Report: FBI checked less than half a percent of emails on Weiner laptop

The FBI examined just 3,077 of the 694,000 emails found on a laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner which was used by his wife Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, a report said.

Despite then-FBI Director James Comey’s insistence that the agency had “reviewed all of the communications” discovered on the laptop, less than one half of one percent of the emails were directly reviewed for classified or incriminating information, RealClear Investigations reported on Aug. 23.

A career FBI special agent involved in the case complained to New York colleagues that officials in Washington tried to “bury” what may have been on Weiner’s laptop, which the agent believed contained the full archive of Clinton’s emails – including long-sought missing messages from her first months at the State Department, the report said.

Yeah, right. And I’m the Pope.

Of course they did. They are run by deep staters who want to control the people of the United States. Can we even trust the departments of the federal government anymore?

In the mid 60s I had the occasion to attend a National Geographic lecture by Dr. Harold Edgerton, inventor of the strobe light and executer of many other fine things. The subject of his lecture was some work he had done with on underwater photography with & for Jacques Cousteau. I don’t remember the specific subject he was discussing at that point, but he said, “Don’t take too much data. You will find out something you don’t want to know.”

He was being factious, but it is clear that the FBI is working with their corollary, “Don’t study too much evidence. You will discover something you don’t want to know.”

Who established the compter word search parameters?

probably the same people now writing the exclusion algorithms at Facebook.

Kudos for your prsentations on Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Two of the most despicable government actions in the entire history of the nation.

George H.W. Bush, William Sessions, William Barr, Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, Lon Horiuchi and so many others should have faced the death penalty for these murders, or at least spent the last 25 years rotting away in a federal penitentiary.

Well, print those suckers out and divvy them up among us FReepers and other patriots. I’m sure that by the end of a month a good synopsis could be presented.

1932: Little Bohemia Lodge, Wisconsin.

The Feds heard the John Dillinger Gang was holed up at a Wisconsin Fishing Lodge.

They wanted to be big heroes, didn’t inform local law enforcement, who knew the Lodge well.

They busted in with their .45 cal, fully-automatic Tommy Guns, shooting up the place, killing two civilians with their Al Capone-style machine guns.

Hey, at least they arrested the gang, right..? Nope..!

Some got away, clean.

Whoops..! They ALL got away —there was a back exit the Feds didn’t know about.

Room service, anyone..?!

The Tommy Gun was made by Thompson, invented in 1918.

This weapon was favored both by Law Enforcement and by gangsters, but why fuss, especially THESE days..?

Fed by 20 or 30-round stick mags, a 50-round drum was also available for the Thompson.

Just hold down the trigger and hose the muzzle around..! In a hotel..?! SURE...!

Hey, there COULD be a bad guy on the other side of that bathroom wall, riiiiight..?

How about some air-conditioning for that balconey, eh? You gotta BADGE...!

The shootout at the Bohemia Lodge was a very early-era Ruby Ridge or Mandalay Bay Massacre, you might say, though the Feds were able to almost totally hush it up.

“Feds are shining HEROES” = TOTAL B.S.

The photos you just saw are of the era when the FBI was much more law-abiding than they are NOW.

Look what I just found:
(If true then the FBI no longer has the laptop)

Recovering the Laptop

A final mystery remains: Where is the Weiner laptop today?

The whistleblower agent in New York said that he was “instructed” by superiors to delete the image of the laptop hard drive he had copied onto his work station, and to “wipe” all of the Clinton-related emails clean from his computer.

But he said he believes the FBI “retained” possession of the actual machine, and that the evidence on the device was preserved.

The last reported whereabouts of the laptop was the Quantico lab. However, the unusually restrictive search warrant Strzok and his team drafted appeared to remand the laptop back into the custody of Abedin and Weiner upon the closing of the case.

“If the government determines that the subject laptop is no longer necessary to retrieve and preserve the data on the device,” the document states on its final page, “the government will return the subject laptop.”

Wherever its location, somewhere out there is a treasure trove of evidence involving potentially serious federal crimes — including espionage, foreign influence-peddling and obstruction of justice — that has never been properly or fully examined by law enforcement authorities.
