Help me understand this Post story. To me it seems to contain contradictory information.

“At another point in the testimony, Comey said Abedin “forwarded hundreds and thousands of emails, some of which contain classified information.’’

Neither of those statements is accurate, said people close to the investigation.”

Later on in the Post story it says:

“Investigators identified approximately 49,000 emails which were potentially relevant to the investigation,” the letter said.

“All were reviewed with a particular focus on those containing classified information. Investigators ultimately determined that two e-mail chains containing classified information were manually forwarded to Mr. Weiner’s account.’’

So… isn’t 49,000 a large number? And if “two e-mail chains contained classified information” wasn’t Comey telling the truth when he said “some of which contained classified information?”
