I am just off up the the wooden stairs to Bedfordshire, so I may come back to this early tomorrow, but good news for Trump haters methinks !

FBI Director James Comeys job security if Clinton gets in must be zero.

probably the truest thing said about this campaign donny

They probably didn't need to check "650,000" emails as I said earlier.
They found some related to Clinton, so they'd have already known what they were looking for.
It is all rather odd, though.

Can you imagine how many people it would take to check everyone's emails every day (!)

donny, I don't hold out much hope for him if Trump gets in either.

I reckon I could get through a few thousand a day myself if all I was looking for was "I see HC's been emailing Isis again", ichkeria. As the emails were neither sent nor received by her, there's no need to scrutinise every word of them.

I wonder if people are assuming that someone (or a team of people) had to read each email to "check" it. Not really. If you know what to look for it's possible to "check" a document or documents that stretch to hundreds of pages, eg by searching for keywords, and that doesn't take a computer long at all. According to the Times this morning, many or most of the new emails were found to be duplicates of ones the FBI already had on record -- again, software exists to automate comparison quickly, so I can well imagine this task being done in a day or less, leaving maybe a few hundred "new" emails to sort through.

Not a difficult task at all in principle, then, to have cleared this latest batch of emails in just over a week.

Still leaves the question: "why was this revealed in the first place, before the investigation had properly started?"

Don't all these statements by Trump about Clinton amount to slander? If so, why doesn't she do something about it?

[DTCwordfan]

very difficult to land that one in the USA, bhg, under the First Amendment, freedom of speech and all that.

[DTCwordfan]

what is disgraceful is that 40 mln have already voted and many therefore may well have been duped. If Trump was to win, then I would surmise that this could result in court cases to render the election null and void.

latest polling as of yesterday, Clinton by 5%, early polling suggesting wider but then there's a high Hispanic vote that is coming through.

Talbot - //Tell me all about the FBI's manpower, andy ... I'm all ears. //

I am simply using logical thought here - the biggest security service in the richest economy, it stands to reason that resources and finances are not going to be a problem.

We need not assume that they need to physically read each e-mail from end to end, I am sure they will have sophisticated software that will scan and pick up key words and phrases, so multitudes of mails can be scanned in nanoseconds, but again, I hasten to add that this is simply a logical conclusion, I have no inside knowledge of the FBI systems.

[DTCwordfan]

Incredibly powerful that they are, andy......when Intel launched the pentium, they were working on a 'nonium' equivalent - guess who gets first use and it ain't us.....have seen some evidence of the power of these more advanced processors in the past for holographic use and not the then-latest most advanced model.

[youngmafbog]

And the Clinton foundatin where only 10% gets to charity and it appears it paid 3m USD for Chelsea's wedding?

All smacks of Establishment cover up to me, but then no surprise. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one thinking that.

[jim360]

If it were an establishment cover-up they wouldn't even have mentioned the investigation.

I don't know what Donald is worried about .

He can count on the electoral college votes of Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk , to get him over the line
