HRC asked about this and wants to use the same number out there to be consistent - so flagging to ensure we do

This looks fine to me. Unless Heather can confirm otherwise, I would use the figure "over 50,000". Our final copier count was over 52,000, although I have a faint memory that Heather may have identified and copied a few thousand more after we completed our copying. I don't know where the frequently quoted "55,000" number comes from.

I don't recall reading Team Crooked made hard copies of 50,000+ emails. If so, where are they? Chain of custody? Confidential?

Probably shredded and dumped in the sewer in the human waste dump from Hillary’s bus in Georgia this AM. s/off

Probably the two missing boxes

[Neidermeyer]

Paper can be transported (to CFF HQ perhaps) with no incriminating electronic trail left on the sender and receivers end.

[Neidermeyer]

Needless to say they were subject to subpoena and were not produced...

I will try and find the youtube video, but I’m sure Director Comey, in testimony, said that because the e-mails were only in digital form (not paper) they treated Clinton’s investigation differently then other prosecutions (of military personnel) because there was no physical paper involved.

It wasn’t 50,000 emails printed, it was 50,000 printed pages of the emails selected by the Clinton team to provide to the FBI.

By printing out the emails, they ensured that it would take longer for the emails to be reviewed and potentially released to the public, and that any associated metadata (IP addresses of potential additional server locations, Bcc addresses, etc...) would not be preserved.

handing over a tape backup or thumb drive with the .pst files on it would have taken moments to accomplish and would have enabled a fair review of the materials by investigators. Instead, the FBI allowed Clinton’s legal team to throw up roadblock after roadblock to sabotage the investigation, not to mention the time it takes to print out 50,000 pages of text and transport the physical materials to the FBI, a process which likely took more than a week of constant effort. Add in the additional cost to the taxpayer for the FBI to sort through, organize, rescan the documents back into hard copy (now conveniently missing associated metadata) perform OCR so they could be searched... all before a real examination of the evidence, much less a classification review for public release could commence.

This should have been treated by a competent prosecutor as obstruction of justice, alas, none were available.

Exactly right.

Rather than transfer electronic (searchable) copies of the emails, Hillary’s team is known to have printed them out as hard copies and made them available to investigators that way. Very inconvenient.

And THEN, two of the boxes containing all of those emails disappeared because they (apparently) contained some printouts that Hillary needed to keep away from the investigators. The boxes with more harmless emails did not disappear.

I’d call this “obstructing an investigation” and also “destruction of evidence”.

AT about 3:00min Comey starts to talk about “hard copies” implying they are treated different.

[Ray76]

Exactly right!

Good post. Obstruction of justice at the very least. Mishandling of classified information was another charge that should have been made.

The whole thing was a complete whitewash by the FBI. And everyone knows it by now.

Almost all large corporate printers these days have hard drives in them and store copies of every document that runs through them. Would anyone at all like to place a bet that the FBI never, ever bothered to recover these? I'd put down some major spare change that there is some really important data on their printers that they could probably still get. However, the Feral Government in general and the incompetents at the FBI are not interested in any way about the truth. Their job is to protect the status quo. Protect the establishment at all costs, regardless of what it ultimately means for the country.
