has anybody else notice that if Hillary had as many Emails as "they" say they have found. Hillary would have had to written and composed over 8 emails an hour , for every hour, for 40 hours a week, for every week of her tenure as SOS! DAMN,,,, Hell we should all stand up and salute her for such a feat!

Your point is spot on.

(3,660 posts)I'm in a far less senior position in a far smaller organiztion and get about 120 work emails every day.

(2,931 posts)I'm pretty sure incoming emails to the SoS are also included, especially when they come from foreign ambassadors for example

(30,151 posts)That would be 32,240 (emails) a year if you take my yesterday as average, which was actually a little slow...

(8,254 posts)I'm pretty sure incoming emails to the SoS are also included as official government business and should be preserved as such, especially when they come from foreign ambassadors for example
Cryptoad
(8,254 posts)and I damn sure dont think they are my emails nor take any responsiblity for them. That would be like cause I have read War and Peace , me claiming it as my novel. Plus anything i send outgoing with my name on it , i have at least read and approved.

(2,931 posts)Any communication from a foreign dignitary does. There is a difference between an aide emailing "Do want coke or pepsi with your lunch?" vs a foreign dignitary emailing "I will donate $2 million for a 30minute meeting". The first email doesn't matter. The second does. That is why incoming emails are supposed to be retained as part of official government business, no matter what the content is.

(8,254 posts)hillary emails in my junk box to the FBI or Briebart...?
If she sent them while SoS they should be able to be recovered from her server that she tried to destroy. If she sent them after her term they are not subject to government record keeping. Any other questions?

(6,338 posts)In the corporate world, when you include written, received as addressee and received on cc: list - 200/day wasn't uncommon at the middle ranks and 300-350 higher up.
As SoS, she had to be getting 500+ a day and those probably got whittled down by a staffer to 150-200 a day that she had to deal with directly. (and that's still a monster task so this isn't meant to imply she was coasting at all)
I'm making all this up from the corporate world but 14k emails might have been 2-3 weeks worth, IMHO.

(15,235 posts)I would feel uncomfortable even commenting for MOST PEOPLE much less "everybody." In your defense: Sometimes people write hasty replies on issues, which create strong emotions.

(37,748 posts)Unsure as to the relevance of your chastisement in regards to the topic... as it might bother some people.
In your defense: sometimes it simply makes us feel more clever to project our idiosyncrasies onto others...

(70,084 posts)they ones that the FBI discovered and had when they closed the case???--and are just releasing them now. I have read a few articles last few days about these new emails--13-14,000 but they really do not say when the FBI found them. They do make a point of saying they were recovered from Hillary's old in-home server.

(58,785 posts)The right-wing tactic, usually the Judicial Watch weasels, is to request and release in batches so they can constantly have reports in the news cycle.
You know, continuation of the usual -- reports that Freedom of Information requests have "forced" the release of "new" emails, followed by speculation about what the emails contain, followed by "breaking news" of new email release, followed by and major whomping up of whatever's found, like comment on someone anxious to be invited to a party.

(58,785 posts)as cleared by the FBI. It's all smoke and mirrors -- implications of wrongdoing where the FBI itself has already reported none was found. After this release will be another, and another.
Wikileaks/Assange has copied this pattern that Judicial Watch and the mainstream press institutionalized. He has no damaging information, but he can announce a new set of documents will be released with new damaging evidence, let the press speculate, then release. Then start the whole thing all over again.
If any of this is reminiscent of Joseph McCarthy's strike and move to the next accusation as soon as nothing is found with the first, it's because it's very similar. Allegations destroy.
The press has been using these implications of "new" damaging "evidence" from an endless series of phony might-be scandals to fill its 24/7/365 needs for decades now and is invested in not revealing them for what they are.

(25,704 posts)An email chain is counted multiple times. So if there is an original email with three attachments, that is 4 documents. Send it three times that is 16 documents.
Numbers add up fast.

(15,235 posts)As for the surprise attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, what did critics of Hillary expect the Secretary of State to do? Even if Clinton had received advance warning of the surprise attack, this image doesn't seem diplomatic. But. apparently Trump supporters expect more than diplomacy from the U.S. Secretary of State.
As for Teflon Don; why is he still hiding a massive amount of financial information from the government and media? Has he got anything in common with other known criminals?
