Computers! How do they work?
UPDATE: And now Bigboy jumps on the unpossible wagon!

Donald Trump responds to FBI letter: "You can't review 650,000 new emails in 8 days."

(8,377 posts)#1 probably 90% of the stuff on that server was Anthony's so thiose can be ignored.
#2 the only thing relevant to the earlier investigation would be emails either from or to Hillary. There might be a few hundred of these.
#3 it is highly likely that 100% of those emails were already reviewed and cataloged. It just wouldn't take very long to match these.

(24 posts)I am sure the Republican assembly lives so far in the past that they fail to understand that there is something that is called a computer with software that can search for a number of parameters and scan a high volume of data very quickly. Technology is lost on them so all they do is continue to show us how stupid they really are!

(19,114 posts)Search function is handy.
I have at least 75,000 emails in my archive, I can search it easily and return every email from or to a specific person in about 3 seconds. They probably ran it through a few searches and did the same. And we still don't know how many personal emails from or to Hillary there were, maybe it was 5.

(14,837 posts)They can I'd forwarded emails with diff headers, as well as sections of messages embedded in other messages.
They knew by Monday morning. Probably sooner. They just slow walked the process with devastating results.

napi21
(45,806 posts)programs that can sort out information like emails to/from a particular person? Run your data through one of those programs and I'm surprised it took them NINE FRIGGIN DAYS to get the result! It shouldn't have taken more than three days max.

(11,155 posts)to search email archives in zip files on DVD's for certain email addresses. IIRC... it took less than a week to search 4 or 5 years worth of emails from a small/medium sized life insurance company. That was 5+ years ago.

(11,001 posts)were only a few they thought relevant to Hillary. Of course, repubs will never understand this. Moving on.

(8,224 posts)It is amazing how fast computers run these days. Once you use an algorithm to eliminate of all the duplicates of messages already reviewed, the list gets apparently much shorter.

Looking up "dipshit" on google. About 1,220,000 results (0.35 seconds) as per google.
One thing that probably took some time was cloning the hard drive. Since they wouldn't want to accidentally delete or modify anything. Keeping the hard drive in original condition is important for evidence in a possible case.
Edit: forgot to mention it was a 10 year old laptop. What size hard drive do they think it had? By the time system files, program files, wiener's files, free space, etc are on the computer how much hard drive would even be left?

(56 posts)They know full well that the review was done correctly in nine days.. they count on low information tRump supporters to have no clue as to how a computer and software work.

(14,837 posts)Hundreds of papers through a package to detect plagerism in minutes. It searches the internet for phrases, and can find matches from millions of sources.
What the fbi did was child's play.

(1,907 posts)Not how many emails.

(17,194 posts)cut the number that required further examination down considerably.
LynnTTT
(362 posts)When I can't find an old email I need, I just search by name, or subject and up pops the many emails that match that search. And I suspect the FBI and it's staff have more up to date devices and software than my connections.
