NEW YORK — A newly unsealed search warrant for Anthony Weiner’s electronics revealed he had turned the items over to a private investigative firm as the feds eyed his sexts with a minor.

The warrant, signed Sept. 26, 2016, in Manhattan Federal Court, shows that Weiner handed his iPad, Dell computer and iPhone over to Granite Intelligence as the FBI investigated him for an array of offenses relating to text exchanges with a 15-year-old girl.

Among the potential offenses listed on the warrant were transfer of obscene material to a minor and exploitation of a minor.

The former congressman had “transferred” the electronics to the firm three days prior to the date of the warrant, according to the paperwork.

Didn't the NYPD score the laptop with Hillary's classified documents on it?

Slick move there, just broke the chain of custody. Can now claim anything found there wasn’t his.

IIRC NYPD SVU Manhattan investigated the allegations, took his devices to the NYPD computer crimes lab who discovered the classified texts and notified USA Eastern District Bhahra and the Manhattan office of the FBI.

“Gave his electronics to a private firm”
Or
Did he “give is privates to an electronics firm”
With Weinerit could be either.

With Weinter, “private”, “firm” and “probed” in the headline the possibilities are....

...positively obscene.

Now we know why the criminal media has been sneaking in stories about CGI that can be created on computers undistinguishable from real.

I will need to dig to find it, but I seem to recall within the past month seeing an article that laid out the decision-making process and timeline that led to Comey reopening Hillary’s case in September 2016. It shouldn’t be too hard to pin down who would have tipped Weiner off. The Bureau had previously given Hillary plenty of advance notice to review her files during the Benghazi phase of the investigation.

This wasn't the article I had in mind, but it's relevant: HUGE: Comey was FORCED to tell Congress about Weiner emails only because George Toscas at DOJ found out about them!

Also see this: "Other law enforcement officials, however, have said they are concerned that the issue seemed to die for a period of time at McCabe's desk, without explanation. . .The dormant laptop issue then appeared to gain new attention inside the FBI and Justice Department. At a meeting of senior officials of both agencies, senior Justice Department official George Toscas asked about the status of the inquiry into the emails on Weiner's laptop, according to people familiar with the matter.": Internal Justice Department probe eyes McCabe’s role in final weeks of 2016 election

REVEALED: FBI boss Andrew McCabe knew about emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop a month BEFORE bureau chief Comey told Congress in famous letter that Hillary says cost her the election

"The messages indicate that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe knew about thousands of new emails concerning Clinton’s private email server during her tenure at the State Department on or before Sept. 28. Comey did not provide information about the emails to Congress until Oct. 28, just days before the election, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. . . The text message that tipped off the lag in notifying Congress was sent by FBI agent Peter Strzok on Sept. 28. Strzok was eventually removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry into Russian meddling in the election following revelations that he had exchanged anti-Trump and pro-Clinton text messages. “Got called up to Andy’s earlier,” Strzok wrote in a Sept. 28 text. He added: “hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner’s atty to sdny, includes a ton of material from spouse. Sending team up tomorrow to review ... this will never end ....”": Senior FBI agents knew of new Clinton emails from Anthony Wiener's laptop weeks before Congress was informed: Report

Good one.

Question: what kind of taste does Huma have? Lover of lesbian Hillary for years. Married to sex offender and ugly monster and liar Weiner (Carlos Danger to you).
Is that the best she could do?

Thanks for those links, I missed that part of the story.

I seem to recall one of the figures in the Hillary-Mueller camp having a brother or inlaw in the NYPD upper echelons but the name escapes me right now.
