On meeting directly with the FBI agents who wrongly classified information

On meeting directly with the FBI agents who wrongly classified information:

“I looked them in the eye and I told them, this is not information that should be classified. This is not a source. Or this is not a method.
They looked at me and they said, WE AGREE WITH YOU.
WE didn’t do that, OUR SUPERIORS DID….our bosses did.”

“This is part of the problem. The mid level of the FBI…..they are GOOD PEOPLE.
The FBI AGENTS….they are GOOD PEOPLE.
They’re trying to do their work.
They are being literally RAILROADED by the LEADERSHIP OF THE FBI.”

“We need to CLEAN HOUSE AT THE TOP.
Everybody knows this.
The FBI AGENTS themselves know this.”
