U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX-32), Chairman of the House Rules Committee, today released the following statement in response to FBI Director James B. Comey's announcement regarding his recommendation to not bring charges against Hillary Clinton's irresponsible use of her private email server:

"While Director Comey's announcement that he would not recommend that charges be brought against Hillary Clinton was unsurprising, it serves as yet another reminder that the integrity of this investigation has been politicized from start to finish. Instead of creating certainty and instilling faith in our justice system, the Director's statement only raised more questions about the process.

"The FBI's report found that Mrs. Clinton used not one but multiple private servers, transmitted 110 emails that were classified at the time, and deleted "personal" emails that contained professional and most likely sensitive information. Despite these facts, the FBI still concluded that Mrs. Clinton did not break the law or, at the bare minimum, know that her actions were completely irresponsible. How can the American people expect our law enforcement officials to hold others accountable if we do not hold a former Secretary of State and current candidate to hold the highest office in the country to the highest standard of the law? It is abundantly clear to me that Hillary Clinton broke the law, lied to the public, and betrayed the trust of the American people, and I sincerely hope justice will prevail and she will be held accountable for her lawless actions."
