Huma Abedin: "I have no idea how the emails got on Weiner's computer"
Zero Hedge ^ | Oct. 31, 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 10/31/2016 6:04:23 AM PDT by rickmichaels

With the FBI having obtained a warrant to begin poring over the 650,000 reported emails found on Anthony Weiner's computer, attention shifts to just what the FBI may find, with Democrats alleging that much of the thousands of emails allegedly sent from Huma Abedin's computer are duplicates or otherwise innocuous, while critics alleging more deleted and/or confidential emails may emerge. On her, behalf, however, long-time Hillary aide Huma Abedin has told the FBI she was not aware any of her emails were on the laptop investigators seized as part of its probe info Anthony Weiner's investigation.

According to Politico, the FBI engaged in a back and forth over the weekend with Abedin or her attorney, when Abedin explained the situation.

"She says she didn't know they were there," a source familiar with the investigation said. This is a sensitive topic for Abedin and the Clinton campaign, because on previous occasions, Huma - under oath - disclosed that all the emails in her possession had been accounted for and handed over to the FBI.

As CNBC adds,"there are a number of scenarios that would explain how the emails got onto the laptop without Abedin's knowledge, including that they were somehow automatically backed up from the cloud. But investigators will want to know how this happened and if there is any indication that Abedin misled them about the existence of emails.

That’s the first time I ever heard that dementia was catching. Medical researchers should use them as guinea pigs.

Hillary’s “scrub team” made a huge oversight. They failed to seize Weiner’s computer and outright destroy it. She no doubt is not happy.

It probably has something to do with Clintoonie having a private server in her toilet.

Entirely believable. If you are using Outlook for your email, search your drive for *.pst (type that in the Cortana or Run box). You will find one or more files that contain every email you have not deleted from both the original folder and the deleted folder.

Well, we now know that Huma has learned a lot from Hillary after all these years of being with her.... “The I don’t know defense”.... someone needs to pull out that old Rush Limbaugh parody with Hillary testifying and her brain is like Jello, jello, jello..... it can apply to all Clinton associates....

How about amending that to:

Sounds more like a file kept just in case she gets thrown under the bus. This assumes there is nothing more sinister going on.

It sounds like they have an email backup file, or a cloud repository of emails.
The simple truth is this: If they are, in fact, emails, then the FBI can sort them to their heart’s content. They can sort them into message threads. They can do keyword searches in any number of permutations.
In short, with the staffing of the FBI, they can tell us in a matter of just a few days whether there is any connection to the 33k missing emails.
Likewise, they can tell us if there is anything new and incriminating, compared to their earlier assessments.

This BS story that it will be well after the election (and, potentially, after the inauguration) before we can know anything definitive, is pure bunk.

Perhaps wikileaks can help out on this. Hey, Julian! Release everything.

Auto sync. But who set it up?

This is why intent is not a consideration in matters of national security. If these people are so grossly incompetent that they’ve allowed sensitive information to escape into the wild unintended, they must be prosecuted. This is criminal negligence if taken on her word alone.

If she didn't know they were there, how come they were in a folder entitled "Life Insurance"? That doesn't sound like a folder that would be named by a backup from the cloud.

Reminds me of that scene in the 1985 guilty pleasure “Spies Like Us.” The late William Prince and Bruce Davison (in supporting roles) play a couple of CIA types involved in a plot to steal a Russian ICBM, launch it and shoot it down to prove a covert missile defense program works. Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase play a pair of bumbling bureaucrats recruited to be decoys, inserted into Russia to provide cover for the primary operative team.

When the plan backfires (and Chase and Aykroyd somehow avert nuclear war) a military special ops team breaks into the missile defense complex to arrest the generals who ran the scheme. When the CIA guys learn they’re going to be arrested too, they protest, claiming “We were kidnapped, that’s right, kidnapped.”

In an “honest” investigation/court proceeding, Huma’s
“I don’t know how 650,000 e-mails wound up on my laptop” will be equally ineffective. But then again, Hillary could still win (and pardon everyone, including herself), or Obama could wave the magic pardon wand as he leaves office. Or what the hell, go to trial in D.C. and pack the jury with reliable Dim voters who will be happy to acquit Huma.

And if all else fails, there’s that G550 flight to her destination of choice in the Middle East.

My guess is that things unfolded this way:

Huma and Carlos Danger had multiple computers at their residence, and had several online email accounts. Huma apparently was in the habit of forwarding emails to her Yahoo account from her State Dept system so she could print them without going through whatever hassle is necessary to print on a secured classified-material printer.

However, at least some of the systems at their home were configured to download all emails from their various online accounts. This laptop was probably configured that way a while ago, and over time, they forgot that this system was saving local copies of all emails from all of their accounts. “Carlos” probably used this machine for his deviancy specifically because it was rarely-used otherwise, under the assumption that Huma had either forgotten it or ignored it, but every time he fired it up, it would synchronize with all the online email accounts in the background.

There's 33,000 of them, hopefully retained on Huma's computer. Yoga... ... Hillary in a headstand, big butt in the air?
