“You need to look behind you and see that gigantic wave cresting. It’s just about to hit. This is happening because Trump is winning already. People don’t want to go to jail because the Trump administration finds this once it takes office. Attorney General Giuliani won’t screw around. This is what victory looks like. Turn around and look, you won’t be able to miss it.”
Comey wouldn’t DARE do this unless he thought that he’d be charged with obstruction of justice by Trump’s DoJ. This was apparently found by NYC police - and I’m betting that they copied the emails. Fibbies had no choice, especially Comey.
That said, I think that Kristie Kreme will be the AG, and Rudy the head of DHS. I like Sheriff Clarke to replace Comey at FBI. All three are no nonsense.
It all depends on who found the emails.
If the guy who found them did not have experience with classified information, he may well have copied them. If had had experience he would have known that just copying them was also a federal offense, and the fact that the information may have already been disclosed does not make them any less classified, or the penalty any less.

What is really interesting is that they usually "mirror" any device before they try to investigate what is on it, so now there is at least one extra copy. And maybe just maybe there are many if more than one person was working on it at the same time. Storage is super cheap these days, and it is possible they don't really know how many times the devices were mirrored.
And, if the evidence is Hillary giving instructions to destroy evidence, that is not classified. It isn't even part of the Weiner investigation, so there could be lots & lots of copies of that.
