650,000  emails can be checked in minutes to hours says Edward Snowden to FBI


US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, just two days before the polls, got a huge respite from the FBI when they announced that no criminal charges can be filed against her related to her private emails. FBI director James Comey announced that that the new evidence filed against Clinton does not change the agencys decision and it is evident that she should not face criminal charges. Clintons Republican rival Donald Trump was quick to respond to FBIs announcement and alleged another conspiracy theory when he said that FBI could not have checked the 650,000 private emails so quickly. Right now shes being protected by a rigged system. Its a totally rigged system, Trump said during a campaign speech in Michigan. You cant review 650,000 new emails in eight days. You cant do it, folks. Trumps claims immediately sparked a conspiracy theory and many started wondering whether there was some truth behind the businessmens claims or a rigged system. An American journalist Jeff Jarvis asked the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who is currently living in asylum in Russia after he leaked NSA secret documents, whether the FBI could have checked the email. Hey @Snowden, for context, how long would it take the NSA to dedupe 650k emails?, Jarvis asked Snowden. In just 140 characters, the former CIA agent proved Trumps theory wrong and explained how it could have been done. In his response Snowden said that FBI could have checked the emails within a few minutes or a few hours, @jeffjarvis Drop non-responsive To:/CC:/BCC:, hash both sets, then subtract those that match.
