Close to 650,000 e-mails
And given the large proportion of these that will have nothing to do with the candidate and the likelihood that every one that does relate to the candidate will be a duplicate of previously examined ones, it will take the FBI a good long time to sort through them all.
The FBI has obtained a warrant to search the emails found on a computer used by former congressman Anthony Weiner that may contain evidence relevant to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, according to law enforcement officials.If the FBI was in no rush to get the necessary warrant to examine the e-mails or to tell the Director. And the expected time to actually review them, the question that must be answered is "What was Director Comey's need to rush this information out to the public? It is most probable that there will be nothing but speculation about them before the election. The only believable answer is that Comey sought to influence the election for his Party.
One official said the total number of emails recovered in the investigation into Weiner (D-N.Y.) is close to 650,000, but that reflects many emails that are not related to the Clinton investigation. But officials familiar with the case said that the messages include a significant amount of correspondence associated with Clinton and her top aide, Huma Abedin, Weiner’s estranged wife.
FBI agents investigating Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state knew early this month that messages recovered in a separate probe might be germane to their case, but they waited weeks before briefing the FBI director, according to people familiar with the case.
The director, James B. Comey, has written that he was informed of the development Thursday, and he sent a letter to legislators the next day letting them know that he thought the team should take “appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails.”
