Chapter 8, admitted that they had to have a meeting because the bureau was getting a lot of flack from retired agents, about why Clinton was not charged. Also admitted to being involved with "educating" the media over where they were wrong.

Chapter 9; Admits to finding Clinton e-mails on Weiners laptop. The case agent and SSA told us that because the search warrant for the laptop was limited to child exploitation offenses, they agreed during this meeting that the emails were not covered under the search warrant and the case agent should not review those emails.

The notes included references to “imaging, processing ½ way through,” “141k emails,” and seven domains, which were @clinton.com/gov, @state.gov, @clintonemail.com, @AW.com, @clintonfoundation.org, @presidentclinton.com, and @hillaryclinton.com

Our review of Strzok’s text messages revealed that McCabe discussed the Weiner laptop with Strzok and Priestap on September 28. Later that same day, Strzok and Page discussed the meeting in a series of text messages. Their exchange is quoted below. The sender of each text message is identified after the timestamp. 7:25 p.m., Strzok: “Got called up to Andy’s earlier...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....” 7:27 p.m., Page: “Turned over to them why?” 7:28 p.m., Strzok: “Apparently one of his recent texting partners may not have been 18...don’t have the details yet” 7:29 p.m., Page: “Yes, reported 15 in the news.” 7:31 p.m., Strzok: “And funny. Bill [Priestap] and I were waiting outside his door. He was down with the director....” 7:51 p.m., Strzok: “So I kinda want to go up to NY tomorrw [sic], coordinate this, take a leisurely Acela back Friday....” Strzok stated that he was sure that “got called up to Andy’s” referred to McCabe’s office, but he had no recollection of that meeting. Strzok could not recall who first told him about the Weiner laptop, only recalling that someone told him that some “Clinton-type emails” had been discovered in New York.

McCabe was fired correctly.

He Coleman told us that he kept regularly took notes in a journal. Coleman’s notes from October 4 contained the following entry:

(1) Anthony Wiener [sic]

(2) [Unrelated]

(3) Wiener [sic] – texting 15 yo – Sexually Explicit

9/26 – Federal SW – IPhone/IPAD/Laptop Initial analysis of laptop – thousands emails Hillary Clinton & Foundation Crime Against Children

We asked Coleman about these notes and he told us that, given their placement in his notebook, the notes would most likely represent information he was briefed on first thing in the morning by his subordinates in the Criminal Investigative Division. Coleman stated that he may have passed this information to other FBI executives after the morning briefing with the Director, but he could not remember if that is.
