I care a lot about privacy. I also care an awful lot about public safety. There continues to be a huge collision between those two things we care about.

Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked 'classified' in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.

If conduct is intentional, it could subject some of the criminal liability.

Half of the devices that we encounter in terrorism cases, in counterintelligence cases, in gang cases, in child pornography cases, cannot be opened with any technique. That is a big problem. And so the shadow continues to fall.

Our need for public safety and our need for privacy are crashing into each other and we've got to sort that out.

There are two things that matter in a criminal investigation of a subject.What did the person do, and when they did that thing, what were they thinking? When you look at the hundred-years-plus of the Justice Department investigation and prosecution of mishandling of classified information, those two questions are obviously present.

I shouldn't talk about individuals in an open forum, at least without thinking about it better.
