        Trump could, or course, release the emails and put this to bed. It's sort of like tax returns...oh wait...

        Do you know how DNS and metadata work? FBI gives Trump a pass without actually looking at content of those emails.

        They only had metadata for both Huma and Trump. One gets a search warrant the other doesn't. #doublestandard

        the difference is, his emails weren't federal records nor hidden from a classified government system

        I am ok with investigating Huma emails. We should be investigating his as well. He could make them public.
