A few points:
1. This assumes that only Hillary's server has those emails. Assuming she sent the emails, however, hers is not the only server that has them. There'll be copies of them at switching centers all over the place, and a good hacker with the resources the Russians would be able to provide could find them.
Possible, but doubtful. While yes, there are things as 'email switching centers' mail servers are typically associated with some sort of user account (thinking GMail or your ISP hosted email server), or other organizations, such as businesses. If any user has an email server that directly connects to the destination for delivery, there there's no 'email switching center' in play. I have an email server running at home. There's a direct connection to me friend's email server. A direct connection is established, and the email is delivered. There is no 'email switching center' involved.
If there were 'email switching centers', akin to an old style telephone switchboard, a store and forward function, the vast volume of emails and storing them would be prohibitively expensive in disk drive storage, and managing that storage. No, far more efficient to process it and send it on and deleted whatever temporary storage is used, perhaps for as short as a minute or two or even less.
2. Hillary's server can be hacked even in the possession of the FBI. People have a skewed view of how hacking is done (I understand it from the reverse angle of being part of a corporate team charged with preventing hacking). You almost always have to hack human beings first. If you get ahold of the right FBI employee, you can figure it out.
Doubtful to say the least. The FBI doesn't have buffoons working for them. Which FBI agent are you going to manipulate to turn on Hillary's server, and put it on the network for you? Seriously? The first thing the FBI would do is to dupe the hard drives and put the originals in lockup. The FBI doesn't work on evidence seized equipment, they work on copies.
3. I'm not sure any of that matters. Trump asked the Russians to hack Hillary's files, in public. No getting around that fact.
This is not correct. The implicit assumption is that the Russians already had a copy of the emails, and given the level of protection (or lack there of) of Hillary's server, out in the raw Internet, given the skill of the Russian hackers, it's probably a safe bet that they do have copies of all Hillary's emails; the classified ones, the ones about yoga, and the ones about Chelsea's wedding to the young Soros guy as well, as well as all the other ones too.
This is why I'm seriously considering leaving the country permanently. There's being up-front, and there's being mentally undisciplined and downright rude. Trump is the latter--he has little control of his speech, and it betrays an undisciplined mind. A substantial part of the country seems to think that's OK. There is no more sure sign of a dying society.
As you wish.
What job-killing regulations have been reduced? I've run businesses before. I never had to deal with any regulations that were particularly difficult to handle or that made me not hire someone when I needed to. I haven't heard of any huge reductions in regulations that were actually killing jobs.
As for the rest, it seems more reasonable to attribute that to a long period of growth.
One further point: I don't buy the correlation between the stock market and the economy in general. There hasn't been anything like the gains in wealth for main street as there has been for wall street.
Well, I agree it would be a great thing if the elite were put on notice that the pitchforks are coming if they don't start behaving in a more egalitarian manner. I fail to see how Trump was that kind of message, however. What would send that kind of message is if a middle-class populist candidate were elected.
Trump has flaws, that's without a question. However, as you seem to already accept, he is the messenger, regardless of his flaws and foibles.
Trump: Powerful message more important than flawed messenger ...
Right message, horribly wrong messenger: Linda Killian - USA Today
Oh well, he's the messenger that the electorate voted into the White House.
