BLACKMAIL: Disgraced FBI Officials Threaten to Release Weiner’s Laptop Evidence, Exposing Clinton’s if Indicted
High-ranking FBI officials believe disgraced and fired FBI leaders are using the evidence from Anthony Weiner’s laptop to stay out of prison.
That means copies of Weiner’s hard drive — which contain damaging evidence against Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin — are floating around Washington, D.C. and who knows where else.
The ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card: damaging dirt on the Clinton’s. And Blackmail and extortion used by the leaders of the once-great law enforcement agency. A new low.
Weiner is in a federal prison as a result of the files on his laptop and cell phone, after engaging in phone sex with a minor. He got off lucky, dodging child porn charges for a lighter sentence. But that is only the tip of the iceberg of what was found by the FBI on Weiner’s laptop.
“No one from the FBI is going to prison because they are using evidence as leverage,” one high-ranking FBI official said. “Don’t hold your breath if you want to see these people in handcuffs.”
But isn’t stealing federal evidence a crime in itself?
“They tampered with hundreds of cases,” another FBI insider said. “This is how they played the game. This was standard procedure. These same people ruined the FBI for their personal careers.
“They ran their own private CIA and continue to do it now from the outside.”
FBI officials believe members of Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — are too implicated in the missing federal evidence trove which contains hundreds of thousands of emails, photos, videos and records of offshore banking.
The dirt that could drain The Swamp overnight. Little wonder Congress has done nothing to reign in the wayward FBI or indict its criminals.
Why would FBI Director Christopher Wray — who was hired to reform the corrupt agency — tolerate this?
He is likely part of the problem.
This story is developing.

Looking to 2020, Kamala Harris Hires Heavy Hitter Lawyer Involved With Russian Dossier
Eyebrows were raised among Democratic officials and activists Monday when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) announced her 2020 presidential nomination bid and listed Marc Elias as her campaign’s general counsel.
Elias, head of the Perkins Coie LLP law firm’s political law practice, is among the Democratic Party’s top campaign finance experts and a recognized power-player at the highest levels.
Described on background by a veteran Democratic national campaign consultant as “the best in the business,” Elias could prove to be both an immensely valuable asset to Harris—and also a huge problem.
On the plus side, Elias gives Harris’s Democratic presidential primary campaign one of the most well-connected operatives in American politics and a significant boost early in what promises to be a heavily populated, intensely competitive primary field.
Elias and his firm currently represent every major Democratic Party committee, including the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic Governors Association, and numerous individual senators and representatives.
He was also the chief attorney for former Secretary of State John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign against President George W. Bush and for the White House bid of another former chief U.S. diplomat, Hillary Clinton, in 2016.
Elias represented former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) in the sharply contested 2008 recount battle, and he has extensive litigation experience in voting rights and redistricting cases across the country. He also represented former Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) in his losing 2018 recount battle.
As a result, Elias knows everybody who is anybody in Democratic campaigns, including donors, consultants, good guys to know and opportunists to avoid at all cost.
Given the California junior senator’s lack of experience in national politics—barely two years as she was first elected to the Senate in 2016—having Elias at hand will help her avoid costly rookie mistakes in fund raising and to open influential doors ahead of rivals like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Sounds like a two-fer. What's the downside?
