650,000 E-MAILS ? ( ! )

You know what impresses me?  What impresses me is the e-mail productivity there seems to be in government,  There were apparently thousands of e-mails involved in Bridge-Gate, the Christy Scandal.

Then there comes Hillary Clinton's e-mails during the four years she was Secretary of State.  Let's see. She turned over 30,000 e-mails and the FBI found another 15,000!  So 45,000 emails divided by 4 is 11,250/yr or 30.8 emails per day, every day 4 yrs or 3.1 emails/hour in a 10 hr day every day for 4 yrs. (!)

Now consider that the Secretary of State spends a lot of time in meeting dignitaries and in meetings of various kinds so the 30.1 e-mails she takes care of every hour is actually compressed into fewer hours.

But that is child's play.  Now it comes out that Hillary's assistant Huma Abedin shared a computer with her estranged sexting husband  (Anthony Weiner) on which it is said that there are 650,000 e-mails !!!!!, but presumably not all involve Hillary.

How can you do that?  Even if you keep the computer for 10 yrs, you are talking about 65,000 e-mails/year.  And if the hard drive goes, you may have lost everything.

A note here: An important factor in Hillary's classified e-mails was that everyone had security clearance.  The question was, was Hillary's e-mail server hacked?  There is no evidence that it was, though you don't always know.  This is true of Abedin also, but I suppose it is not true of her estranged husband.  So if classified e-mails are found on that computer someone is in trouble.


Note added November 2nd: It occurred to me that someone like the Russians may have broken into the laptop computer and planted hundreds of thousands of e-mails.  Unofficially it is said that about a thousand involve Hillary.  If they are planted, they may be duplicates or even fakes.
