Asked whether Clinton's testimony that she did not email "any classified material to anyone on my email" and "there is no classified material" was true, Comey responded, "No, there was classified material emailed."
"Secretary Clinton said she used one device. Was that true?" Gowdy asked, to which Comey answered, "She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of state."
Gowdy then asked whether it was true that Clinton, as she said, returned all work-related emails to the State Department.
"No, we found work-related emails, thousands that were not returned," Comey said.

I agree with you, head to toe, I agree with you.
yes I know she’s note eorking there anymore.
and I’m also aware that justice & fbi are not going to prosecute her.
I just tried to repeat what comey stated as consequences he thought could apply to this situation.
I have no idea who could sanction here, but at least ryan it tryin to make an issue out of withholding her security clearance as the dem nominee.
No one in Comeys view can do anything
Ryan will not do anything
Whatever.
Gowdy has NO scalps on his wall.
I was unable to listen to the entire session, so maybe this was asked in some form. I’d love to know Comey’s answer to this:
Hillary created and maintained an expensive, troublesome series of private servers, ignored briefings and warnings about handling classified information properly — and she signed a formal acknowledgement that she understood those requirements, used an unsecured Blackberry after being told not to, made no effort to turn over copies of vast numbers of official documents until forced to by court action against the DoS, caused layers of lawyers without security clearances to access, assess, and delete her messages, destroyed numerous government documents she has never produced, caused her server(s) to be “wiped” so as to make investigation much more difficult, etc. If all this was NOT to evade requirements for proper handling of government information, then what exactly was her intent?
What did she tell the FBI her “intent” was? Was it “convenience” as Clinton has repeatedly claimed? Do you find that credible? Would simply using as .gov email account, seems more “convenient” by compared to all these machinations?
What are the conceivable alternatives to intentional mishandling? Do any of them pass a “reasonable doubt” test?
I think his motives are simpler than that. Comey got appointed because he is pro-Obama. He has convinced himself that it would set a terrible precedent and be wrong for the FBI to appear to be a deciding factor in a Presidential election.
Of course, ignoring the law and letting a guilty candidate skate despite overwhelming evidence, equally constitutes being a potential deciding factor in a Presidential election. He wants Hillary to win.
All you said was the meat and bones of Republicans this afternoon. Comey had to assume Hillary’s motivations, because the evidence was clear as a crystal bell.
They wanted to shoot themselves, I’m sure, listening to Comey alternately excoriate and then exonerate the Beast.
When cornered, Comey pulled the card that said, “no criminal intent”. If trouble arose there, he circled right back to pull the card that said, “extreme carelessness”.
Basically those were the legal defenses in a nut shell.
The whole thing revolved around BS, given the gravity of the secrets she had to receive and had to send.
Where’s my bumper sticker?
You know? The one that says:
“TOO STUPID TO SERVE”
Thanks for the reply. I find it very hard to admit that we are just subjects of a corrupt regime, that does whatever it pleases because it can. It’s depressing, but there is no other explanation.
It’s downright scary if I dwell on it. Comey set a precedent, as you well know.
What it means is sloppy is now legal, even if lives depend on it.
God, help us. She can not be president.
Be patient. Comey and his crew are sitting on the mother lode. The last thing we want is for him to hand it off to lynch. It’s like poker. Don’t show them your hand. Be patient. Timing is everything.

I've finally given up - I feel the system's rigged. The country I loved it dead.
That said, a small part of my heart is praying that you're right - and I'm wrong. That there can be hope...
With both time and hope running low, and the convention coup attempt moving along on schedule, against the only man even addressing US collapse and DC corruption, I guess I don’t believe patience counts for much anymore.
If something could be sprung, and if timing was actually meaningful, whatever “something” is, it would have shown its face by now.
