The Federal Bureau of Investigation has long been regarded as our nation's premier federal investigative agency.

When federal agents and prosecutors quietly open a criminal investigation, we are not concealing anything; we are simply following the longstanding policy that we refrain from publicizing non-public information. In that context, silence is not concealment.

Derogatory information sometimes is disclosed in the course of criminal investigations and prosecutions, but we never release it gratuitously.
