Related: About this forumExplain this to me.. How would different emails be on Wieners device than Hillary's server??? HMMMMM
I have a computer and a smart phone.. I get emails on both devices.. they are the same emails.. and if Hillary had her own server, I have the same server for both devices.. all emails coming in and going out.. would be the same emails even from the Wiener laptop.. does that make sense? There are no new emails out there.. these are the ones the FBI has already looked at..

(32,606 posts)They have had them for 5 weeks and have not bothered to look at them because they know they are dups.
The NY office knows what they are doing and their boss is just another political operative.

(25,485 posts)I actually have 3 different email domains that I have to use at work, (due to recent mergers) and 2 different phones, and a mobile device....none of my mobile devices store mail....if using a laptop, I am still only downloading and replicating email from a single server...
There are no new emails..this is nothing but a smear campaign..
Bernie was right, no-one wants to hear about any more damn emails..

(30,481 posts)Will still reside on the account they were forwarded to.
It's very possible they are seeing new information not on Clintons server. It's also very possible they are insignificant.

(68,456 posts)thanks to Congress refusing to do their job and fix infrastructure, they were forwarded and printed on Huma's printer...they were not for Sec Clinton...and Comey does not even have them. You are right...the FBI has seen these emails. This is a political stunt and will backfire.

(13,570 posts)forwarded to her account connected to the home laptop. Not all were just from her account that ran through the Clinton server.
So they need to check if any of those had classified information. Clinton did not send or receive the emails in question. They were emails from other staff, state dept. officials that went to Huma for Hillary as she was the main "gatekeeper" of communications for Hillary, and Huma would print off the emails and give them to Hillary in hard copy because they were more readable that way, and that is what Hillary preferred.
So what this is really all about is how Huma Abedin managed email which she printed off for Hillary. And so they need to screen just to see if there was anything classified. Any other emails connected to Abedin already investigated by the FBI showed nothing was classified. So again,
Hillary did not send these emails, nor did she receive these emails in electronic form. She saw hard copy printouts provided by Abedin. They are not connected to Hillary's accounts or devices. It is very possible that most of the emails are copies already seen by the FBI.
There is no indication or evidence at all that Clinton or Abedin did anything at all illegal here, or anything like that. Comey would still have been in compliance with his testimony before congress by NOT sending that vague letter since he testified that he would continue to investigate if anything new arose. He broke longstanding protocol by doing that. He should clarify this issue and that BOTCHED vague letter right now.

(13,570 posts)loaded them onto that laptop and printed them off at home? It sounds like that's what happened.

(9,766 posts)About 30K?
Did any of those deleted emails get forwarded to Huma's yahoo account and not deleted there? If so, that would make them new to the investigation.
Not saying that's what is happening here, but it's not hard to grasp the concept...

(35,015 posts)So - the emails are related to her work at the State Department (thereby related to Hillary), and merely duplicates of what the FBI has already seen.
B2G
(9,766 posts)Then they would be net new to the FBI.
Avalux
(35,015 posts)I maintain this is all much ado about nothing. Merely procedural.
B2G
(9,766 posts)And 30K remaining, I'd say it's about a 50-50 chance they're net new.
Just hope we find out before the election.

(35,015 posts)FBI needs to give the public access to these emails - NOW.
