Clinton Camp Issues Clarification On Deleted Emails, Claims ‘Every’ Message Was Reviewed
Fox news ^ | March 16, 2015 | Fox News

Posted on 03/16/2015 12:01:06 AM PDT by lbryce

Hillary Clinton’s camp late Sunday issued a significant clarification about the steps they say were taken to review thousands of personal emails before they were deleted, claiming her team individually read “every email” before discarding those deemed private.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill made the clarification in a written statement to Fox News. This comes after the former secretary of state’s office revealed last week that while more than 30,000 “work-related” emails were turned over to the State Department, nearly 32,000 were deemed “private” and deleted.

This admission raised questions over how her team decided to get rid of those messages. Merrill on Sunday clarified an earlier fact sheet that described some of those methods but did not say every email was read.

Dear Mrs Clinton. I suggest that getting all if this “tooth paste” back in the tube is going to be a bigger project than you think

“Vanderbilt” can become a new shorthand for the phrase. I like it! :)

Remember what it means when a Clinton parses words.

So Hillary only deleted personal and private emails?

Wanna know another name for a personal and private email?

A classified email.

Classified MEANS personal and private.

Wanna know how you delete 32,000 personal and private emails and know you got all the right ones?

You just do a search on the classified emails as classified, select the results, and hit delete.

Clinton parsing.

Definition of is.

****It would take months for a staff to review 55,000 e-mails.****

You are correct. Do the math;) at 1 minute per email it would take 950 hours - 40 hours per day - would be 26 days for 1 person - which is at least a month M-F.

(approximately) !!!!!!!

“The fact that this wasn’t noticed or commented on until now, by even one of the thousands of people who must have communicated with Mrs. Clingon during the six years of her tenure as Secretary of State, is almost unbelievable as well.”

Let’s say you frequently deal with a powerful boss noted for grudges and getting even. You notice your boss is in violation of policy. Do you mention it? You know if you do you’ll risk ending up with a bad review or a posting in Crapistan. You might send a gentle note to the person who enforces that policy, who, by-the-way, won’t say squat because the boss has a long reach. Yeah, they knew. They also know nobody messes with a Clinton, no matter how trivial the matter. Government employees are not noted for risk taking.

if we were to do the maths on this:

32,000 emails at 5 minutes (on average)= 160,000 minutes

surely she would have to scan the official emails as well so 30,000 * (lets say 3 minutes) = 90,000 minutes

so 250,000 minutes approx to read them all. thats 4,167 hours in total. if we divide that by 8 (working day) we get 520 person days of effort. Also it is humanly impossible to concentrate for 8 hours non stop on something as boring as email. if software was used (which i suspect it was, can we see what was used?)

my questions:
what date did the request for emails first appear (aka the start date for review)?
when did this review actually start (create a team with guidelines)?
how many people were involved in the review (I dont think it is possible to review all by one person)?
who are these people?
if you used software, where is it and what was it?
if you used software what did it do with emails to say her husband AND the state dept (i.e. delete emails sent to the following emails?)
what error percentage is acceptable for mistakes (if done by hand), because with human intervention of 520 elapsed days, it is not possible to have the error % at zero.
where re the backups just in case an error was made?

would appreciate if people better at the calculations could re run that and see did i make any gross mistakes.

Here's the $64,00.00 question.......If all these e-mails were just about Chelsea's wedding, her mother's funeral, yoga lessons, condolence messages to her friends...WHY DELETE THEM?????

She planned on this server being SECRET, so WHY did she DELETE innocuous PERSONAL e-mails???

She DELETED all the things about The Clinton Family SLUSH FUND and BENGHAZI ARMS DEALING GONE BAD and OTHER SCANDAL-related stuff!!!!

Gowdy BETTER GET HER.....or else.

You don’t think her own private email address was at least a hint that something was off?

The only way to completely destroy those e-mails is to destroy the hard drives and even then, some be recoverable. Hillary and Bill are Troglodytes when it comes to tech stuff. They can use it, but they do not understand it. It appears that their IT people who set the private e-mail accounts weren't that good either.

I wondered about the math as well. And I got roughly the same numbers as you.

So let's take your final number, 520 person days. And let's take Hillary at her word, that each email was individually read. Of course, that's probably a lie. "Individually read", if read it all, probably means they were scanned for a few key words; not a very secure way of doing things.

Anyway, let's assume Hillary put four people on the task, and they really read each email. It would take them over four months, all working full-time, to finish the job!

Can anyone anywhere believe that Hillary actually paid people to work month after month, reading email after email?

And did these readers all have security clearances?

This whole thing is a sillier lie than the one Hillary told about not wanting to have two cell phones.

There's more ways than one to skin the conniving Clinton cats---
there are official documents they can't get her filthy hands on.

Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz need to go to OMB---and demand all records relating to taxpayers subsidizing the Clintons---OMB payments to Bill Clinton's Harlem office including the number of electronic devices he owns and whether taxpayers subsidized the infamous server.

Congress needs to launch multiple investigations into Hillary’s State Dept tenure:

<><> her expense accounts,

<><> her use of federal credit cards,

<><>her role in the State Dept's disbursement of funds to private contractors;

<><> obtaining Hillary's official calendar, and her contact with foreign leaders,

<><>her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation by using classified info as an instrument for fund-raisinig.

=================================================

The Buckraking Clintons sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

It's becoming clearer why Bill Clinton used a shocking 21 phone nos and email addresses----because L/E knows multiple phone no's and emails is an indication of possible money-laundering and tax evasion.

==================================================

THE REPORT WE ALL WANT TO SEE:

<><> dates and times of Hillary's emails WRT to US foreign policy issues,

<><> dates and times of Obama's official statements on said foreign policy issues,

<><> dates and times of foreign govt donations to the Clinton Foundation(s).

==================================================

Let the money laundering, tax evasion and govt fraud investigations begin....start w/ the Clinton Foundation, and its vast tentacles, Hilary's State Dept tenure....then there's the matter of her US senate activities (snort).
