"the duty of the Justice Department is to defend statutes that have been passed by Congress, unless there is some very compelling reason not to."

"I think one component of it, at least as I understand it--you can correct me if I am wrong--was that for an initial--the first time a person comes across, I don't think they are jailed."

"I sent corrupt public officials from both parties to jail."

"the tools that we have been given by Congress in FISA are important ones."
