Another Mr. Smart IT Guy who isn’t really. With IMAP the issue for Huma is that when she forwarded email (classified and otherwise) to her Yahoo account, that data went to a Yahoo server. Depending on whether she used web mail or a client like Thunderbird or Outlook, to have a permanent copy on that laptops hard drive would be to save it to a local folder. We don’t know how she operated but as long as Yahoo is the mail service provider, the emails are under their control, and my bet is they do not “bleach bit” their servers, but rather archive everything. Court rulings have made it clear that mail providers cannot withhold items legally requested under court order.
In short, if it’s there it’s going to be looked at...and that can’t be good for Huma or Hillary.
PS: Yes, the same Yahoo where 500 million user accounts were hacked a couple of months ago...
Or....
Was this thing like a huge in box, they were downloaded but never read as in a Wiki email it referred to this laptop as a resource for an eventual Hillary book. So was it maintained, i.e. putting files in folders, or was it a giant inbox?
I suspect this may be the source of the Wikileaks emails.
