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.

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.
