When then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was closing the Hillary Clinton email investigation for a second time just days before the 2016 election, he certified to Congress that his agency had “reviewed all of the communications” discovered on a personal laptop used by Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, Anthony Weiner.
At the time, many wondered how investigators managed over the course of one week to read the “hundreds of thousands” of emails residing on the machine, which had been a focus of a sex-crimes investigation of Weiner, a former Congressman.
Comey later told Congress that “thanks to the wizardry of our technology,” the FBI was able to eliminate the vast majority of messages as “duplicates” of emails they’d previously seen. Tireless agents, he claimed, then worked “night after night after night” to scrutinize the remaining material.
But virtually none of his account was true, a growing body of evidence reveals.
Raid on Michael Cohen - April 2018
Plead guilty - August 2018
4 months from raid to imprisonment
Jeff Sessions sworn in - Feb 2017

As I recall, Strzok had the laptop for some time at his residence.
Anyone know if that has been confirmed?
so, now that we (we @ FR questioned this early ) know, get after the emails now.
The FEDs must surely still have them.
Hey Jeff, you now have reason for a 2nd Special Counsel.
OMG. Where is Sessions??????
Comey lied. Nothing being done about that why?
Sessions is now actively obstructing justice.
So, James Comey is just a liar covering for Hillary Clinton. /Captain Obvious
“As I recall, Strzok had the laptop for some time at his residence.”
I don’t recall that. Could it be this?

FBI agent Peter Strzok emailed the draft copy of the Anthony Weiner search warrant to himself on his private email address days before the election, which allowed him to make changes to the warrant without being detected by FBI documentation. This revelation came out in the Michael Horowitz inspector general report.
If Strzok had printed out the draft warrant at his office, it would be subject to official FBI records. But instead he sent it to his private email on October 29, which allowed him to print it off at home. Insiders believe that Strzok showed the draft warrant to other people, despite the warrant being under seal by a federal judge.
The Anthony Weiner warrant ended up being limited in scope, leaving out some of the private email domains that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin used to send each other classified information.
You would all make excellent Millennials.
Thanks to the weaselry of Comey’s lying ...
You’d make a fine Democrat. They don’t thank your for your support of the Sessions DOJ enabled Muellwr coup.
If you’re talking about one of those anti abortion, low taxes, less government, pro 2A and military individuals who voted for Trump, you’re not far off.
Meanwhile, stop crying about Sessions doing low visibility investigations.
Comey has no credibility.
The Sessions DOJ is fabricating crimes directly Implicating POTUS. If that doesn’t alarm you there is no hope for you. Sorry.
