The Justice Department has known about the laptop for at least two months as has the NYPD. The FBI has known about it for at least a month. Lynch and Obama have undoubtedly known about it for two months.
What are the chances that none of these players leaked anything to the Clinton Campaign?
I'll answer that: THERE IS ZERO CHANCE.
And what is the chance that Hillary said nothing to Huma? Another ZERO.
But were Hillary and Huma surprised on Friday? I think so. The whole world was surprised.
It’s hard to tell... there are so many implausibilities coming together at this point.
Though maybe the Obama side really is quietly snickering at Hillary’s debacle and really took their sweet time about letting Hillary know. Obama has something to gain here.
Huma had to know that the FBI had her lap top and she had to know what was on it since it has been reported that she kept the emails in a file called “Life Insurance”.
They knew this was coming.
Don’t Be Fooled: Hillarygate Probe Is Now a Formal Federal Criminal Investigation
Good points! Of course Hillary & Huma knew! And I am certain that Obama knew. I would not be one bit surprised if higher ups in the DNC and some reporters at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Washington Post, etc knew this before the FBI case was reopened. The surprise in this entire matter is that some accountability in this matter is even an issue. Hillary has lived her entire life involved in scandals and getting away with fraud and other crimes. She has been able to do this by having a lot of friends in high places. She and Huma ran the State Department ignoring basic security rules. She got away with it when Comey wimped out in first FBI investigation just like she always has in the past. She is invincible with all of her corrupt backers helping her out. So yes, she had to have known all about Huma and Weiner’s shared laptop with hundreds of thousands of State Department emails on it. But she did not think anything would come of it. Comey had already closed the FBI case and had proven that he was easily intimidated and afraid of being accused of influencing the election. She still plans that her cohort of lawyers and friends in the Justice Department, the DNC and media will change the narrative. And she may still be successful.
