Wired: Vetting 650K Emails in 8 Days Is Quite Easy, Actually

The latest topic raging in the final 36 hours before the election is how the FBI could possibly vet the 650,000 emails in just eight days.

The answer is it's quite easy, Wired reported.

While the Donald Trump's campaign seems to think FBI Director James Comey was reading each email by himself, a mathematical impossibility, Wired reports the FBI actually has software for that.

All it takes is automated search and filtering tools.

"This is not rocket science," Jonathan Zdziarski, a forensics expert told Wired. "Eight days is more than enough time to pull this off in a responsible way."

In fact, intelligence pariah Edward Snowden replied with a tweet that it would take minutes to hours — on an old computer.
