Yesterday, we reported that the FBI has found "tens of thousands of emails" belonging to Huma Adein on Anthony Weiner's computer, raising questions how practical it is that any conclusive finding will be available or made by the FBI in the few days left before the elections

Now, according to the WSJ, it appears that Federal agents are preparing to scour roughly 650,000 emails that, as we reported moments ago were discovered weeks ago on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, to see how many relate to a prior probe of Hillary Clinton’s email use, as metadata on the device suggests there may be thousands sent to or from the private server that the Democratic nominee used while she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the matter.

As the WSJ adds, the review will take weeks at a minimum to determine whether those messages are work-related emails between Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide and the estranged wife of Mr. Weiner, and State Department officials; how many are duplicates of emails already reviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and whether they include either classified information or important new evidence in the Clinton email probe, which FBI officials call “Midyear.”

And, as we further reported earlier today, the FBI has had to await a court order to begin reviewing the emails, because they were uncovered in an unrelated probe of Mr. Weiner, and that order was delayed for reasons that remain unclear.

More stunning is just how many emails were found on Weiner's computer. And while one can only imagine

So it is still possible that the Beast from Planet Clintoonie could be “perp walked” out of the Oval Office. Damn, that would be something to see. Cuffs and an orange jumpsuit with “Inmate” across the back.

BREAKING: FBI Notes Reveal Security Concerns Over Huma Abedin

1. Huma Abedin was in charge of setting up Clinton's private server. But she told the FBI that she had no knowledge of Clinton's server until it became public.

2. Huma Abedin had an email account on the illegal Clinton private server, huma@clintonemail.com. Abedin was the only State Department aide whose emails were hosted by the private Clinton server but Abedin told the FBI that she didn’t know the server existed until she heard about it in the news.

3. FBI agents showed Abedin three separate email exchanges she had with an IT staffer regarding the operation of the private Clinton server during Clinton’s tenure at State. Abedin claimed she “did not recall” the email exchanges.

4. Many State Department employees told the FBI that they considered emailing Abedin “the equivalent of e-mailing Clinton.” Abedin, in turn, “routinely” forwarded State government emails — including ones containing classified information — from her state.gov account to either her clintonemail.com or her Yahoo.com account “so that she could print them” at her home.

5. Hillary Clinton required emails to be printed out for her to read.

6. Another Clinton aide told the FBI that “Abedin may have kept emails that Clinton did not.”

7. Abedin appears to have violated a Classified Information Non Disclosure Agreement she signed at the State Department on Jan. 30, 2009, in which she agreed to keep all classified material under the control of the US government.

8. The FBI never searched Abedin’s laptop or Yahoo email account at any point in their year-long investigation into possible mishandling of classified information and espionage. There is no possible explanation for why this was not done.

9. Huma Abedin clearly lied repeatedly to the FBI. This is a felony. Yet, the FBI never followed up on any of these obvious lies.

10. Emails that Clinton had illegally deleted are supposedly found on Anthony Weiner's computer.

Sneaky little muslim isn't she?

At what point can/does the FBI bill HRC for $5+ million in clerical time sorting through these gems?

News of Weiner’s cooperation changes things but still a good exposition of the issue.

Huma Abedin is a muslim....

Remember from her perspective it is okay to lie to the infidels.
