A Fifth-Year Could Have Told You About Dupe Emails, WHY COULDN'T THE FBI?
But the question is WHY Comey couldn't have come to this conclusion 11 days ago?
Any Biglaw associate could tell you that it doesn’t take very long to review half a million emails. That’s not a hard document review. You throw enough bodies at the problem, and you can get it done in a week. You can get it done even more quickly if most of those emails are dupes that you have already reviewed during your investigation.
FBI director — and apparent sleeper agent — James Comey just announced that the FBI had completed its review of emails to and from Hillary Clinton found on a device we presume to be Anthony Weiner’s. They didn’t find anything.
“Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July,” Comey said in the letter to top Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

That’s not going to come as a galloping shock to anybody who has been paying attention.
But the question is WHY Comey couldn’t have come to this conclusion 11 days ago, before he inserted himself into the presidential race and tried to throw it for Donald Trump? He could have conducted this review BEFORE sending a letter to Congress. OR he could have said that they’d be through the emails quickly and to hang on for more information.
At the very least he could have had them run the GOD DAMN DE-DUPING PROGRAM before he alerted Rudy Giuliani that he was working for his guy.
Honestly, that’s the most basic thing. Take a look at this Tweet.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Nearly ALL the emails were duplicates? In the words of Adam Sandler, that was information that could have been brought to our attention ELEVEN FREAKING DAYS AGO.
As many have pointed out, we’re living in a world where the KKK, the KGB, and the FBI are all supporting the same candidate. This FBI “investigation” isn’t up to the level of a mid-tier law firm with a gang of contract attorneys.
What a farce. Don’t forget to vote.
