FBI Obtains Warrant for Newly Discovered Emails in Clinton Probe
NBC News ^

Posted on 10/30/2016 3:22:48 PM PDT by springwater13

The FBI obtained a warrant to search emails related to the Hillary Clinton private server probe that were discovered on ex-congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop, law enforcement officials confirmed Sunday.

The warrant came two days after FBI director James Comey revealed the existence of the emails, which law-enforcement sources said were linked to Weiner's estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

The FBI already had a warrant to search Weiner's laptop, but that only applied to evidence of his allegedly illicit communications with an underage girl.

Who issued the warrant?

A federal judge. Now I am just speculating this was done in NY and DOJ / Lynch were not in that loop.

True enough, but not in my memory has voter fraud been subjected to so much scrutiny. Trump’s exposure of it constantly may hopefully curtail it.

Yes being a ruse would make no sense.

Then someone from the FBI will show up at the NYPD and say All of your copies of the emails belong to us. Hand them over.

Right. And then the NYPD guy who turns over those files picks up a wad of steel wool and scrubs his computer down.

How 'effing stupid do you think these people are?

It is my understanding that there has to be significant evidence to issue a warrant. But.......I am not a lawyer.

They have been overuled

They had been over-ruled. Given the rumors of mass resignations the cover-up was about to become uncovered. Lynch/Comey were facing the world's biggest whistleblower case - and against experienced FBI agents and DOJ attorneys [and these guys are among the best there are].

650,000 emails = Weiner and Huma “talking shop” about Democrat illegality for years.

I can’t imagine whatever marital priveledge might exist would extend to third parties.

Perhaps. With all the resources, connections, corruption, the only thing retarding their progress has been their stupidity. Not anything that anyone else in politics was fighting them with has worked (except perhaps for TRUMP and this election TBD). The only way they will go down on this particular thing though is from their own stupidity. I agree it could happen. We’ll see.

The FBI pulls some BS like that and says there is nothing there, they’ll look dumber and more corrupt than they do now...THEY DO NOT WANT THAT!!!!

There is something to this reopening of the Clinton case....

“...after Comey closes the case again, that it’s old news and the FBI cleared her AGAIN.”

That is professional suicide for Comey and will destroy the FBI. Not a chance. He has something of historical magnitude, he knows that already. He has to have that or he is in tremendous jeopardy himself. He couldn’t take this step without knowing he can deliver.

Just reposted what I saw on another Tweet. There does appear to be tangential evidence. Who knows?

I have thought DT had something, but no idea what it is. If he knew about this, it would make sense he would keep it quiet, because if true, it would be almost as hard on anyone who releases it as on Cankles.

You think Comey and Lynch actually have control of this? I think they have totally lost control. Too many leaks...

Yep. This one just blew sky high and only God knows where the pieces are going to fall. If Her Heinous's staff could have kept the lid on it for another two and a half months they'd have skated.

It will be amusing to observe which of her media allies will be the first to defect. Sharks can't help it in a feeding frenzy.

I can envision a scenario that has Comey addressing the media on Wednesday, saying “We have looked at the emails that were of concern and found that there’s nothing to investigate. Case Closed”.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

That’s probably the worst thing he could do — even if it’s true. Nobody will believe him.


No doubt.

I do believe Comey acted on Friday from “Internal Pressure” but may act later this week from “External Pressure”.

BTW, I posted on Friday that the best thing the FBI/Comey could do (for Trump) was NOT say anything more than what was in his letter.

Let the Media/Internet/WikiLeaks etc etc explode with speculation and rumors and this is exactly what is happening. Also, the Clinton camp knows that it will be the speculation that will kill them and has called for the FBI to release any information they have.

I’m not convinced of anything concrete against HRC et el, and I don’t trust Comey, the FBI, the DOJ, the WH, the Media and even WikiLeaks.

GO Trump !!!!!!!

At this point, who knows what will happen. If it were anyone else and indictment would happen pretty quickly.

I agree with that. Don't get me wrong on that. But, I'm saying the way it goes from here will be Obama DOJ whitewash, unless the stupidity of the Clinton Inc. catches up with them again. That's all I'm saying really. Warrant issued was something DOJ wants, as they need to be selective as to new information they can reeal (positive for Hillary), and control narrative
