Blackberries can be backed up (including the stored emails) using a usb cable and a utility to a computer. You can do the same thing with iPhones using iTunes.

Something that is all too often ignored in this whole fiasco

It was NOT Comeys job to decide what a prosecutor should or shouldn’t do with the info they gathered.

 

Very true. And there were prosecutors (In New York state of all places!) that were ready to roll. But Comey's "Get out of Jail Free" card stopped that cold.

The full letter by Deputy AG Rosenstein here:

He lays it out in spades, and his case is supported by several former AG:s, both Republicans and Democrats.

Too late... Dems are already screaming for a special prosecutor for the Russia “Investigation”.

They are indeed. It’s long past time we put our foot down and told these idiot children to shut up. How many months do they get to draw out their “investigation” with NOTHING coming to light before we tell them they can’t investigate anymore? All it does it give them a hook to wrap their daily propaganda around.

I predict firings at the NSA also. Today in the United States their is a death struggle between the non-elected “Deep State” and the elected government. It is going to get much worse.

Grassley has been out for Comey for a while. He’s apparently been really pissed off over discrepancies between what Comey says in front of the TV cameras and what he says to U.S. Senators behind closed doors.

-- Bret Baier still cluelessly asking "why now?," even though Catherine Herridge just explained to him, in very simple terms, EXACTLY "why now." --

Playing dumb is a very common pattern in the "news" industry. What is unusual is to allow the correct explanation to air, even once.

Oh wow! Bret Baier is clueless?
You’d think that he would be smarter than that!

I don’t know how these NEWS people retain their jobs.

Andrew McCabe is scheduled to take Comey’s job, albeit temporarily.

McCabe has plenty of baggage through his wife’s political run in VA (ties to VA Gov. Mc Auliffe).

Off to the races.

Greta just said, we ought to go to the FBI’s #3.

Where have you been? You might want to occasionally see what mainstream “news” outlets are claiming, just to know what the other side is saying...

Hell no. I don’t even watch Faux News. I get all the opposition reports right here at FR.

I just couldn’t imagine the MSM was still repeating the “Russia, Russia, Russia” pack of lies.

I guess that’s all they got. And they think that repeating a lie often enough will make it true.

So he was fired for what he did last summer. This also points a finger at Lynch and Obama, which could get interesting.

Many here on FR thought it wasn’t his place to make the decision not to prosecute. It turns out that’s correct and the press should have made a stink about it, but they didn’t.

The tipping point was reached by Grassley during the earlier hearing was “THE-EGAD!-MOMENT”!

“Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and FBI Director James Comey had a dust-up during Comey’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, with Grassley becoming so frustrated he could only say, “Egad.”

When Grassley speaks, people listen and ACT !

DRAIN THE SWAMP ! ! ! !
DON’T STOP NOW ! ! ! ! !

Some twit on Fox News painting Trump as a hypocritical idiot because he appeared to support Comey a month ago. Krauthammer still around, and still endlessly whining. Bret Baier promoting the idea of an “independent prosecutor” for the non-existent Trump / Russia “scandal,” and quoting Leahy, comparing Trump to Nixon.

It’s funny to watch the media go into full-blown anti-Trump meltdown as they get over the shock of this and get their act together. And this is Fox News! I can only imagine what those leftist idiots on CNN or MSNBC are doing.

Hillary and the rest of her cohorts are not going to be sleeping well at all.....

What will be interesting now is how they play their blame game from here on out.....and who is going to take the heat...

 

My guess is that they'll throw Huma and her pevert husband under the bus.
