Citizens who devote their careers to public service deserve at least the same benefit of the doubt that we give friends and relatives who do not spend nights and weekends risking their reputations, and sometimes their lives, to protect America.

If lawyers cannot prove our case in court, then what we believe is irrelevant.

I give the investigation credibility, i can land the plane. by Rod Rosenstein

I give the investigation credibility, i can land the plane.

It's not our job to render conclusive factual findings. We just decide whether it is appropriate to file criminal charges.

It lasted a long time, we're glad it's over, it's 100 % the way it should have been. I wish it could have gone a lot sooner, a lot quicker.

There are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things. Very bad things. I would say treasonous things against our country and hopefully people that have done such harm to our country. We've gone through a period of really bad things happening. Those people will certainly be looked at, we can never let this happen to another president again. I can tell you that. I say it very strongly. Very few people I know could have handled it.

Haven't thought about it. by Rod Rosenstein

Haven't thought about it.

If we aren't prepared to prove our case beyond a reasonable doubt in court, then we have no business making allegations against American citizens.

I think that you can be misled if you just follow the internet or cable TV about what American people think and how appropriately skeptical they are of information, i think people are appropriately able to balance different considerations, and so I am relatively optimistic about it.

My view is that the Department of Justice is best served when people are confident that we're going to operate -- when we're investigating American citizens, in particular -- we're going to do it with appropriate sensitivity to the rights of uncharged people.

Do you trust Mr. Mueller to be fair to the President and the country ? Will you make sure he can finish his job ? If you get the report, will you be as transparent as possible ? Ive asked him those questions, and Im very comfortable with his answers.

I have admired Bill Barr for decades, and I believe that Bill Barr for decades will be Bill Barr for decades, many people offer unsolicited advice, directly or through the news media, about legal issues they believe are pending before the Department of Justice. At no time did former Attorney General Barr seek or receive from me any non-public information regarding any ongoing investigation, including the Special Counsel investigation. His memo has had no impact on the investigation.

I think he's a superb choice for attorney general, he certainly understands the work, understands the priorities of the department.

Most people are familiar with the first clause of our oath, the requirement to 'support and defend the Constitution.' But some overlook the final clause: to 'well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office,' the first obligation is generic. It imposes a duty to pursue the national interest over any private interest. That applies equally to all government employees.

I would follow the regulation, if there were good cause, I would act. If there were no good cause, I would not.

The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect, i will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Notwithstanding my personal affection for Director Comey, I thought it was appropriate to seek a new leader.

Bruce Ohr is a career employee of Justice Department. Bruce Ohr was there when I arrived. To my knowledge, Bruce Ohr wasn't working on the Russia matter, when we learned of the relevant information, we arranged to transfer Mr. Ohr to a different office.

One of the difficulties Robert Jackson faced was what Robert Jackson called the' unpleasant duty' of responding to congressional inquiries.
