Is the Abedin/Weiner Laptop the Last of It?

Tip of the iceberg.

Look for a connection between the Clinton’s and Weiner related to the child trafficking issue in question. Highly suspicious activities in that arena.

This could be the election where the nexus of the education, entertainment, and financial establishments will suffer the same fate as did the old Northeastern Ivy League ascendancy with the election of FDR and the New Deal. Hillary Clinton and her associates are the equivalents of the 1920s Republican elite of 85 years ago. Indeed they are the spiritual descendants of the New Deal brain trust, the original liberal elite.

Abedin inadvertently provided the lose thread that will unravel the Clinton crime cabal.

It may expose lots of things, including many forms of criminal behavior, but don’t underestimate the cleverness of the apparatchiks and bureaucrats in DC. They are circling the wagons to protect their own interests. They live for politics and are experts at manipulating the process. The working agents pursuing the case are in many respects over matched and out gunned.

Just trying to keep it real.

I had the same discussion with a friend of mine, I kid you not he said that what she did is not any worse than slavery, and no one was punished for that.

[Arlis]

The dumbed down liberal voters are totally convinced none of the email stuff is true and it is all drummed-up political lies from the right.......

Of course, this is the media song - and the only thing they know.........

FYI: Under U.S. federal common law, the spousal testimonial privilege is held by the witness-spouse, not the party-spouse, and therefore does not prevent a spouse who wishes to testify from doing so.

Do you think Wiener will clam up or take a plea deal on his "Sexting" an underage female to save his butt? I do!

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Great analysis. Personally, I think the most important hierarchy in society is that based on whether you try to live morally, do good things, and are unselfish. Those criteria have obviously lost importance in our nations politics, and this has been abundantly evident for quite awhile now.

In the past journalists did real investigative reporting. Now that’s almost a lost art with journalists becoming paid toadies. It’s the internet and the proletariat that is ever watching via the internet that has the ability to investigate and disseminate to expose.

[Delmarksman]

I think that he was on the Kelly Files last night and he did have a lot to say.

[Starboard]

I appreciate what you’re saying but the powers that be are very devious and they have allies in the media who do their bidding. We can watch and we can expose, but they are good a defusing things. People like this can take a clear case grand larceny and make it look look like petty shoplifting.
The point is, they are very, very good at damage control.

They manipulate perceptions and adroitly manage the public’s perception of things all with the help of a compliant media. In fact, they enjoy playing their little games.

Many of these articles refer to ‘a’ laptop or ‘the’ laptop.

In some recently threads, some posters indicated that there are 3 laptops and a thumb drive that were taken from the Weiner residence.

If several of those had emails/government documents, that would ruin Huma’s claim that she didn’t know how they got there. Apparently, many of them got there via Huma’s Yahoo email account.

That also muddles her claim that she had to print them at home because she didn’t know how to use the ‘work’ printer.

==

The number of emails/documents did jump drastically from tens of thousands to over 600,000.

==

So, now that Huma has been relegated to the position ‘staffer’, how will that impact the rumor of several weeks ago that she might be appointed Secretary of State in a Clinton presidency?

O what a tangled web ...

I wish I can say that you were wrong. I can’t.

I agree. Too many known crooks have been reelected over the years to think it can sink you in and of itself. If you are a lovable rogue you can get away with things.

[xp38]

That said I don’t think H fits the lovable rogue category.

[Jack Hammer]

No.

[Jumper]

The NSA will now get involved and find their version of the metadata that transited State via Network or Modem/phone line internet & the People/Server involved. Look for major spy breach to be taught in the History books.

[randita]

The number of emails/documents did jump drastically from tens of thousands to over 600,000.

Printing that many documents for Clinton to read would require a truckload of copy paper delivered to the Weiner residence on a weekly basis. Weak excuse by Huma. As weak as, "I don't know how those emails got on Weiner's computer."

[randita]

Likely the end game. NSA/MIL/CIA knew that Obama knew that Clinton was operating an insecure server (heck, he actually exchanged emails with her on it) and as far as we know at this point, Obama did NOTHING to stop her. As CIC, he either took national security extremely lightly or he was complicit in compromising it. Add Lynch to that mix as well.
