In short, there is no evidence of that hypothesized "hacking," and your use of the biggest word in the English language -- "if" -- exposes the underlying premise of your statement: speculation, mixed with unevidenced suspicion, made possible by slight misstatement of the facts. And omits the fact that "Wikileaks" is a criminal organization operated by a fugitive from justice.
2. The only emails potentially relevant were those between 2009 and 2013, while Clinton was Sec. of State. Those would likely be far fewer than 650,000.
3. There has never been any evidence of wrongdoing concerning Clinton's emails. In fact, she did the same as her predecessors Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell, the latter having encouraged her to use "a private computer".
None of that was illegal, but the reason only Clinton was alleged to have committed crimes is that (1) she is named Clinton, (2) she is a Democrat, and (3) she is running for President.
4. Clinton is by now the most vetted political candidate in US history, and therefore thoroughly shown to be not corrupt, and not corruptible. (The Clintons released 39 YEARS of tax returns -- and yet are alleged to be "hiding" "something"!?) The irony is that that vetting can be trusted because it was conducted by Clinton's enemies. The irony is that she has been consistently proven to be not guilty of any wrongdoing by her Republican accusers.
5. Using computers and modern software, it takes little time to conduct the searches that were conducted in the emails. One wonders, though, why it took so long with so few emails.
It's too soon to know what in hell Comey was thinking and doing, and intending. But he crossed lines one does not legally cross. As did the apparent collusion, perhaps even conspiracy, between Giuliani and NY FBI office personnel, and the leaking of baseless hate-documents.
There needs to be criminal investigations and prosecutions of the perpetrators, including Giuliani. (That won't happen with Comey, but he has committed career suicide so is finished, regardless the facts as finally determined.) They, including Giuliani, should be charged and prosecuted for sedition, subversion, and or treason, but that won't happen.
Sens. Franken, and Feinstein, are determined that Comey will be answering to the Senate. And what is urgently needed is a thorough investigation of all of it, including any collusion between Comey and or other rogue FBI agents, and Republican Congressmen involved with the continuing baseless smear campaign, as excuse for utterly baseless "investigations". Some history:
1. The attack on Pearl Harbor, which killed thousands, was investigated 8 times.
2. The 9/11 attacks, which killed thousands, has half "investigated" -- only enough to shift the cloud over the Bush criminal enterprise onto the intelligence community, which half of the "investigation" has never occurred. We are left to believe that all 17 independent intelligence agencies failed at the same time on the same day.
3. The attack on Benghazi, which killed 4, has been "investigated" (so far) 8 -- some say 9 -- times.
4. Under G. W. Bush, there were attacks on 20 consulates and embassies, and 66 were killed. No outrage. No accusations. No investigations.
As concerns the emails:
Rice and Powell did exactly the same as Clinton -- none of which was illegal. And we have emails documenting that Powell encouraged Clinton to use "a private computer" because that way one could "get around things". But they aren't being falsely accused, let alone investigated, because they are Republicans, and not running for President.
