The FBI got a warrant to search Anthony Weiner’s laptop for new evidence in the Hillary Clinton email scandal, setting off a mad dash to try and finish the massive job before Election Day, law-enforcement sources told The Post Sunday.
Weiner shared the laptop computer with his now-estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and the feds believe there are around 650,000 emails stored on it, with many from Abedin’s accounts, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“FBI agents are reviewing the emails as we speak,” one source told The Post.
Metadata found on Weiner’s laptop computer — seized as part of an investigation into his explicit, online relationship with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina — suggest it may hold thousands of emails sent to or from Clinton’s private server, sources said.
It was unclear how long the search would take, but an official briefed on the matter told The Post that the job would extend past Nov. 8, when the vast majority of Americans go to the polls.
“There are too many emails to sift through before the end of the election and that is why [the Department of Justice] was cautioning [FBI Director James Comey not to make the announcement,” the official said.
“The FBI won’t be able to look through them all and now they risk looking political.
“Many of these emails appear to be redundant. That’s to say that since Huma was on Hillary’s staff, she was apparently copied on a lot of them.Now will all of them be redundant? No, that won’t be the case for all of them,” the official added.
Agents have probable cause to search only those that relate to the Clinton probe, and they’re only expected to seize a portion of the huge cache, a law-enforcement source told The Post.

Took them a year to investigate a few thousand emails this past year, but only a week for 650,000? something stinks.
There’s no way they can do a competent job of sifting through all of those emails and analyzing them properly before Election Day.
On the other hand, I hear WikiLeaks is pretty good at it...
Give them to the folks on The_Donald subreddit over at Reddit.com. They will have those 665,000 emails sorted out by sundown!
MSM is rooting for FBI to sift through Clinton emails before Election Day
There. Fixed it.
650,000 emails in 8 days? That’s...
81,250 emails per day.
3,385 per hour.
57 per minute.
=> not likely, you’d need an army of agents which is the last thing they want.
Why is hillary so mad? her emails were just about yoga lessons and gifts for the grandkids. Maybe one or two about veterinary appointments.
Just do a whole hard drive search for the word “money”.................
Is there a "I can break the law" period where nothing, or no one, gets investigated?
There are tools that will do this job in minutes...............
Well can I make a suggestion:
Let’s search them for the following words:
Benghazi, September 11 and the days following, Podesta, Obama, Libya, Syria, Bill Clinton, Epstein,
Just for a start...
It will take one very courageous and patriotic FBI agent in the know to release the most revealing e mails to the American people at least four days before the election. Otherwise this investigation won’t really matter. Sadly very much doubt it will happen.
We will know the matter is close to completion when HUma and Hilary are called back to the FBI to supplement their original testimony.
And lets seee how many match the 30,000 printed pages of email she turned over- or if any of the stuff on those pages was edited
How much evidence is Comey and his #2 GOING TO DESTROY
THIS TIME?
Because nothing says “thorough investigation” like SPEED.
“And lets seee how many match the 30,000 printed pages of email she turned over- or if any of the stuff on those pages was edited”
Now that’s an interesting thought.
Won’t matter. With respect to the election the damage to Hillary was done the instant the announcement was made, reminding everyone that Clinton corruption is never going to go away.
Release all 650,000 now.
Hillary says there is nothing bad in there.
Call her bluff.
