I'm tired of email talk but I have a question about email that maybe I'm not understanding

I have 5 email accounts. Three for work and 2 at home personal. None of those email accounts is exclusive to any one device. I can access them from anywhere as long as I have my log in info.

So if Huma gave the log in information to all of her email accounts, why wouldn't the emails found on the dick pic laptop not already have been seen? The only thing I can think of is downloading and storing emails off of the email account, but who does that? When emails are deleted are they stored in cache or someplace on the actual device and recoverable?

I'm not an IT person or close so why would these emails be new? How can they be new if Huma gave over the email acct info for investigation?

Right. All of those emails, even if forwarded should have been seen meadowlark5 Oct 2016 #4

These are good questions but we can only speculate. The FBI hasn't even seen the emails yet. This is why Comey should have kept his mouth shut.

But if that is the way email works, even in the govt, then why would these emails even be new if they came from one of the email accounts they've already investigated?

I know it's too much for the media to wonder these same things outloud on their shows because that's not gripping and possibly corrupt, which is much more exciting for their viewers.

Apparently, she was using a printer at home. So, very unlikely anything classified.

This is a political witch hunt, plain and simple.

if they came from an account that was investigated already.

Wouldn't it be nice if our "news" would ask those questions? Because they make it seem like email accounts are exclusive to a device and these emails were never seen.

and how? We need more information and now. As someone else said, and I agree, it's a witch hunt, Swiftboating again. It's so sad many Americans can't think. As spoon fed distortions they vote on that. R's try to portray her as some loose footed agent blasting emails across the world. As another poster basically said, this is a coup attempt.

I never hear that. "The emails never came from Clinton's server or were sent from or to her". Small sentence, wouldn't take a lot of time to say and say often. But how many times has it been heard by the lustful talking heads?

more ad revenue. It's a horrible way to disseminate information, but it seems to be the best we have at this time. Several media sources push out the news for profit and are really controlled by a handful of people.

But then Comey never claimed there was something new in the emails, did he? He doesn't even know what's in the emails. He has no warrant for the emails.

Not sure if the new polls are in response to Obamacare or this.

Fucking media needs to look at what they are doing. They are the ones continuing the story with negative coverage and allowing Trump surrogates to just lie and lie.

This just makes me sick that the people in this country are so short sighted and just because the "news" doesn't remind them daily of all the horrible things Trump is, they go with what is told to them at that moment.

bothered to understand what is going on, and the future of the US. So many run off as hot headed illiterates and vote.

Just whatever is happening in front of them right then.

We do have such a gullible and ignorant electorate. That's what the republicans want and I think that is why they attack public education so much. A stupid electorate is gullible and easily manipulated.
