Edward Snowden Shows Just How Fast The FBI Could Read Hillary Clinton’s Emails
Minutes after FBI Director James Comeys announcement on Sunday that Hillary Clinton wont face charges over recently uncovered emails, supporters of Donald Trump broke out the conspiracy theories:
Leaving aside the false assumption that just one agent would have to read all of the emails found on former Congressman Anthony Weiners laptop, it turns out machines are a lot smarter than Flynn seems to think.
Reports indicated that nearly every email on the laptop was a duplicate of messages the agency had already examined ― something NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said the FBI wouldve been able to figure out within hours.
In response to a question from Jeff Jarvis, professor and director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New Yorks Graduate School of Journalism, Snowden explained how to sort the duplicates:
