The NY Times and the Wall Street Journal both reported on Monday morning that an FBI warrant application to a federal judge over the weekend for permission to search Huma Abedin's emails and laptop had been granted. The application was made on the basis of the Clinton email investigation. Necessarily, that application (as required by the Constitution's Fourth Amendment) would have been supported by FBI affidavits.
This new fact is a development of immense potential significance – both for Mrs. Clinton personally and for us as American citizens. It is also unprecedented in American history.
At a minimum, it enables us to pierce the thick cloud of black ink and disinformation released over the weekend by Team Hillary and which is being widely misreported in the current news cycle.
The FBI agents had to make this warrant application because their existing Fourth Amendment search authority was on the basis of Anthony Weiner's (unrelated) suspected misconduct with an underage girl. That investigation was already a grand jury matter. However, that grand jury's authority – which is supervised by a federal judge -- did not authorize the Bureau to pursue information which might be pertinent to the inquiry into Mrs. Clinton's use of a personal email server while she was Secretary of State. Making that application, under standard DOJ protocol, required approval from Main Justice. In this case, the assistant attorney in charge of the Criminal Division, if not the attorney general.

Very True and I believe that application for a search warrant is public record..
Another very useful article. Thank you.
Coney can’t “fight back” but can come out and say “since this is no longer a preliminary inquiry but rather a criminal investigation that will use a grand jury to determine indictment I cannot respond to Mrs. Clinton “
Hehehehehehee
Just wondering - since Mrs. Bill Clinton’s lawyers sifted through and quite possibly deleted classified material, what is their liability now that the motha load has been discovered?
Fantastic suggestion!
Can we get a Grand Jury together this week? Or does the DOJ hold the strings on that which means earliest would be Jan 20 if then.
Is Anthiny Weiner our version of Henry Hill?
Major culpability.
What is a flying monkey?
In the first place: It’s “Weinergate”
>>What is a flying monkey?
It’s a monkey with wings that flies. They serve as the minions of the Wicked Witch in Oz.
“Can we get a Grand Jury together this week?”
Did you read the full article? The author is saying that there is now indeed a Federal grand jury . . . The same one empowered to look into the setting case of Weiner.
The DOJ holds the strings, and guess who is assigned? None other than Peter Kadzik, one of Podesta’s great friends. It’s so nice to know the right people, isn’t it?
On Laura Ingraham yesterday she noted this wkend she spoke w/ a recently retired FBI friend and he said their are Thousands of Classified Emails.
My question that is spurred by this excellent article, is of the 5 Clinton Foundation Investigations are any or all of them in Grand Jury Mode, or, will they now be upgraded to the Grand Jury Process/Status and will they be incorporated into this current Grand Jury Effort?
Obama Pardon is the only way they skate, IMHO they'd be in jail for the rest of their lives, the depth and breath of their malfeasance ( and desire for $ ) makes me almost Ill...
You want your kids isolated from risk in life, but to rope Cheslea into this and make her an accomplice is horrid, put aside her lack of choosing a career totally out of her parents purview, aka, medicine, accounting etc. However she probably willingly joined this "Crew" ...... Not a good choice...
This is why Obama has begun to distance himself from Hillary.
If Obama pardons them, his legacy is over.
IIRC, in a grand jury proceeding, the ADA is not the only inquisitor. Any member of the jury can question a witness on the stand and they have to answer. And according to the article, if they take the Fifth they can be immunized immediately and then compelled to answer. If they refuse after that they are in contempt and cam be jailed indefinitely.
Her minions.
