George Webb covered this Blackberry backup thing. I’m not smart enough to get it.
My fear is that they used a system (Blackberry servers or some automatic backup software) that automatically did this. To prove someone committed a crime you have to prove THEY did it, not merely that it happened. I’m wondering if Huma will end up getting of on a technicality, so to speak, but you’d think that if so they would have trotted this explanation out long ago.
Although smart phones such as a Blackberry are small computers and can be used to send and receive emails, I highly, highly doubt one would be used as a storage device to back up emails. Smart phones don’t have that kind of storage capacity. Most email applications have a means to back up to large capacity storage such as a hard drive in a laptop or desktop computer, or a server, or what is known these days as the cloud (Internet storage). I think Comey is either incredibly stupid or incredibly duplicitous, maybe a bit of both.

What he talks about is "Blackberry Enterprise Server" ... it can run on a server , desktop or laptop and when it finds a blackberry through it's local wireless connection it sync's the message database by downloading what's on the Blackberry device and I suppose uploading what is lacking on that device... no direct wired communication means no NSA intercept... it's a sneaky way to allow anyone with a registered blackberry device to get all of your email without you sending it to them...you can claim you did nothing... and Hillary had dozens of Blackberry's which were handed out to donors...
