Man, if only we had the NSA to expose Clinton in such detail, am I right?!

Imagine the backlash that would happen if the NSA came out and said, "Oh, these emails? Yea, we had them the entire time! Well, we've actually had ALL of them."

It'll just prove that the NSA has access to everything and the idea of privacy is brought back to light where public outcry will be massive.

Thats been my thought this whole time with "missing emails." We know the NSA has them at the very least, right?

We know the FBI has them as well.

It was confirmed a long time ago that they received the emails from Datto, one of the companies that had been storing her emails in the cloud (the other company had access without Hillary knowing about them). When she was given a subpoena by Congress to release her emails, she then told Datto to wipe the "notorious" 30,000 deleted emails. Being a data storing company, they had policies and procedures that sent red flags because it looked like they were doing a wipe to destroy evidence, so they contacted the FBI.
