Comey: No New Charges!

[Littlejoe]

Ok. Just to show AGAIN that you're an idiot...

If they were merely talking about an email account, those are not stored on the local computer. There were 650,000 emails STORED on the laptop, which means they were already downloaded to the local computer, which eliminates the necessity to access the email account at all. At best, it was an Outlook profile .pst file, which is still accessible without a password

So just stop. You are frustratingly ignorant, and unwilling to acknowledge facts from those who know better.

I can't imagine that .pst files stored on the local drive would be allowed for classified emails...but that would be Huma's mishandling error not Clintons. We don't allow that here for any reason, and we're just a Health insurance provider. In fact, .pst's are now no longer allowed period. (In the past, they were allowed on a secure server, but no longer for security reasons)

Apparently frank-n-beans isn't familiar with how email software works.

We still use them here. It's the most convenient way to access emails when the server has lost connection, or if you want to cache your emails locally so you can connect, cache, then disconnect to read them.

Yet another item to add to the pile of his ignorance...

Actually, no. The Director of the FBI serves at the President's leisure, and answers to him alone.

Within the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI is responsible to the attorney general, and it reports its findings to U.S. Attorneys across the country

The point was he acted against the polices of those he's responsible to.

Apparently a lot of the e-mails were just copies of the previous ones. You can use a computer to find all the duplicates, which could reduce the workload dramatically and leave far fewer e-mails that need to be manually looked at.

Honestly though, I don't think there's a conspiracy here. They looked at the e-mails, didn't find anything more incriminating than they had before. However incorrect someone may think the original decision not to indict Hillary was, if there's not anything extra to substantiate an indict, the original decision stands.

Let's say that every email in the first set was duplicated in the second. What was the first set around 60K? take that from 660K and you are still left with 600K emails to go through.

What would be the reason to go against protocol, announce to Congress you found a batch of new emails not knowing what the emails even contain, take heat from the public, the DOJ, and even Obama for doing it, then close the case a week later? It doesn't make sense. If you argue Comey was being political and trying to help Trump, this obviously backfired since he exonerated her before election. Arguing he announced it to initially help Hillary doesn't make sense either because he initially exonerated her the first time, thus taking all this heat was unnecessary. It doesn't make any sense as not a conspiracy lol.

It makes sense if Comey was trying to find a way to indict Hillary after taking the blowback from letting her skate on the first round, but then he got blackmailed by the Clintons/Obama/Justice Dept to drop it FAST or else.

Remember, Hillary's server was a PC in a closet. There were no security measures. At either end.

Not really, no. If he was trying to redeem himself and his rep, it makes sense that he would have waited to find something substantive in the emails. That way, he not only would have avoided the chance of the DOJ burying the case before the evidence could get out, but it would have justified his actions before the public. As you see, his actions made him even more of a public pariah from both the left and right. It also doesn't square with the fact FBI was withholding the investigative report from Congress in the first place (for some reason, everyone seems to ignore this detail). And I don't buy the idea he took any heat from within the department, at least not openly, or that he would have even cared if he did. I have no doubt agent underlings were whispering discontent among themselves, why would he even care about that? I assume he was smart to predict such a reaction beforehand.

but ummm after they de-duplicated it and got rid of Weiner's porn spam, they were only left with 10 emails. Yeah, that's the ticket.

"We did a search for the phrase 'Hillary is a crook' and didn't find any results so we can only conclude that there is nothing there."

Ed Snowden is running his mouth about it, claiming an old laptop could have sorted through the remaining 600K emails in a few days. He thinks a keyword search is "combing through the emails"...

yeah. Unless you know each and every variation of a phrase or word someone might use, you could miss something important. A keyword tells you only what is there, not what you missed. If they search for "Hillary", they might miss emails with "HRC" or "Clinton" or "Hill" etc. (as a simple example) - heck they might just refer to her in an email as "the witch") - it takes eyes on to make sure nothing is missed. deduping can eliminate some, but even if every one of those 33K emails was duplicated, you would still have over 620K emails to sift through. You can eliminate the junk mail pretty quick. And the porn. But I am sure that still leaves many thousands to comb through.

As the saying goes, none of this passes the smell test.

Actually, there is quite a bit of damning things in the content. The problem is that it's damning in a cumulative way, which requires not just sources able to comb through all the information to pick out the relevant points, but then piecing it all together. But there's so much cumulative info to piece together and adsorb that it's easy for it all to get lost (whether buried intentionally by the MSM or unintentionally by a short attention span public) in the fray.
