Donald Trump has responded to James Comey‘s announcement today that his new probe into Hillary Clinton hasn’t changed his conclusion regarding her email situation.

As he spoke to a crowd in Michigan on Sunday, Trump ranted again about how Clinton is being shielded by the “totally rigged system.”

“You can’t review 650,000 new emails in 8 days.”

-snip-

Trump went on to say that while Comey’s decision has been made, the investigation into Clinton will continue because “the rank and file special agents won’t let her get away with her terrible crimes.”

Reports indicate that after the FBI gave the new emails their full attention in the last few days, and they found that nearly all of them were duplicates of previously reviewed messages, while the ones that were not, didn’t pertain to government businesses.

2. He has no closing now.

He planned on riding this bullshit until the polls close.

Now he is arguing that it's a fix.

Trump has nothing. Loser.

[Chicago1980]

4. Sure you can.....

Oh Donald...

[George II]

5. He knows so little about just about everything. Donnie, how about search terms? This is the same..

...FBI you were praising all week.

I can understand his confusion - he must still be shaken up by that "assassination attempt" by sign last night! Still suffering the effects of the paper cut.

[Cha]

41. All drumpfuck knows is that "Hillary tried to assassinate me".. "sent

her thug.. but we beat him up.. poor me"..

[adigal]

49. He doesn't use email...this is like my husband, who hates computers

being President. The President should have a modicum of familiarity with email.

Although he does know Twitter. HAHA!

[OKNancy]

6. I'm an old retired dance teacher in bumfuck Oklahoma

and I understand ten times more about computer technology than Trump's people. Heard the same thing from Gen. Flynn. He should know better.

[Botany]

18. search parameters

has Trump ever used "the google?"

[regnaD kciN]

7. The NYT says Drumpf doesn't use a computer…

He probably doesn't know how search works.

[judesedit]

8. Go back to your tower with your bullshitting brown-nosing personal assistants. Leave us alone.PLEASE

Crawl back in your hole

[LiberalFighter]

9. This is what I posted on a FB page that I manage.

For those wondering how the FBI was able to determine whether the emails involved were new they likely used a software program. Each email has a message id that is specific to the email based on where it was sent from. Outlook has a tool for that purpose. Gmail does it automatically. Mozilla Thunderbird has an option to config for dupes.

They likely could had accomplish the dupe delete process in less time then it took for them.

10. A shining example of the Peter Principle

If Donnzo were employed by someone he would have been canned
decades ago

Money and ego were his starship

To think the Clown Car 16 couldn't figure out how to beat this guy

[JBoy]

11. He should ask his 10 yr old "computer genius" kid.

[MANative]

13. Made me laugh out loud!

[Amonester]

14. That's for his base of deplorables of know-nothing

as he followed once again with "her terrible crimes" he's got zero evidence of any, just like always.

[NBachers]

16. Show us your taxes, Donald.

[madamesilverspurs]

17. And then he went on

to appoint himself judge and jury, and proclaimed that "Hillary is guilty!"

So now, in addition to knowing more than all the generals, he also knows more than the justice system.

Whatta guy!

Bleccchhhhh.

.

[Blue Idaho]

19. Imagine how badly he's abusing crack pipe Kelly right now...

He lost his closing argument and all that's left is him trying to con the rubes into thinking Comey's a crook (again)

[displacedtexan]

20. Today's Vocabulary lesson for Donald Trump.

al·go·rithm
ˈalɡəˌriT͟Həm/
noun
a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
"a basic algorithm for division"

A skilled coder can write an entirely original algorithm to search for keywords in a couple of hours or less. Chances are, though, that the FBI aleady has algorithms ready to go at a moment's notice. In fact, it probably took J. edgar Comey longer to compose his "Nevermind" letter than it did to search the emails.

[mwooldri]

21. If the entire FBI was roped in to check the emails...

... they'd be done in 5 minutes. Or less. 35,000 approx FBI... 650,000 emails. 20 emails or less each agent. Good percentage is spam, lots more totally irrelevant.

Seriously Donald. Want to pre-empt Tuesday night when we can say legitimately "You're Fired".

[secondwind]

22. FIVE FBI offices working 24/7 seven days a week can achieve many things. n/t

[onenote]

24. One office with a computer with appropriate search terms

can do it in less than a second.

[dalton99]

23. Trump is impervious to knowledge or truth.

[Liberalagogo]

25. Rump,

Just go back to tweeting.

[Lindalouuu]

26. Fu**Ing moron. How would he know...he doesn't even use a computer

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Yes, you can review that many by using software to compare and sort. tRump thinks he's a programmer

He thinks he's a programmer now.

I hear he's been criticizing generals again.

He knows all about living from paycheck to paycheck, too.

He thinks he knows a lot.

[roamer65]

28. Bingo.

[Warpy]

29. Does he know that Comey didn't do it alone, sitting at his desk?

Does he not know that there are hundreds to people working for the FBI?.

I don't suppose Trump knows about filter progs, either, that would automatically pick up on emails to, from or about Hillary Clinton.

Trump really is one ignorant bastard.

[Jarqui]

30. It was reported earlier by a few reputable media sources

that the FBI had a program for determining duplicates.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-emails-investigation-fbi-director-james-comey-anthony-weiner/

Inside the labs of the FBI’s elite Operational Technology Division in Quantico, Virginia, agents are using a sophisticated software program to scan and sort through several hundred thousand emails on Anthony Wiener’s laptop.

The software is searching for emails belonging to Huma Abedin, which are expected to number in the thousands. They’re trying to figure out if any are relevant to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

The program the FBI is using is likely similar to one built by San Francisco-based company, Logikcull.

“It tells you what’s inside that data. In 650,000 emails, how many attachments are there? How many documents are images that don’t have any searchable content at all? How many duplicates are there?” said Andy Wilson, the company’s CEO.

Wilson said the process can be completed in days, not weeks.

“If they do it in a more modern way, it could be done literally in a couple of hours or a day or two,” Wilson said.

Given they'd been searching a variety of servers and locations for the deleted emails, it justified developing it.

The thing is, it is a pretty easy program to write and process to execute. So even if they didn't already have one, they could have hauled in a clever high school kid to whip one up for them - it's that simple. I know as I've done something like them for generating data from emails into databases.

Trump's comments expose how ignorant he is and how ignorant those of his supporters who buy it are.

They said that they did not find many that were not duplicates so it would not take long to check security issues on the few new ones they found.

Poor Kellyanne will have to find something else to lie about.

[mestyle]

31. Why are we talking about Hillary's Emails and Not Trumps close ties to underage Sex Traffickers?

Why is the media talking about Hillary's emails and not Trump's close ties to underage sex traffickers? John Casablancas, Jeffrey Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, Tevfik Arif, Roy Cohn??? All of these are tied to trump in various ways. All of them are involved with underage sex trafficking. (Roy Cohn's case is rumor though). Why are we talking about these fucking emails and not this??? This should have sunk Trump's campaign yet no one mentions it.

[EllieBC]

32. I know it's not the same but I can search my overflowing

Gmail inbox for certain keywords and find what I need or want. I'm pretty certain they have a similar search they used.

[progree]

33. The PBS Newshour reported they searched only for emails to or from Hillary Clinton

and read those, which were a small percentage of the total.

[idahoblue]

34. He thinks they need to read every one.

He is unfamiliar with software, key words, teamwork. He thinks a couple of secretaries are reading each one. 😂

[47of74]

36. I hope come November 9 the 16th Month Hindenburg Explosion

goes the fuck away.

[Retrograde]

38. If they're like the emails I get

once you delete the emails from on-line businesses wanting you to spend more money with them - and those are the ones the spam filter lets through - messages from Alan Grayson (does anyone know how to stop these?), and pleas for money there isn't that much left.

A good filter can sort through thousands of emails in less time than it took to type this sentence.

[C Moon]

40. Monday morning, Trump will wake up and realize he's NOT going to be President of the U.S.

It's all over Trump.
You lost this one.
And it's going to be a big loss.

[moondust]

42. Dear Yambo,

Comey is a Republican. Even if he doesn't like you he'd probably still do whatever he could to help downballot Republicans if he knew it wouldn't mean the end of his career or worse.

Now go home and stick your head in the toilet.

[oberliner]

44. His son, Barron, is very good with computers

Maybe he could do it!

[mackdaddy]

45. Supposedly Automatic backup of Huma's Smart-phone

No definite FBI source I could find, but these were part of the automatic backups that were done every time she plugged her smart-phone int the computer to charge.

This explains why she would not know they were there, and the "650 thousand" number may have just been multiple copies of the backup over time.

As many people have stated there are many programs that can do a compare and search for duplicates that once setup would take only seconds to run. Beside the many off the shelf programs to do this any data base programmer could do this in their sleep.

Sorry no definite link on this yet.

[LandrosT]

46. Trump is truly a moron

The last time I checked, the Trump-loving FBI had scrutinized HRC's emails for MONTHS now. Yet despite their futile attempts to derail Hillary's campaign, they could NOT prove any wrongdoing on her part.

By the way, Don, where are your tax returns? I thought you made a promise to release them?

[DesertRat]

51. Welcome to DU, LandrosT

[patsimp]

47. trump continues to show he has no brains

[adigal]

48. So he's suggesting FBI agents will be going rogue to investigate Hillary on their own?

What does he know? What did FBI agents tell Giuliani?? THAT is what I want to know.

[Sunlei]

50. Trump says he doesn't use emails, he's ignorant about software. guess he only surfs for porn online.

Get back in your Tower trump, you got apprentice porn to review and your butler wants a RAISE to keep silent.
