FBI To Scour Through 650,000 Emails Found On Weiner's Laptop
ZeroHedge ^ | October 30, 2016

Posted on 10/30/2016 12:47:07 PM PDT by Zakeet

Yesterday, we reported that the FBI has found "tens of thousands of emails" belonging to Huma Adein on Anthony Weiner's computer, raising questions how practical it is that any conclusive finding will be available or made by the FBI in the few days left before the elections

Now, according to the WSJ, it appears that Federal agents are preparing to scour roughly 650,000 emails that, as we reported moments ago were discovered weeks ago on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, to see how many relate to a prior probe of Hillary Clinton’s email use, as metadata on the device suggests there may be thousands sent to or from the private server that the Democratic nominee used while she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the matter.

As the WSJ adds, the review will take weeks at a minimum to determine whether those messages are work-related emails between Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide and the estranged wife of Mr. Weiner, and State Department officials; how many are duplicates of emails already reviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and whether they include either classified information or important new evidence in the Clinton email probe, which FBI officials call "Midyear."

And, as we further reported earlier today, the FBI has had to await a court order to begin reviewing the emails, because they were uncovered in an unrelated probe of Mr. Weiner, and that order was delayed for reasons that remain unclear.

The punchline: the months of upcoming work means that if Clinton wins the White House, she will likely do so amid at least one ongoing investigation into her inner circle being handled by law-enforcement officials who are deeply divided over how to manage such cases. It also means that Trump will be hounding HIllary for the remainder of the campaign as being the only presidential candidate to seek election with a recently reopened criminal probe hanging over her head.

Even a worse thought, if she wins, gets impeached, Kaine would be President.

On second thought, don’t file charges until Trump is inaugurated. No Obama pardon :)

Interesting how Zero Hedge and WND are free-loading off the Wall Street Journal today. I never noticed it before.

Where does someone get the time to generate 650k of emails?

Trump needs to say something like, “For those of you who are sick of this sordid election cycle, please consider that if Hillary wins, it will never end. It will just keep going, crime after crime, scandal after scandal, for four more years.”

I can’t imagine he wants that stink added to his already steaming heap of a legacy. I think Huma is in negotiations on how hard her fall is, and what sort of backend is expected from Clinton inc.

I’m sure wikileaks could pass them around for a pretty quick sorting process.

If this mail client was synced to Hillary’s server it would have every email sent to, and from Huma. I am sure there are tons of cc’s, and bcc’ some.

Huma was Hillary’s closest advisor. For Hillary to function on that scale, Huma needed full access to everything.

Maybe it will contain the email with the flight coordinates for the Extortion 17 to one of her MB contacts on it.

You can’t just apply logic and skill to the problem. This is the government after all!

650k makes me think that Huma did a download.

She was not just forwarding email to print.

What was the name of the folder? Life insurance?

If Anthony Weiner used UNIX, this is what his command line history would look like:

who | grep -i blonde | date; cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger; mount; fsck; gasp; yes; uptime; umount; make clean; sleep
