There are several outcomes of an expedited review that could seriously redress the damage.

For one,it could be found that all the emails in question were simple duplicates of previously reviewed ones (which is actually the most likely situation--it sounds like there were multiple back ups created unintentionally, with nested attachments, etc.

Or, Hillary might not be either sender or receiver of a great number, and the rest might be dupes,

I really doubt that the missing 30k are going to surface on this machine, which is the implied big kahuna.

That's great, but the GOP

That's great, but the GOP parades "100 classified" and suggests hacking her to find the lost 30,000 emails - the actual tiny potential damage of 4 emails doesn't make it through the media machine - not Fox's coverage, not NY Times reporting, especially not Trump's speeches.

Again, NY Times' *BOARD* put a period in the middle of Hillary's sentence to make something like "open borders for energy" into "open borders." Sure, some facts *could be* better than no facts, but I'm skeptical that even flattering news would make it through unskewed.

With truly awesome respect, I disagree. Some facts is better than no factsl

I have a vague memory that Hillary's server had been used for something like 30,000

and the number of those that were classified was something like 100. And when those

were further scrubbed to eliminate things like classified personnel actions with no security issues,

the final nut averaged around 12 per year.

Which would sound a lot less worrying than " many thousands".

There's no way in 5 days it would clear her - no way anything definitive could be said except something bad - at this point it can only make it worse. We are where we are.

The numbers are daunting,

In reply to Thanks.

The numbers are daunting, barring internal dupes, if there are really over half a million unique emails, there is the gap between that and the reported 30k shredded plus what was produced on Clinton's side.

That said, it's obvious that if Loretta Lynch picks up the phone and calls the Department of Defense for judge advocates who have security clearance, she can multiply the number of team members exponentially, and do the job as suggested above.

If she wants.

Don't be. There will then be

Don't be. There will then be the question of whether Weiner had unauthorized confidential mails on his laptop and why. With another 30 congressional hearings to explore.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Not to be over optimistic I think it is possible that everything will indeed be a duplicate if they've

already searched Hillary's server for received emails.

I would search for the words

I would search for the words 'Benghaaaazzi', Vince Foster, Al Qaeda, Bring the suitcase of cash to my State Department office, rigged election, international banker elite, + all ISIS telephone numbers. Bound to be in there. Or assign one on his Hillary hating FBI grunts to....be creative and stuff.

Comey would seal the nomination for AG in the Trump administration.

That's not how it works

That's not how it works unless every email is a duplicate of previously looked at email. Anything even slightly suspicious has to be sent to several government agencies. Each has to decide if the email is classified and at what level. The document becomes classified at the highest level any agency decides. In other words if agency A claims the document doesn't rank classification and agency B decides to classify it as Top Secret, Top Secret it becomes. Even if when it was sent it had no classification.

That's just a part of how fucked up the classification system is.

Fuck Comey. He's already done

Fuck Comey. He's already done enough to screw up this election. He should go to an undisclosed location and gag himself for the next week. I know that Clinton wants him to come clean on what they get from Weiner's device (ahem), but I highly doubt that it will be clean (ahem again). There were will be more embarrassing revelations that fall short of anything indictable, and the media will debate the implications until the clock runs out. Not good for Clinton. Not good for democracy. Comey should stop talking to the press. Period.
