Why don't you volunteer to help them,

Because I'm not a computer. If they don't have a computer program to compare an email against other emails in their database, they are fucking idiots.

Speaking of idiots... I mentioned that they didn't have a warrant yesterday, and the hillary haters club all said of course they have a warrant. https://patrick.net/?p=1298002&c=1340017#comment-1340017 Do you think any of them will admit that they were wrong, or will they take the Trump route and deny deny deny?

At least she had the guts to criticize Israel over the attacks on the Palestinians. Nobody else that was connected bothered to do that.

And while I am at it, I have nothing against Lesbians personally. Die, you are kind of a bigot aren't you?

Coolest Scooby Doo ending ever!

Classic "the buck stops here!" stuff

Bernie was the inevitable reaction from the left. Same impetus, different angle.

Whatever happens in the election, Hillary is the end of the democratic party in the same way Bush jr was the end of the republican party. PC culture and SJW's have been exposed for the evil they are. Brexit showed the world that globalism can be stopped.

Minus the whole Satin II missile aimed at Chelsea's condo in Manhattan, times are looking up.

Comey hurt the feelings of lesbians and IHLs everywhere, which just goes to show that men are beasts.

Just shows what kind of people vote for her, the perverts and mentally ill with sexual issues.

YesYNot says

The 30K work-related emails was not the senior moment. The 3 emails that contained a small amount of classified information were senior moments. The ones that were marked classified were not marked correctly. That doesn't make it OK, but backs up the senior moment claim.

With over 30K emails erased that were deemed "personal" by Hillary, how many of those do you think were truly classified emails? Once again, why go against the subpoena and erase over 30K emails if they didn't contain anything to worry about? If she didn't want any personal emails exposed, she shouldn't have co-mingled work and personal on a private server.

At least they aren't the deplorables who couldn't see a racist when he smacks them in the face with it. You should read up on Murray Rothbard, anarcho capitalist Libertarian. He was a total racist. And Trump says many things Rothbard says.

DieBankOfAmericaPhukkingDie says

just like the twisted libby she is!

You are an idiot sometimes. You have strong women fears like Donald Trump has?

rando says

The demand that you restrict your speech to 31 random made-up pronouns or face employment or legal consequences is actually closely related to the wholesale export of manufacturing to China

Wtf ? The social justice warrior gender nonsense is self correcting. 70% of the people I talk to on a regular basis are "liberals." And at most, one of them buys into that bullshit (and he is someone that I dislike). The fact that there are some students and some professors at universities that are on the lower end of any measurable intelligence distribution, or that have some strange issues, doesn't mean that all universities are somehow fucked up.

Why is it that right wingers do this ? THat is look at extreme rare cases and generalize ? I guess maybe they look at the phenomenon of gay marriage, and think that if that can become mainstream, so can anything. I've got news for you. It can't, and it doesn't take a Trump movement to stop SJWs. The internet is and has done a pretty good job of shaming them when they get ridiculous. And meanwhile there should be such a thing as a legitimate and justifiable social justice cause. Police shooting too many people and not being accountable enough is one good example. (causing many police forces to adopt body camera policies, which is a great idea). Sometimes even whacky activists make a positive difference.

You're not going to turn back the clock on homosexuality and put it back in the closet. But the Kaitlin Jenners of the world will always be a small minority.

As for that pronoun nonsense ? Give me a fucking break.

CBOEtrader says

Whatever happens in the election, Hillary is the end of the democratic party in the same way Bush jr was the end of the republican party.

I think there will always be "an establishment." I wish that Hillary represented the republican establishment, and that we actually had a left, and that what is currently a big part of the republican party (i.e. alt right, right wing radio audiences etc.) would quickly go to the ashbin of history.

White fear of change in monochrome parts of the country is going to continue, but soon they will be enough of a minority that they will need to team up with some other groups to remain relevant, and it's hard to see what that will look like. But I don't see how they can remain the face of the republican party, unless they go back to dog whistles and a little bit of subtlety. So republicans might regress to what they were. The party of business and the rich, somehow tied to the alt right and tea party so that they can win elections.(by the way - this is fairly close to who Trump really is - the latter groups, Patrick and others are getting conned).

The most interesting outcome might be more political parties. But the establishment doesn't want that. Too high a risk of becoming more socialist.

Daddy says vlad gave mom copies of michelles speeches to plagerize soos the family would look 'telligent.

You think they can release 650,000 emails when many of them are classified (and, they'll have to figure out which ones are totally unrelated, which are revelant, and which are outright classified) in mere days?

Maybe - god forbid - Huma or Hillary come out and have a real, more than 5 minute press conference, with actual Q&A.

Thunderlips Russian Agent 0069 says

650,000 fuckin' emails

Trump says that's why they can't get nothign done they sit around and email all day.

Liberals are the racist. They hate white people, specifically white men, they blame white people for everything (never themselves). Wake up Gary. Everything left espouses radiates hatred toward whites. The typical left wing divide and conquer communist shit.

turtledove says

Seems like s strange interpretation of the law that doesn't pass the common sense test. People get arrested for incidental findings all the time. If you had to have a warrant listing exactly everything you're looking for, how would anything ever be admissible? Police aren't psychic.

Maybe you need to look at something called the fourth amendment. All that probable cause and unreasonable search and seizure thing. It passed the common sense test for the people that wrote the constitution. With good reason. Police and the FBI can't use a warrant as a fishing expedition. The incidental findings of another crime not related to the original warrant have to be both in plain sight and clear evidence of a crime. A cache of unknown content abedin emails found while investigating wiener for sexting doesn't qualify. They are going to have to make a probable cause case for a warrant then they can find out what is contained in the emails and IF it is relevant to clinton at all.

Seems awful strange that the head of the FBI didn't wait a couple days for a preliminary review of the emails to see if there is any relevance at all. Saying they appear to be relevant without knowing the content at all is very odd.

Yes, he may have pretty much cheated the system. Now a warrant has been issued, becasue of the election, and becasue of the unfairness of such vague statements right before an election. Now they need to look at the emails as quickly as possible, and I think huge pressure will be on Comey to explain exactly what the hell he was talking about.

That puts him in a very awkward situation, becasue they shouldn't have been reading Abedin's emails without a warrant.

The justice department can start to look at the 100K emails of Abedin that were on the laptop, but they need Comey to either say exactly what he was talking about, or to give another statement saying they've got nothing. Shit or get off the pot Comey. And then resign in disgrace.

bob2356 says

Well there were people smarter than you debating it. A warrant for the computer and its contents is a warrant for the computer and its contents. Is there really an expectation of privacy for certain folders? What about a search warrant for your home? Can a member not under suspicion put a "do not enter" sign on her bedroom door and expect that to be honored? And if they find a meth lab in her bedroom, is that finding not admissible?

I think it's an OCD overreach, but I have no doubt that they wanted to be extra careful to make sure that there was no possible legal ground to have the evidence thrown out..... No doubt, Clinton would use every legal trick in the book.

Where's the email evidence?

Smoke & mirrors,misdirection,distractions!
Much bigger issues that are hidden from sight?
Comey was told to send a letter to Congress?
Who's really in control?

Terrible analogy, and Bob mentioned:

bob2356 says

have to be both in plain sight and clear evidence of a crime

A better analogy would be say someone's home was being investigated (with a warrant) becasue the teenage son had a meth lab in the basement, and the investigator said, "you know, I brought Steve here along with us, becasue he really wants to look through the father's files in his desk upstairs becasue of an unrelated tax fraud investigation last year that was unable to get any incriminating evidence."

Are you kidding ?

DieBankOfAmericaPhukkingDie says

Or to Weiner, if Bill is anything like IHLlary.

Bill would only send pictures of sperm blobs.

turtledove says

Well there were people smarter than you debating it.

No the people smarter than me are pointing out exactly how the fourth amendment works along with the relevant case law to back it up above and beyond my general knowledge of the subject. The ignorant ones are debating it.

Have they stopped teaching this stuff in high school? You had to know what the constitution and bill of rights contained along with having to be able to explain what it meant to get out of 11th grade back in the day. It seems amazing the number of people that have no clue what the core foundation of the constitutional principles of our society is, what it means, or why it is important. Starting with trump who either is totally ignorant of what the powers and responsibility of the presidency are or simply intends to ignore them or is just throwing out bullshit knowing that the trumptards won't know the difference. All pretty scary thoughts for someone running to be leader of the free world.

Correct. There is no debate, a warrant was issued.

This could really wind up putting egg on his face...

Plus Comey will almost certainly be investigated for violating the Hatch Act.

After Comey's letter to congress. Comey is in trouble. But who knows, maybe Clinton or Abedin are as well.

Pay attention. The debate, started by turtledove, was if emails other than warrens can be looked at without a warrant just because they were there. Issuing a warrant for abedin's emails has nothing to do with that discussion.

This had been discussed here and it had quickly been decided that the Hatch Act does not particularly apply here. To the best of my knowledge the only one of importance(i.e. Not the politics commentators) to suggest that comet might have violated the Hatch Act is Harry Reid...who is about to retire.

Because he (they) must have read some of Abedins emails to think that there's something there, that wouldn't already have been seen before (on HIllary's end). They did that without a warrant. If his letter to congress was just a ruse to get a warrant, a week before the election ?

Ironman says

In the second act of this movie, Comey learns that the Weiner laptop had emails that were so damning it would be a crime against the public to allow them to vote without first seeing a big red flag. And a flag was the best he could do because it was too early in the investigation to leak out bits and pieces of the evidence.

So comey lied to congress when he said that the contents of the emails are unknown? The FBI actually poked around and read emails not covered in the warrant knowing that it would make all of the emails inadmissible evidence later if something criminal was actually found? They managed to find something so damning in a couple days out of 650,000 emails? How likely is all of that? Not very.

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
'Cause it's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use old girl
You might as well surrender
'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

To analyze emails without reading content, one would only look at the headers to determine who sent it and who received it.
Once analyzation of the headers showed back and forth correspondence with the clinton illegal server, it became apparent that perjury was committed as weiner's laptop was not included by hillary and/or huma on the list of devices they gave to the fbi that contained such.
Further analyzation of the headers would show whether the emails were duplicates, or fresh evidence.
That's enough to reopen the case.
