Weiner hands laptop over to FBI as Clinton keeps her distance
New York Post ^ | 30 Oct 2016 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 10/30/2016 8:16:10 AM PDT by Meet the New Boss

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, what’s 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 Abedin’s 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 Abedin’s emails, claimed that it’s 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.

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.

...........

the Almighty works in mysterious ways...actually its kind of ironic considering who the players are!

The issue isn't just who has possession of the documents or devices; it's a matter of the legal protocol required in order to use them in a criminal case against a defendant.

If the police found incriminating evidence against Weiner on a computer that he turned over to them (or they got with a subpoena), then it's pretty cut-and-dry. But if they took possession of the computer for the Weiner investigation through a subpoena, and then found incriminating evidence against someone else, then they probably need a second subpoena just to make sure all proper legal channels were followed.

If Weiner turned over the computer willingly, I suspect all bets are off and no subpoena would be needed in order to use evidence against a separate person in a separate criminal investigation.

I know the news said it was a subpoena served on weiner but I highly doubt any suspected criminal would be “asked” to turn over evidence against themselves thus a search warrant is more appropriate because if asked for evidence they would likely destroy it thus kicked in doors to prevent destruction of evidence.

I’m thinking now that Weiner made the insurance policy file himself. Thinking if he had the goods on hillary, he would get off Scott free if ever got in trouble.

It’s being reported that he DID turn the computer over willingly, who knows what is really going on at this point?

Breaking Anthony Weiner is cooperating with the FBI
Fox News is reporting that Anthony Weiner is cooperating with the FBI and has turned over the computer in question and therefore the FBI will not need a warrant to gain access to the material on the computer.

Tomorrow should be very interesting.

Question...

If Mr. and Mrs. Weiner shared the lap top and child porn was found on it can Huma be held culpable for having child porn on her device as well as Anthony?

Thanks

Everyone’s amateur psychologist they have inside themselves will ask was Hillary secretly creating the same relationship she had with Bill 4 Houma by arranging they’re dating and eventual marriage relationship.

Well if the Creator can make a jackass talk
he can find something useful to do with Weiner.
The Lord overlooks nothing.

Great Q. I know if your passenger in your car is in possession of an illegal gun, or in NYC an illegal knife, the owner of the vehicle can also be prosecuted

PubliusMM :" It may be that Carlos Danger owns the laptop. But, who owns the data on the laptop?"

Weiner owns the laptop
The data, if it contains Secretary of State business, is owned by the FED.gov
The data could have been transferred by synch application
with, or without permission from Huma,
which would also explain why listed under "Life Insurance", #Corruption.
This would also indicate why,
if you like your privacy, you should NEVER SYNCH your devices.

The deadliest part of this is that no matter what legal contortions Her Royal Heinous performs to do damage control, she won't escape the ridicule. The Post front pages are making me laugh so hard I have to stop looking. Three Hitler Finds Out videos and counting (NSFW on that one). Weiner is cooked. Weiner is hosed. Weiner is crooked. I mean, this stuff writes itself.

Wikileaks, in its turn, has done something equally if not more damaging. People who were expecting a single knockout blow have been disappointed - that's not what is going on. What is going on is a relentless, methodical revelation of an utterly criminal enterprise on so many fronts and composed of so many players that it beggars belief.

But Hillary finally laid low (sorry) by a ridiculous pervert named Weiner with an infatuation for a 15-year-old girl strikes me as beautifully ironic as Alger Hiss being finally compromised by papers hidden in a pumpkin, Al Capone by his tax records, or even Richard Nixon brought down by John Dean's paranoia about his wife's sexual misadventures.

And the political dynamic in this election has swung strongly away from the conspiratorial - the word fits - MSM and toward the surging, uncontrollable power of the alternate media. The Witch is losing this on a front she never expected to have to defend, against people she never thought she'd have to corrupt. The upcoming week may be the wildest Presidential election since Old Hickory's boys rolled the whiskey barrels into town. I'm feeling a little...deplorable...myself.
