With furious Democrats - and the Clinton Campaign - now openly blasting the FBI's reopened investigation (as Republicans take delight for once in having a government agency reinforce their side of events), the question turns to just what emails were found on Weiner's laptop, and how damaging their contents are for the FBI to take the unprecedented step of "intervening" in a major political event just days before the national election.
We first laid what was the most likely explanation yesterday, when we showed several examples of Huma Abedin emails being sent from her work email account to her personal account at humaabedin@yahoo.com, courtesy of a Judicial Watch FOIA release. Of the more than 160 emails in the latest Judicial Watch release, some 110 emails – two-thirds of the total – were forwarded by Abedin to two personal addresses she controlled. The Washington Times reported in August 2015 that the State Department had admitted to a federal judge that Abedin and Mills used personal email accounts to conduct government business in addition to Clinton’s private clintonemail.com to transact State Department business.
One email from May 15, 2009, was sent by Abedin from her State Department email to her personal email. Abedin was archiving in her personal email account an email Hillary Clinton sent her from Clinton’s private email server at HDR22@clintonemail.com. Abedin was asked to print out attachments to an email Mills sent via a private address the previous day to Clinton involving “timetables and deliverables” for her review via Alec Ross, a technology policy expert who then held the title of senior adviser for innovation to Secretary Clinton.
However, while forwarding Hillary's emails to her personal email server for "convenience" is one thing, what is more troubling is the amount of redaction involved in these emails which migrated to the open email account, which as we now know ended up in Anthony Weiner's computer: in the above example, the two pages of timetables and deliverables attached to the email were 100 percent redacted, with “PAGE DENIED” stamped across the first redacted page.
An argument can be made that the extensive redaction confirms confidential material was part of the transmission.
This is a nuanced point being pushed by Hillary Clinton supporters such as Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald, who in an article yesterday tried to make a case citing "sources" (even though the FBI said that nobody has seen the content of the Weiner/Abedin emails), that "no emails being examined by FBI were to or from Clinton."
No emails being examined by FBI were to or from Clinton. All of this has to do with procedures followed by an
aide. https://t.co/mcsBi7j7XU

It remains to be seen just what is in the emails, although whether Hillary sent emails with confidential content herself, or directed, or simply allowed her closest aide, Huma Abedin to forward such emails to her outside unsecured email address (where they subsequently ended up on Anthony Weiner's notebook), is what this latest case will be all about and how it will be defended and prosecuted in the media, by the water coolers and perhaps, in court.
However, we do know one thing: according to the NYT, the number of Huma emails that made their way to Weiner's PC was staggering:
The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case - one federal official said they numbered in the tens of thousand
Which brings up two more critical questions: i) when she was questioned by the FBI over the summer, did Huma reveal and admit the existence of these "thousands" of emails located on a personal, home computer, and ii) will the FBI be able to comb through everything in the next 10 days ahead of the election? If the answer to the second question is no, will the US presidential election really take place with one candidate currently under FBI investigation, one which could potentially lead to impeachment proceedings within weeks or days of her being elected president?
Still, the biggest irony in this latest debacle is that it was largely predicted by Donald Trump himself back in August of 2015.
It came out that Huma Abedin knows all about Hillary’s private illegal emails. Huma’s PR husband, Anthony
Weiner, will tell the world.

On a yahoo account.
Our enemies across the whole world know our secrets.
Love the expressions
My money says that Huma was a mole for the radical islamists.
I suspect that Huma’s Yahoo email account was Huma’s dropbox for the Muslim Brotherhood. An online email account can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The reason why the emails were on Wiener’s computer is because they used a thick client like Outlook to access the emails from the Yahoo website.
I magine that everything of importance that Hillary sent to Houma was then forwarded to the yahoo email account to be read by the Muslim Brotherhood at their leisure.
The search warrant on Wiener....was a New York City cop deal. It was them examining the whole thing. I think this is why the FBI couldn’t hide the evidence or make it go away.
Well, I have received three different opinions.
U.S. Attorney in New York has them and referred to FBI.
FBI had them all along and just found them.
NYPD had them and referred to FBI.
So bottom line, we should all rest comfortably that our State secrets are now secured by the FBI....plus anyone Huma, Tony, any foreign government or hacker of Yahoo, any flash drive used by anyone who had access on the strange and wonderful journey of the laptop.
God Bless America.
Haven’t seen you for awhile. How are you and Mrs America
in Florida?
Hi. Good to see your moniker. I hope you are doing well.
The First lady and I are doing good. We can’t wait to vote. Early voting in Pinellas just started. We may wait till the 8th, so we can wear red and the MAGA hats.
Karnac thinks it will be Trump in a landslide.

I agree with Karmac.
If the Clinton campaign wants to prove that there’s nothing important in those emails, they can release them. I’m sure they’re still on the Yahoo server.
Excellent. I may have stolen that from Zakeet a few months ago.
Huma Abedin emails being sent from her work email account to her personal account at humaabedin@yahoo.com.
Yahoo! data breach. In late 2014, hackers stole information associated with at least 500 million Yahoo! user accounts. This breach was publicly disclosed by Yahoo two years later on September 22, 2016. The data breach is the largest discovered in the history of the Internet.
Since then about every two months, we get an email supposedly from someone we know with a Yahoo email acct., stating that they are dire need of money while in some trouble in some foreign country. Or their grandkids have been kidnapped, and they need money.
All of these people have been warned about Yahoo and their passwords are like A12345B or easier. They are to lazy or dumb to take care of stuff. When this happens, I send them an email demanding them to remove me from their email list, and they will be responsible for any damages that might happen to their lack on internet security.
Whoa. Good call.
I strongly suspect Ms. Abedin was keeping a Pearl Harbor file by forwarding Mr. Wiener particularly incriminating e-mails in case she was thrown under the bus by Hillary at some point in the future.
That was the Petraeus Broadwood method.
He’s as good as Ramirez.
