Anthony Weiner is cooperating with feds investigating his sexting scandal turning over his laptop to the FBI even as Hillary Clinton has not bothered to ask her top aide, Huma Abedin, whats on the device she shared with her estranged husband.
The laptop that Weiner may have used for communicating with a 15-year-old North Carolina girl also had emails of Abedins that are relevant to the Clinton email investigation.
Fox News Bret Baier reported Sunday that Weiner had given that laptop to the FBI and that therefore a warrant may not be necessary to search the device.
SNIP
Mook, citing a report that a warrant had not been obtained by the FBI to examine Abedins emails, claimed that its possible nobody has looked at the emails on the laptop.
But this new report that Weiner is cooperating and that a warrant may not be necessary sheds new light on the ongoing scandal with Weiner, Clinton and Abedin.

Priceless!
You have outdone yourself here,LOL!!
A Listening Post where everything of importance going on in the Middle East - from political bribes to weapon movements - to shakedowns - - went into the hopper.
Hillary and Bill sell access and information. Trade in 'insider' stuff for friends, profit and trade...
Chris Stevens (career diplomat and lawyer) sensed he was in danger. Hillary turned a deaf ear to his many pleas for help.
Chris Stevens was murdered.
Clinton and CIA teams concocted a lie about a movie trailer within hours of the slaughter.
Benghazi was a CIA listening post...
YOU out-did yourself... great reply.
Legal experts have said Weiners latest sexting scandal could get him slapped with a federal charge of sexual exploitation of children, which carries a minimum of 15 years in the slammer and a maximum of 30.
We owed a lot to NYPD after 9/11. We may owe even more to them now.
Sounds like they may find traces of Hillarys inbox on Weiners hard drive.
I wonder if this turn of events is KARMA
or maybe DIVINE INTERVENTION....
Thank Bon Mots for this great fun!
Where is the Weiner hiding now?
As was stated in an earlier reply to your post, NYPD has many who hold security clearances. And these devices are evidence in a crime the NYPD and DA take very very seriously. Sexual abuse of a minor and possibly possession and distribution of child porn. For the Feebs to demand handover of these devices would require a court order, and even that would be appealed. Remember even though DeBlasio is a Red the Manhattan DA has almost a century old reputation of not allowing politics to interfere with criminal prosecution. In the last 80 years Manhattan DA’s office has had only four bosses, Tom Dewey, Frank Hogan, Bob Morgenthau and Cy Vance Jr.
As yet no custody hearing has been scheduled in Federal Court and I doubt Obama and Lynch will go the FISA route.
I am sure the Huma Weiner marriage was a total sham. I’m actually surprised they had a kid. I don’t think Huma is into that kid much, either.

Rofl!!! I need brain bleachbit now!
Last week I was saying we do need divine intervention.
I wasn’t expecting The Almighty to send help in the form of a Weiner.
Hillary and Bill know how to compromise people. They start our with ‘small’ favors and work their way up to real bribes. No one takes the first $10,000 offered... they accept ‘a book’ with no real value - or a ‘kindness’ to one of their kids.
Members of the press have been slowly seduced to being on the take the same way. The Clintons know the dark ways...
The problem is that the sex crimes unit in NYPD is not the same as the counterterrorism unit in NYPD. The latter has the security clearances, but they are not the ones working the Weiner case.
Second, if there are top secret and SAP data as there was in the other Hillary emails, then even the security clearances held by the NYPD counterterror unit would not suffice.
If the sex crimes unit of the NYPD has to surrender the laptop because they do not have security clearances to handle the info, I doubt that they would surrender it to the NYPD counterterror unit which is not working the case and has no reason to work the case, rather than to the FBI team with the advanced security clearances that has already been formed to handle the other Hillary emails.
Unfortunately, that FBI team under Comey has been running a whitewash investigation. But even so, I don’t see how the NYPD counterterror unit gets involved in this at all.
They can refuse to surrender without a Federal Court Order. That will require DoJ to obtain one in open federal court and maintain, publicly, that there may be classified info on the computer. That admission is the ballgame.
