fast & furious or how controversial it was. here s attorney general eric holder last year: i would be surprised if the tactics themselves, about gun walking, were actually contained in those applications. i ve not seen them, but i would be surprised if that were the case. megyn: now chairman issa says the applicables for the wire taps do have the specific details and he believes that they ve been misled by the doj. joining me now to discuss t. david rifkin, constitutional law attorney, former counsel under presidents george w.
one thing we should not debate in this day and age, that you are to be candid with congress, you have to be forthcoming and even if mr. holder did not know about those things, before testifying he should have made it his business to learn, and the notion that this you that you have these wire tap applications that were presented to senior doj officials, even in a summary, and i used to see those things, the summary is supposed to retpregto reflect what s an actual application, the fact that holder testified they didn t know anything is not credible. it s gentlemen unfort fortunate. megyn: that s the democratic ranking member of issa s committee have said look, hold and the other guys got summaries for the wire tap, they didn t get the actual applicables so they didn t know as muff as issa is suggesting. correct john? that s correct. but i frankly have a lot of trouble with that. i can t imagine the summary didn t say we have cartel drug dealers who are getting guns and deliveries a
believes he s been directly misled and how does doj defend itself? is it going to say we just saw summary? first of all i agree, summaries ought to be retprebgt dollars in the actual applicables. consider what would have happened in the national security con flex context, post 9/11, if a senior doj official says we approved a bunch of things but the summaries were so generic in the context of our wire taps, that they don t tell us anything. it would have an human crime. but i don t know what s worse, the original execution, sloppy execution of the program, or the fact that we have a justice department that had an adversarial relationship with congress from day one, has zero credibility and one, it s a criminal division, we re talking about the most important aspects of the power that the department is carrying out. i am truly stunned at the self-inflicted wound. it should be done inby partisan fashion. i m sorry that ranking member crumings is trying to
acquisitions, following a number of stories with our remote cameras. let s take a look at remote 246, the new haven, connecticut courthouse where a man is on trial. we re awaiting a verdict in the home invasion murder case. he is accused of killing a mother and her two daughters, and setting them on fire. the white house is remote camera 237 over here, the president is meeting with the south korean president, they re holding a joint news conference at 1:22:00 eastern time today. we ll follow that. and the big board, on wall street, the dow jones industrial average, lots of red arrows, today down # 12 points, lackluster finding on jobless numbers for the applicables filed this last week. jenna. jenna: gregg, right now a critical drug shortage across this country, turning deadly. hospitals are switching to drugs that in some cases aren t as effective or have different side effects. fifteen people dying as a result of either less effective medication or dosing mistakes. that s why our o
allows it to use ex-gone oxygen in the atmost fear to care to carry fuel rather than tanks. the ultimate vision is paying pay load into space at a much more affordable cost. the x51 traveled 170 miles in 200 seconds, opening the door to all sorts of military and commercial applicables. that would get you from l.a. to new york in about 44 minutes, if cue fly that duration. without the need to carry its own oxygen, this so-called scram jet engine can go tpa ers and further while burning less fuel. the first person to know it worked, the b52 pilot who launch thunderstorm. we re looking out the window and looking for it and you see something out of nowhere, this rocket screams by about a bright plume. we saw the vig, it was on profile, and people started screaming. it was really exciting, in the control room. and the and the aircraft itself is made out
