## Transcript

[00:00] I never sent or received anything that was marked
[00:04] classified. Now, if in
[00:08] retrospect which is what is behind 100 number,
[00:13] if in retrospect, some different agency said, but
[00:17] it should have been although it wasn't, it should have
[00:20] been. That's what the debate is about. But
[00:25] Director Comey said there was absolutely no intention
[00:30] on my part to either ignore or in anyway
[00:34] dismissed the importance of those documents.
[00:38] Because Marked classified. If any of you have ever
[00:41] served in the government, a classified document has a
[00:45] big heading on the top. Which, makes very clear
[00:50] what the classification is. And in questioning,
[00:56] director Comey made The point that the three emails
[01:00] out of the 30, 000 did not have the appropriate
[01:04] markings. And it was therefore reasonable to conclude
[01:08] that anyone including myself would have
[01:13] Not suspected that they were classified. So they
[01:17] have short circuited it, and for that, I will try
[01:22] to clarify, because I think Chris Wallace and I were
[01:25] probably talking past each other. Because of course,
[01:28] he could only talk to what I had told the FBI and I
[01:32] appreciated that. Now, I have acknowledged
[01:35] repeatedly that using two email accounts
[01:39] was a mistake and I take responsibility for that.
