It was -- waiting for this report for quite some time.
What do we expected to get it.
Well there's going to be a lot in -- Martha -- it's important let me know tell you for for reasons number one it goes down as the official record.
Of a US operation already credited with the death of one man.
And it could be tied to as many as 300 more -- -- of justice has that information they've refused to give it out.
You -- the in inspector general's report could tell us numbers if not names -- -- the scope.
The Bryan Terry family members of congress the public has gone almost two years for this you go back to -- -- a 2011.
When all these agencies deny this type of operation even existed.
Only after senator Grassley -- this mountain of evidence did the attorney general appoint the inspector general.
-- -- To basically look into this to get congress office back they looked at 70000 documents -- ten times more than congress so we should know a lot more.
Thirdly right or wrong this is a partisan issue many conservatives believe that the administration.
Cooked this up as a way to justify.
There impose stricter gun controls are laws if you will.
There's some of -- -- -- -- that's true Democrat citizens you know -- actually allow guns into another country knowing that they're killing people to push a political agenda.
And finally finger pointing their -- justices this was Arizona's fault this is created and executed solely by officials there.
And of course Arizona says wait a minute Washington is not ignorance we told them.
The entire time.
If were guilty sore today Martha.
-- it's going to be -- to see you know the documents that they were able to really look at in order to conclude all of this.
So what would happen next after the report comes out what do we expect.
Well we expect that several things number one.
This is going to assign responsibility to those people who were involved who approved this thing.
And so we believe that we could have swift and sure punishment if you will people can get fired.
Within demoted or suspended within 48 hours but I told -- that a lot of code language here that sometimes you have to read behind.
Between the lines a little bit.
Also congress is going to be looking at this not just -- see that those responsible are held held accountable.
But it possibly government reform so doesn't happen again.
We'll look for.
Where is the -- Level the breakdown occurred -- was it just bad judgment as it was with some of the local agents in Phoenix war was -- in fact.
Some sort of -- institutional problem that needs to be corrected by legislation or regulation.
Bottom line Martha we should have that sometime this afternoon eastern time in the we'll look at 400 pages that tell you what it -- you know really got smacked -- -- thank you very much.
