Illegal search? Say it ain't so!

Yeah. I don't really see where they would need a separate warrant as they had the computer as part of an investigation of Weiners Pedo Charges.... They were searching it already.

Clinton is not going to lose.
Trump is far more worse than Clinton could ever be.
A racist and bigot in the Whitehouse? Not to mention a pervert?
I don't think so.
No US Supreme Court is worth all that.

In the end, the emails are not going to matter.
And all presidents make mistakes.
Bush with 9/11 then Iraq and WMD's.
Bill Clinton with Monica.
Nixon with tapes.
Even old Abe Lincoln made a terrible mistake, a night at the theater.

Hillary just made some mistakes, while Donald Trump is an outright unpatriotic commie perv that managed to fool 38% of the people.
38% is not enough to get one elected.
Maybe in Putin's Russia, but not in America.

Well, then, why have they now obtained a separate warrant? Obviously because the original warrant pertained only to Weiner's emails, not Huma's.

Like I said, Hillary is going to win, emails or no emails.
So I guess all the Donald Trump folks will just have to riot after all.

I do not understand one thing. News reports that there are "tens of thousands" of new emails discovered in Weiner's laptop. Assuming some of them are Ms. Abedin's, I do not understand how they can be newly discovered emails? She reportedly used 1) Clintonmail.com and 2) Yahoo.com accounts along with her State.gov email. Majority of uses seem to have been CC/BCC'ing of unclassfied emails to herself.

I am ruling out the possibility those accounts were set up as IMAP accounts, since that means emails staying in server, and FBI must have had an access to the account (Yahoo one) from the previous investigation. If some of the accounts were POP3 accounts, how could she have not said anything about such a massive amount of data on a unique laptop? She could not have possibly forgotten about it. Is it not too big of an evidence for her to "forget," if she was indeed sending those emails to herself every single time? And why was the fact that she was CC/BCC'ing her mails to herself not been discovered from previous investigation?

And all of these on Anthony Weiner's laptop?! Why did she not take possession of those emails when she separated from him, knowing full well that the separation might well lead to a divorce and her emails could end up out in the wild?

I wonder if there is any truth to this, or if this is the ultimate "When did you stop beating your wife?" question. Ah the things you can do when you are retiring.

Ties between Yanukovych, Russian oligarchs & Manafort are well established. He only quit because Trump needed better & more brazenly dishonest mouthpieces.

most likely scenario in my mind seems to be that,

1) Huma emailed stuff from her work account to personal account to print out or view outside of work (it's also been reported that the .gov email system is awful and really hard to work with remotely)

2) she setup Outlook on this PC at some point for whatever reason to check email (maybe this was a shared computer that had both her and her husband's accounts on it, or it was his that she used once when her own primary laptop was broken or something)

3) this was several years ago and probably wasn't on her radar while getting a divorce from her husband who had just been found to be sexting a minor all while simultaneously working on Hillary's Presidential campaign and traveling all over the country on a daily basis.

maybe I'll eat crow over this, but imho the only way this turns into something major is if either Hillary's deleted emails were forwarded to Huma and cached on this PC, if the emails contain classified intel (which would put Huma in deep shit but I don't see how it would fall on Hillary), or the FBI decides to prosecute Huma for perjury since she did swear under oath that she turned over all devices used.

Yeah, but I wonder if there is truth to the FBI having a lot more information than what is in the public, and if it is deeper that just him.

Or Weiner just copied her email to his computer across a wireless home network.

There was a second Trump advisor that resigned, Carter Page, who has ties to Russia too:

According to multiple sources briefed on the issue, Page’s Russian dealings have been the topic of congressional briefings.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) reportedly wrote a letter to FBI Director James Comey after one of the briefings this summer about reports of Page meeting with “high ranking sanctioned individuals” in Moscow, asking for an investigation and calling the meetings evidence of “significant and disturbing ties” between the campaign and the Kremlin.

Notice that Harry Reid is even mentioned, as Reid himself mentions in his recent letter to Comey. Need more? :)

Don't worry, when all else fails, blame the ruskies.

Forget all of the ties to Hillbilly and the Muslim Brotherhood, various sharia law countries, Huma's dad and Sharia law, corrupt dictators in Africa, Haiti...etc. How about that Doug Band memo?

Their spiderweb of corruption is collapsing. Isn't it glorious?

How, exactly, did Harry get that injury anyway? Do you *really* think it was because he took a little tumble exercising? Really?

Good ole Harry should watch it before he tries to obstruct justice. But hey, let's get BagHolder out and decry Comey, because, you know, he's non-partisan, and stuff.

Doug Schoen, a democratic strategist, who has been an ardent supporter, just said today he can no longer support her and if she is elected it will result in a constitutional crisis.

It would be the ultimate irony if Hillary's obsessive desire for secrecy and desire to shield her presidential ambitions from FOIA requests of her official acts as SoS was what denies her the Presidency.

/scatterbrained response...

Your scream of consciousness seems to work like a steel ball hitting the bumpers on a pinball machine... including ending with TILT and the flippers going dead as the ball rolls back into the rack.

Needs more Vincent Foster and Benghazi.

It will result in a Constitutional crisis because the Senate Republican party has already stated that it will refuse to even hear a HRC nominee to the USSC.
It would be the ultimate irony if Hillary's obsessive desire for secrecy and desire to shield her presidential ambitions from FOIA requests of her official acts as SoS was what denies her the Presidency.
What is ironic is that after 25+ years of Republican witch hunts of HRC that have resulted in absolutely nothing, a simple letter that says that there might be unexamined emails is being blown up by the libruuul media and could perhaps cost HRC the office, or the Democratic party the Senate, when the other thousands of emails that have already been poured over have shown zero intent to avoid "FOIA requests", unlike how a previous SOS set up his email server to avoid them. Now that would be ironic.

The Feds had a warrant to seize and examine the e-mails from Huma Weiners devices, when they found evidence of further crimes related to an ongoing investigation they can proceed to use them. It's time they fixed previous errors and brought the case in front of a Grand jury. Too bad that partisan interference on the part of Obama's State and Justice departments kept this from happening over a year ago.

Damn even CNN is reporting that it's likely the deleted emails are on here:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/30/politics/clinton-emails-fbi-abedin/index.html
You are misreading the statement. Clintons lawyers went through all her emails. They sent work related emails to the FBI. They deleted all personal emails. Then they wiped the server.

So any email on that laptop was certainly from before the server was wiped. No question about it. What is unknown is what percentage are duplicates the FBI has and what percentage are the personal emails the FBI never saw.

Msnbc is reporting that experts think this is all much ado about nothing.
