Even if FBI Director James Comey had 100 agents reading collating and considering the 650,000 emails in the new investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material, it is hard to see how this much material could have been properly digested and done justice in the ten days he had to work on this investigation.
But even if he did have these agents completely dedicated to this new investigation the numbers say this was a Herculean task that does not pass the smell test.
Research shows “The average college graduate stops 75 times to read each of his 100 words. Great compared to the 3rd grader, but slow and boring, and inefficient.”

Assuming that each email is one hundred words (which is might be a low number) that comes to 65 million words to read. FBI agents are college graduates and most are lawyers; but it is hard to imagine them speed reading through material as critical to the nation’s wellbeing as these 650,000 emails.
If we allow for turnover time, handling these emails, whether printed out in the worst case or on a computer screen at the best, the time we can reasonably assign to reviewing each email has to be two minutes for those considered frivolous and much more for those immediately deemed important. Anyone who has done this type of plodding searching research, requiring sifting through mountains of words, knows this is the case.
Reason says, some even the shortest emails of fifty words, might require an extended period of say three minutes to weigh their contents for relevance in a larger context.
Thereafter those deemed suspicious would require a “Stop the presses” conference which would eat up more time. When such an inevitable stoppage occurs everyone at the table – another logistic impossibility – would necessarily have to stop and listen to the finding and consider whether what was just found is valuable to a pattern he or she is mentally building given the emails before him/her.
The average number of words on a page in a novel which presumably has a coherent flow and is therefore easier to read and digest, is 300 words. This means the equivalent of 21,000 pages of flowing text which is not broken by changes in subject and mental construction to be weighed against possible federal law violation.
Using the most generous allowance for Comey and his FBI team to have reexamined the 650,000 emails involved in the new investigation, and assuming they worked every minute of every hour they were at it, the crew worked for 14,400 minutes on this project just reading without interruption for reconsideration, stretching bathroom breaks etc.

The records show the longest known book in the English language is L. Ron Hubbard’s The Invader’s Plan which is 1.2 million words. So the 65 million words of emails are the equivalent of 54 of Hubbard’s books. Does it seem logical to believe they read all that material happened?
Properly investigating this pile of emails would require 100 agents putting in 3600 man hours with no stopping for consultation with other agents when a pattern was detected.
This does not include the coordination of original FBI notes with newly discovered findings.
It is simply not reasonable to believe the FBI did justice to a review of 650,000 emails it had to collate for subject matter and consider in an overview while weighing it all for violations of federal law.
Woody Allen once said this about speed reading “I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”

Woody Allen is a comedian; what Comey did is not at all funny.
“Comey probably backed off to avoid being murdered.”

So many ARKANCIDES over the years . . .
ROTFLOL .. LOVE IT.
Maybe they showed him pictures of Vince Foster ..!!!
Oh yes, I’ve seen viking kitties. Amazing that he’s so obsessed for so many years.
NO! The something BIG will happen on election day, when it isn’t just a landslide, IT’S A TSUNAMI FOR TRUMP.
ANYBODY WANT TO BET ..????
ROTFLOL !!!!!!
YEP
I know more than I care to know about him. If he'd only devoted all that time to a good cause instead of wasting it, he might have turned out to be an okay guy. But he needs to change his channel because he's wasted 9 years of his life on this crap. Anyone can go register on a website and use VPN and proxy addresses under a 100 different IDs but seriously thats just a crazy waste of time...
Comey stated in today’s letter that “we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State.” Using that criteria the FBI could have quickly excluded tens or even hundreds of emails electronically, without anyone actually reading/reviewing them. Software also exists to weed out duplicates of emails that the FBI previously reviewed. I am not sure of the source or the legitimacy of the 650,000 emails, but even assuming that it is accurate, Comey’s letter, as carefully crafted as it is, may be technically accurate.
Having said all that, I don’t believe that there has been an honest, thorough investigation into Hillary’s emails. Hopefully, investigators are focusing on much bigger crimes involving the Clintons, their phony foundation, the DNC and the Obama White House.
Tuesday, November 8, 2016 sometimes between 9 A.M. and 12 A.M. I am going to vote for Donald Trump.
They claim to have software which recognizes duplicates. Even with that, I don’t see anyway his claim is valid.
LOL. This makes it even worse for Hillary. Now people know she will get off totally if elected.
Obviously, it wasn’t honest. People are in prison right now for the very things she has done.
It’s being reported that most emails were duplicates. I could write a program in about 20 minutes that would compare the new batch to the old batch and filter out duplicates. Then you only need humans to look at whatever is left.
Not saying this doesn’t stink, just saying technology makes this timeline totally reasonable, if in fact they were mostly duplicates.
