FBI racing to sift through Clinton emails before Election Day
NY POST ^ | October 30, 2016 | Jamie Schram, Daniel Halper

The FBI got a warrant to search Anthony Weiner’s laptop for new evidence in the Hillary Clinton email scandal, setting off a mad dash to try and finish the massive job before Election Day, law-enforcement sources told The Post Sunday.

Weiner shared the laptop computer with his now-estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and the feds believe there are around 650,000 emails stored on it, with many from Abedin’s accounts, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“FBI agents are reviewing the emails as we speak,” one source told The Post.

Metadata found on Weiner’s laptop computer — seized as part of an investigation into his explicit, online relationship with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina — suggest it may hold thousands of emails sent to or from Clinton’s private server, sources said.

It was unclear how long the search would take, but an official briefed on the matter told The Post that the job would extend past Nov. 8, when the vast majority of Americans go to the polls.

“There are too many emails to sift through before the end of the election and that is why [the Department of Justice] was cautioning [FBI Director James Comey not to make the announcement,” the official said.

“The FBI won’t be able to look through them all and now they risk looking political.

“Many of these emails appear to be redundant. That’s to say that since Huma was on Hillary’s staff, she was apparently copied on a lot of them.Now will all of them be redundant? No, that won’t be the case for all of them,” the official added.

Agents have probable cause to search only those that relate to the Clinton probe, and they’re only expected to seize a portion of the huge cache, a law-enforcement source told The Post.

I put the text of section 2071 up as a stand-alone thread about a week ago. Roughly half of the Freepers who commented, argued that it doesn’t apply to Hillary, and that the law can’t bar her from holding office.

SMH...

“She’s done. Donald Trump is so sure of it, he said yesterday that he’ll be focusing on his positive plan for our country this week instead of the negative crimes of Hillary.”

That’s probably the right tack for Trump himself to take, but his surrogates need to talk of nothing BUT Hillary’s email investigation until election day.

They can’t let up until she surrenders, or is beaten at the polls. As long as she’s still twitching, she’s a danger to the republic.

Give them to the folks on The_Donald subreddit over at Reddit.com. They will have those 665,000 emails sorted out by sundown!

Weaponized autism can do that for you.

Blitzer at 6 pm argued with congressman Collins from western NY - asking him how he KNOWS Abedin shared a computer with her husband and that Abedin wouldn’t have to have put those emails on that computer. He was assured by someone with knowledge of computers that Abedin’s emails could have ended up on Weiner’s computer without her knowledge and besides that - who said there are 650,000 of them? Wolf’s going to go down swinging, I guess. I think he ran out of stupid questions even tho’ he held him over after the break and still didn’t get anywhere..

There are a couple of Freepers that could have them sortable and searchable in a couple of hours.

Probably already have the background checks ... maybe the requisite Clearance ... Swear them in and turn them loose...

Or just wait until they are Public and it will get done without all the paperwork and let the public do the rest.
