On Friday afternoon FBI Director James Comey announced that due to new findings, the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server had been reopened.
The new information was found inadvertently during a separate, unrelated investigation of former Congressman Anthony Weiner's sexting with an underage girl. Emails related to Hillary Clinton's case were found on a laptop belonging to Weiner and ex-wife Huma Abedin, who is a longtime aide for Clinton.
As a result, requests for search warrants to read through the new information were submitted to the Department of Justice. They still haven't been approved. Yahoo News has the exclusive:
As of Saturday night, the FBI was still in talks with the Justice Department about obtaining a warrant that would allow agency officials to read any of the newly discovered Abedin emails, and therefore was still in the dark about whether they include any classified material that the bureau has not already seen.
“We do not have a warrant,” a senior law enforcement official said. “Discussions are under way [between the FBI and the Justice Department] as to the best way to move forward.”

A crime family never accepts members unless they are corruptible or are already corrupt.
This is a planted story by the Clinton campaign. They were all quoting it this morning. It’s complete garbage.
Go to a judge and get a warrant like actual criminal investigators do every day.
Screw the Justice Department.
Take them out of the loop. Don’t tell them a damned thing either. When you’ve got a case, take it to a court and try the case.
The parachute he thought he grabbed was a hikers tote sack. He’s still going to hit hard.
Tell the Dems to vote on November 9th. If you actually want to “get these bastards out,” you’d better vote on the 8th.
If they have the laptop, why do they need a warrant? I think this whole thing will turn out to be nothing.
I remember that joke.

This is a “straw” the Democrats are holding onto hoping to fool some people. The important data came to light in a legal investigation of Wiener’s sexting activities. When the NYPD Sex Crimes Unit came across it in plain sight, as officers of the court they HAD to turn it over to the proper authority which in this case was the FBI.

I am not sure, but the FBI are the investigators, and the DOJ are the prosecutors. This needs to go till after January to get this prosecuted...unless there is a pardon.
How about this. ...
Humma and weiner in divorce. ...
So they get half of the computer each
.
Just cut it in half with a skillsaw.
Considering the visibility of this case, the ONLY thing that would preclude the DOJ from approving this request and seeking a warrant from a Federal Judge...is if the emails implicate Obama in a serious national security crime.
They seek ANOTHER warrant specific to those emails to ensure an unquestioned path to prosecution.
Warrants are ad hoc devices. You don’t get to serve a warrant and then just start looking for things unrelated to the original investigation.
Yes - tell your Hillary friends it’s Nov 9th!
And tell the REST of Trump leaners/voters - vote on NOV 8TH!
Got it.
I have no worries about this. The case is too high profile and out in the public. They will get what they need. And with people in the FBI in near revolt, they will have to do something this time.
Isn’t a warrant only needed if access to search is refused? Mr. Wiener handed over his laptop and gave permission for the FBI to search.
