"Congressional oversight of Justice Department activities is obviously very important, and I will respect Congress' role."

"I can make those pledges both to ensure that people are given the opportunity to blow the whistle and they will not be retaliated against."

"I agree with you that there has to be, to the extent possible, unambiguous direction given to our people in the field."

"I did not agree, I do not agree with the decision with respect to that pardon."
