It has become obvious to most of us with
half a brain that Donald Trump does NOT know anything about a
computer. Like parenting and caring about anyone’s circumstances other than his
own, the nature of a computer is a detail he doesn’t want to get involved with.
I’m sure he leaves it to a lackey.
Why, you ask, is it obvious that
he isn’t computer literate? There are two reasons. One reason has been
prevalent during his entire campaign. Trump cares nothing about facts, There is
an infinite amount of factual information available on computers. I understand
that in Trumpland, one man’s facts are another’s opinions, which you don’t have
to believe. Even if there is empirical evidence that something is real,
you can still contest it – like climate change. But there is video of Trump
actually saying something LIVE, that no thinking person can ignore. Many
times during these past agonizing months of listening to Trump’s lies, he has
denied that he has said something that was video-recorded; or he claims Hillary
said something that she did not – and both can be verified by looking at a
computer.
And now, Trump has claimed something
about computers that is so wrong it further demonstrates his ignorance. Sunday,
FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers that the agency, after a review of new
emails, hasn't changed its opinion that Hillary Clinton shouldn’t face criminal
charges. Comey explained that the FBI had reviewed 600,000 e-mails from the
computer of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Hillary aide Huma Abedin.
So computer expert Trump told people at a rally, "You can't review 650,000
new emails in eight days. You can't do it, folks."
Well of course you CAN, and anyone
with an e-mail account knows you can. Every e-mail account has a search mode.
Here’s how you do it, Donald. You start by searching the e-mails for
ones from Hillary. Finding those (let’s suppose there are 33,000 – Trump’s
favorite number), you then search those e-mails that have a security rating
from Confidential to Top Secret. Let’s assume there are 50, so you see which
ones are not already in the hands of the FBI, because those have already
exonerated Hillary from any charges.
So how many – if any – are left?
And what do they reveal? Apparently, according to Director Comey, nothing that
will make him change his initial opinion back in August that Hillary had not
violated any laws. Too bad. Trump had only last week, praised Comey for
continuing to find new “evidence” to convict “crooked Hillary.” But don’t
worry, Trump will deny saying it even though YOU and I can hear
him say it on our computers.
However, there is something that is not
kosher in this whole affair. Why did Comey make the announcement of the
discovery of those e-mails in the first place and make them sound so ominous?
Perhaps even more interesting is that it appears that the information was
leaked by members of the FBI to the Trump campaign even before Comey’s
announcement. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani had made the announcement
prior to Comey’s on Sean Hannity’s show on FOX-TV, and the smirk on his face
was nauseating.
But think about it: After November 8
there is a distinct possibility that Trump’s face will disappear into the
sunset and put an end to the careers of many of the supporters of this angry
miserable old man, until his own trials begin for his Trump University and
perhaps for the many instances of his sexual misconduct.
