This is the end of the article.
To summarize so far: The original September FBI final report, used by FBI Director Comey to justify his non finding of illegality, outlined mobile data storage devices -connected to the Clinton email set up- that were not voluntarily turned over to the FBI until evidence of their existence was determined by forensic examination. AND the FBI reporting of those devices was opaquely revealed, with details redacted, in the final report itself.
Now we fast forward to last Sunday’s mysterious 300 page FBI release.
Along with 200+ pages of “Notice to Preserve Evidence” documentation, we find numerous pages outlining actual physical evidence retrieved. Within those pages we find the following:

(Page #283 FBI Investigative Release #5)
There it is.
The mysterious missing Seagate Hard Drive appears; along with dozens of more exhibits of computers, servers, lap tops, thumb drives and portable storage devices gathered by the FBI and held as physical evidence.
The FBI has these devices in their custody. They are not “missing“.
So why is this important? Again, remember the original question: “what’s the motive behind the latest release/upload“?…
A reasonable case can be made that internal elements within the FBI are intentionally showing how much evidence there is to support the case against Hillary Clinton. Evidence that was clearly never revealed as part of the original James Comey final public report.
Additionally, the questions expand: Was Comey aware of that evidence? or was Comey’s determination and decision isolated away from that evidence by internal political elements favorable to the Clintons, who hid -albeit openly- some of the investigative material?
Continuing: Are there FBI White Hats beaconing to incoming administration? ….and/or simultaneously notifying FBI Director Comey of additional knowledge they will not allow to remain hidden? ….and adding to that evidence file they release specific aspects proving Sidney Blumenthal was sent classified information to ensure the latest release cannot simply be brushed aside.
If I were a betting person, I’d say that’s the most likely scenario. If that wasn’t the motive for this release there would have been no need for redactions -of this specific information- in the original FBI final report.
Essentially, if you connect these now visible dots, this mysterious release #5 is the story behind the redactions in the original September 2nd Comey final report.
Some may argue an alternate motive might be to force the hand of Obama to grant a pardon for Secretary Clinton. However, in the larger scheme of things that’s a moot point because a pardon implies the presence of guilt.
Accepting the way this has been done, it just doesn’t look like a release to force the hand of President Obama. Again, this release is not a public records release announced by the FBI. The ‘forced pardon’ motive/approach could much more easily be undertaken with a simple phone call to a back channel at the White House.
My hunch is, this latest release could be just as much news to FBI Director Comey as it is to us.
You have to understand that Comey is "of a certain age".
He's been a US Attorney for most of his career, and probably is not entirely comfortable with computers and their nuances.
"Important personages" in law and the government usually have "people" for dealing with computer stuff.
They don't get their hands dirty with minutiae that is reserved for cleanup by their peasant minions.
