That has been said all along here on FR from the beginning.
NSA hoovers EVERYTHING.
The FBI did not find the emails becasue the FBI did not WANT to find the emails.
More explicit proof that James Comey is compromised and has been for some time..
Some “straight shooter” he turned out to be.
I guess the reason NSA didn’t come forward with it sooner was due to concerns that the emails would’ve been deleted or “lost”.
This has been my suspicions all along, "You watch my back I'll watch yours". The entire bunch are corrupt.
I am almost as certain that if the FBI really wanted the whole story, the NSA could have arranged a very plausible "discovery" of a backup made by someone just following SOP that was somehow "missed" in the Clinton directed clean-up (aka evidence destroying) sweep. Who knows, it was not only possible, maybe they did give the emails to the FBI and they ignored them. As you say, it is plainly obvious Comey is compromised. No doubt he could have, would have, and quite possibly did direct his agents to destroy and ignore the NSA data dump.
