FBI Director James Comey testified Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Hillary Clinton emails containing classified information were forwarded to the computer of Anthony Weiner, the former congressman and estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
Comey also strongly defended himself on Capitol Hill for his Oct. 28 letter notifying Congress of newly discovered emails appearing pertinent to Clinton's private server investigation, arguing it would have been "catastrophic" to conceal such a revelation.
He explained that his investigative team informed him in late October of metadata from Weiner's computer showing thousands of Clinton's emails on that device, including what they thought might be the "missing emails" from her first three months at the State Department.
Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 over a sexting scandal and saw a 2013 mayoral run in New York City go up in flames for similar reasons. The investigation that led to Comey's letter concerned his sexting with an underage girl.
Acknowledging that he did not want to influence the election in any way, Comey told Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) that he could only see two options: Speak or conceal.
"Having repeatedly told this Congress we are done and there's nothing there … To re-start in a hugely significant way, potentially finding the emails that would reflect on her intent from the beginning, and not speak about it would require an act of concealment in my view," he said.
Comey said that speaking out with less than two weeks to go before Election Day would be "really bad," but he called an act of concealment "catastrophic."
"Between really [bad] and catastrophic, I said to my team, we've got to walk into the world of ‘really bad,'" he said. "I've got to tell Congress that we're restarting this."
His team found "thousands" of emails, some containing classified information, that were forwarded to Weiner's computer.
"Somehow, her emails were being forwarded to Anthony Weiner, including classified information," Comey said.

Comey continues to obstruct justice for H->! .
From there on to the Muslim Brotherhood via his long suffering wife no doubt.
So why hasn’t Weiner been charged with espionage?
I'm sorry Mr. Comey, but this is a crime, when are you going to send this evidence to DOJ for prosecution?
Lock her up.
For the sake of all humanity, lock her up.
Sounds like someone on the inside was actively helping Weiner build his "insurance folder."
“Somehow”
This guy is no Eliot Ness, is he?
Somehow?
The tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa?
Could that be how?
Thousands. Classified. Forwarded.
I’m no lawyer, but this sounds a touch illegal.
Yeah...”somehow.” By listening to Comey’s testimony you would think the intelligence agencies don’t have the capability to find out how these emails were ‘somehow’ being transferred to Weiner’s laptop.
He has a funny view of “concealment” too. He appeared to argue that telling Congress was enough, and that public knowledge of “his point of view” was the fault of Congress for leaking to the press.
....Who then forwarded them to a 15 year-old girl along with pictures of his penis.
Comey = mole
WTF??? What universe am I living in? He just admitted she broke the law thousands of times!!!!
“From there on to the Muslim Brotherhood via his long suffering wife no doubt.”
It’s my understanding that the computer in question wasn’t his, but his wife’s that he shared. So I am wondering how long it will take to indict her. Hillary didn’t send this stuff to Wiener, she sent it to Abedin and Wiener saw it.
