But your directive was to make sure that the Department of Justice did not get the FBI information, that no one got it except the supervisors. Why would they request it if they would never get it? Well, the supervisors were told to stand down. What I'm trying to say is, when that email came in, we acted as fast as we could, I think the same day to say we are not in a position to do that. Everybody hit pause till we figure out what to do. And the end result was, we at the FBI are not complying with that request to publicly do so. And we told agents that if you feel the need to express that information to your supervisors, only do so on the classified system. Okay. The information that I received, that. That info, that personal conversation that I had that in for, that agent didn't seemed like he felt the need he felt it was a directive. (1:40:01–1:40:30)
