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.

“650,000 emails...? Don’t these people ever talk on the phone?”

My theory is that Huma kept her own backup of every email sent and received from HRC’s private server, and that that backup was kept on Weiner’s laptop, which she would not have turned over during the Judicial Watch case or FBI investigations, and which never would have been looked at had Anthony Weiner not turned out to be such a freak. It would make sense that that would be hundreds of thousands of emails.

So who keeps 650k emails on their pc?

Who would actually set aside space on their drive to hold that many emails?

I think most people just leave their undeleted emails that they may want to keep on whoever’s server hosts their offsite email.

I sure don’t actually download any of them to a folder on my pc.

So why were they there? I would think that 650k emails would take up the greater portion of any available space on a device.

Theories-

Huma is a spy and was transferring classified data to her people.

The emails are being used to blackmail.

The emails are there as proof against them being blackmailed by the Clinton crime family.

Sounds like a purposeful, long term, covert spy operation by Huma to suck in as many emails as possible from multiples sources. Probably then to pass on to MB contacts.

“650k makes me think that Huma did a download.”

That's what I think: Huma either did a download, or had an ongoing (SECRET) backup of HRC’s server so she could keep copies of every email, including deleted ones.

True! What a bunch of techno-dumbshits these people are!

It’s going to take months to go thru all the emails but it matters not - the damage was done the instant Comey put out his letter. The LIVs are going hear as I did this morning on their favorite lite rock station while driving the kiddies to school or in their commute:

“Hillary Clinton’s 12 point lead one week ago is gone as the race for President is all tied-up after the FBI re-opened it’s investigation into Hillary’s emails based on on new information”.

Kaboom!

That’s what is incredible, this could be the true treasure trove of all HRC relevant State Dept AND Clinton Foundation emails (and years after the State Dept), because Huma was truly both her right hand and left hand, doing just about everything for her. State Dept officials said repeatedly in FBI interviews that they considered an email to Huma as sharing with Hillary. If this is Huma’s total email account from the State Dept, and it sounds like it is, then it should have just about everything related to Shrillary.

Saying "emails on Weiner's laptop" is ambiguous.

It could be shorthand for "emails we can access through Weiner's accounts which we learned about by examining his laptop."

Do we really know that they actually are on his hard drive and not on the server?

Nice thing about these “work” sites is you can break tasks up into small bites and post them. Anybody can pull a task down, work on it, and post the work back to the site. It avoids people doing the same task twice. The better systems also randomly include test questions to see if you are doing good work - if you fail them, you’re booted from the job.

In the meantime maybe Wikileaks will come through to the American People with the information. I’m sure those emails may have also been in his custody??
