Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

We have no basis to conclude she [Hillary Clinton] lied to the FBI.

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

The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014... I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.

The Clinton investigation was a completed investigation that the FBI had been deeply involved in, so I had an opportunity to understand all the facts and apply those facts against the law as I understood them. This investigation was under way - still going when I was fired. So it's nowhere near in the same place.

I'm in the business where I can't ever say there's no risk associated with someone.

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.
