Following up now, a couple government stories. Earlier this week, we reported on the scandal involving the IRS. The agency admitted that when groups from the Tea Party movement and other conservative groups applied for tax exempt status, their applications were targetted for extra review, was basically politial bias. You can get all the details on what happened in the transcript for Monday show.
The acting commissioner of the IRS was forced to resign this week because of the scandal. The reaction from across Washington, outrage.
--Whether you're a republican or a democrater independent in this country, to take the abuse of a 3.8-trillion government, the power of that government and to use it to stifle oppositon is profoundly un-American.
--It should not matter what political stride you're from, but the fact of matter is that the IRS has to operate with absolute integrity. The governemnt generally ask to conduct itself in a way that is true to the public trust, that's specially true for the IRS. It's inexcusable, and America is right to angery about it.
--There are laws in place to prevent this type of abuse.
--My question isn't about who is gonna to resign. My queation is who's going to jail over the scandal.
The other follow up is about a terrorist attack against US facility in Benghazi, Libya last year. 4 Americans were killed including the American ambassador in Libya.
There's been a lot of criticism about how president Obama's administration responded. Wednesday, the White House released more than 100 pages of e-mails about that response. The communications between the White House, CIA and the state department, show how the administration developed its talking points. That's the information the government would share publicly.
Representative Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight Committe explained why Congress is holding hearings about Benghazi.
--Our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to tax payers. Because tax payers have the right to know what they get from their government.
