FBI finds emails related to Hillary Clinton's State Department tenure

The FBI has found emails related to Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state on the laptop belonging to the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, according to a U.S. official.

These emails, CBS News’ Andres Triay reports, are not duplicates of emails found on Secretary Clinton’s private server. At this point, however, it remains to be seen whether these emails are significant to the FBI’s investigation into Clinton. It is also not known how many relevant emails there are.

In a letter to Congress last Friday, FBI Director James Comey indicated that the agency was taking steps to review newly discovered emails relating to Clinton’s private email server. Those emails came from the laptop of Weiner, a former New York congressman. Abedin reportedly said she had no knowledge of the existence of any of her emails on Weiner’s laptop. On Monday, CBS News reported that the FBI had obtained a warrant for the emails.

In a separate matter, CBS News confirmed that there were disagreements between FBI agents looking into the Clinton Foundation and their superiors in Washington and at the Department of Justice. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the FBI was facing an “internal feud” over how to handle the Clinton Foundation case in the middle of election season. Officials say tension like this is common in many cases.

It is still unclear whether the FBI inquiry into the Clinton Foundation was a full-blown investigation. The current status of that inquiry is also unclear. However, no known charges have been filed related to the foundation.

Get the FBI Electronic/Mail Fraud unit on this....b/c the foundation solicited money for one purpose then used it for another purpose.....and Podesta knew it.

In any court of law, that is considered electronic/mail fraud.

ITEM.....when Huma exited the State Dept, she was required to signoff on form OF-109....a separation agreement that states she understands when leaving the US government that she is maintaining no classified information. That she understands her legal obligation to protect further classified information and safeguard any potential disclosures......

==========================================

ITEM---Two special agents of the FBI interviewed Abedin on April 5 noted the details in the summary of their interview, which took place at the FBI’s Washington field office and, notably, was attended by the chief of the FBI’s counterespionage section.

ITEM-----On page 3 of the FBI's 11-page report, federal agents detail how a classified paper on Pakistan, sent from a State Department source, that Abedin inexplicably forwarded to her personal Yahoo email account..... an obviously unclassified, unencrypted, unsecured and unauthorized system. Not an isolated event, but a common practice with Abedin. “She routinely forwarded emails from her state.gov account to either her clintonemail.com or her yahoo.com account,” the agents wrote. Why? “So she could print them” at home and not at her State Department office.

========================================

ITEM----- The cover story the Hillary team concocted.....Huma was only forwarding the emails home so she could print them, b/c Hillary wanted it that way, even though it's illegal.

ITEM----Tens of thousands of classified emails are housed, not only on Hillary's secret basement server, but at Huma’s home as well..... on devices held by Huma's unemployed husband.

ITEM----Investigating his sexting, the FBI found thousands of classified emails on Anthony's devices. Abedin’s sex-obsessed husband, Anthony Weiner, liked to brag of how easy it is to earn big money in private-sector consulting. Yeah sure......if you're selling US ntl security secrets.

===========================================

This underlines Judiciary Chair Sen Grassley's point that Huma Abedin may have been collecting political intelligence gleaned from unsuspecting State Dept officials that was then sold..... for a price.

Recall that Huma was a govt employee at the State Dept. Then Hillary facilitated Huma having several other jobs simultaneously. (a) Huma working for Teneo....the powerhouse company that is purported to be the vehicle foreign entities use to get access to the Clintons. (b) Clinton Foundation employee. (c) State Dept employee.

Sen Grassley wrote in a June 13, 2015 letter: It appears that one of Abedin’s clients, the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies, may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from US government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence.

This raises important questions about whether Abedin’s dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.

Grassley’s letter recounted in detail:

<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved her employer, Teneo's head Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting Bill Clinton;

<><> one email exchange involved Teneo’s Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, “donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation,” Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.

<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin’s travel to and from New York.

<><> multiple allegations received by Sen Grassley’s Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have been paid $33,000 in taxpayer money while on leave. Huma later said her husband handled the couple's finances, so she did not know she had been paid the $33,000.
