The Justice Department and the FBI are in discussions with lawyers for Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin to secure approval that would allow the FBI to conduct a full search of her newly discovered emails, sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.

Authorities have not yet sought a search warrant for the emails, law enforcement sources told CNN. Government lawyers hope to secure a search warrant to permit investigators to review thousands of emails on a computer Abedin shared with her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, officials said. The new search warrant is needed because the existing authorization, covered by a subpoena, related only to the ongoing investigation of Weiner, who is accused of having sexually explicit communications with an underage girl. Investigators from the FBI's New York field office who are conducting the Weiner investigation stumbled on the Abedin emails while they were reviewing emails and other communications on the computer, which was considered to belong to Weiner, the officials said. They stopped their work and called in the team of investigators from FBI headquarters who conducted the probe of Clinton's private email server.

So if Huma is being cooperative, it could be the real target is actually Hillary

[glorgau]

Permit?

[deadrock]

She has flipped then.

Hey,Humma....you'd better follow the instructions you're getting from you-know-who.The Foster family would surely agree with me on that.

[thesharkboy]

Why are they negotiating with a suspect for evidence they already have in their possession? More corruption. More lies. More cover-up.

[originalbuckeye]

Trying to salvage her life in exchange for the truth about Hillary?

DISCUSSIONS?? OMG....look out....Justice will be SCREWED AGAIN!! We are in a Banana Republic.

[HereInTheHeartland]

The wheels on Hillarys prison bus go round and round, round and round. ..

“Have not yet requested a search warrant”?

WTH? Imagine if that was you or me, folks..

[Engedi]

Oh boy, what if she gets immunity for nothing in return. You know like Cheryl and Heather.

[2ndDivisionVet]

So if the police have something incriminating on my phone, I don't have to let them see it? Preposterous!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Enough with this consent to search crap! Get the warrant now. If politically appointed federal prosecutors won’t sign off on it then publicly shame them with the facts.

[Ann Archy]

Get Real....HUMA is up to her EYEBALLS in SPYING...she is Hilliary;s LOVER, and she would DIE for her.

[JediJones]

They’ll just give immunity to Huma, Hillary, Cheryl Mills, and everyone else. Then they’ll get to the bottom of this.

[Brilliant]

I see another immunity deal being hatched.

[tennmountainman]

More immunity for Huma.

Hopefully the NYPD has a backup of Huma’s computer to keep the FBI
and Justice Department honest.

[Piranha]

Give immunity to Carlos Danger and you can access the computer. No need to negotiate with Huma.

[McBuff]

Asking??!! THEY SHOULD BE TELLING!!! NOT ASKING. ..
