So what’s going on here?!?!
I’m confused as hell!!
Hillary’s people are acting indignant for voters: “Clinton Camp: Comey Owes the Public Answers”
while the Justice Department does all it can to prevent the FBI from giving the public answers
and Hillary and Human help one another pass bricks in the lavatory.
So it’s the usual claptrap from Google-eyed Gal Clinton and the `rats.
It’s relatively simple. The NYPD/FBI seized the computer in conjunction with the sexting scandal. While going through the computer, they (NYPD/FBI) started seeing emails from either Hillary to Huma or Huma to Huma (for the purpose of printing hard copies).
Since the original search warrant only covered emails related to the sexting case, the new emails technically cannot be read (no exigent circumstances) unless a search warrant covering the emails is obtained.
One could argue “inevitable discovery” but a search warrant would be better and would have the power of the court behind it (probable cause).
DOJ would be involved as they actually draft the search warrant for the FBI and I assume they were brought into the picture as soon as the new emails surfaced.
I think this isn’t a case of obstruction as much as a situation of how to proceed to make sure the new emails are admissible if there is ever a criminal proceeding.
It’s like a cop stopping someone for speeding and asks to look in the trunk. The driver opens the trunk and the cop discovers a dead body. Illegal search, body not admissible and unless there is independent evidence that ties the driver to the murder NOT DEVELOPED FROM THE DISCOVERY OF THE BODY, the driver walks.
The only exception is if the “fruits” of the crime are in plain view and since this is a sexting investigation any email with a header of Huma Abedin or Hillary Clinton would be outside the scope of the original search warrant.
Make sense now?
