I think I heard a Commentator say the FBI HAD retrieved the 30,000 emails --

and that the majority had been released, save for those that are still classified.

If that's correct, WHY THE FUCK doesn't a reporter confront Trump with that info instead of just letting him yammer on and on?

Did anyone else hear something similar, or was that just a fantasy I concocted in my Trump-sotted brain?

1. Are reporters afraid of him? He's such a bully that might be the case.

What I know about her emails - about 30k were turned over to the FBI from Hillary's server, another 30k were deemed personal and deleted.

Maybe it's the deleted ones Trump wants the Russians to find.

3. "it's the deleted ones Trump wants the Russians to find" That's my take, too.

But with tRump? Who knows!!

2. I THINK I recall that the deleted ones were recovered from the back-up company. nt

4. You are absolutely right- FBI successfully recovered the deleted personal emails

The FBI turned them over to State Dept for review before being released. So any emails not already released will be released after State Dept review is complete (making sure none of them have any info deemed classified under current standards)

So once again Trump has succeeded in grabbing media spotlight making an erroneous allegation abou 30.000 missing emails when that is false and so far I haven't heard of any of the media setting this false narrative straight.

6. I totally hold the media responsible for Trump's ascendency to the R nominee --

All they focused on was Trump/Hillary. No other candidate -- Dem OR Republican -- got more than a cursory mention. Yet Bernie was making big news on OUR side -- as big as that bully Trump making big news on the Hatred/Fear side.

They have to sell advertising dollars for their revenue. Who are people going to watch -- Trump or Bernie? (Or any other candidate for that matter) It's always about the money.

Something else we can thank St. Ronnie for.

I'm disgusted.

But THRILLED to see you, malaise! So happy you haven't blown away (I always think of you when a storm is en route)

7. LOL - nice to see you too

I'm watching CSpan's live coverage - it's so much mroe peaceful without the 'impression managers'.

The first storm came off the African coast yesterday. It's days away from anywhere. We'll see what becomes of it, but they will be heading our way as of now.
