The FBI stumbled upon a trove of emails from one of Hillary Clinton's top aides weeks ago, law enforcement officials told CNN Sunday.
But FBI Director James Comey didn't disclose the discovery until Friday, raising questions about why the information was kept under wraps and then released only days before the election.
The timeline behind the discovery of the emails came into greater clarity Sunday. Investigators took possession of multiple computers related to the inquiry of Anthony Weiner in early October, U.S. law enforcement officials said. Weiner is Abedin's estranged husband and is being probed about alleged sexting with a purportedly underage girl.
Technical experts at the FBI began procedures to catalogue the emails found on one of the computers and soon found emails belonging to Abedin. The discovery surprised investigators, triggering legal issues because the search warrant was limited to the sexting case. That's why the Justice Department sought the new search warrant.
Senior officials at the FBI, including Andrew McCabe, the FBI deputy director, were briefed on the issue. By mid-October, Comey learned investigators in the Weiner case might have found something that could have an impact on the now-closed probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server, according to one law enforcement official. Comey was told investigators were still trying to figure out how many emails existed and their pertinence to the Clinton probe. Senior Justice Department officials were briefed on the situation about a week ago and Comey was given a full briefing Thursday, the officials said, triggering his decision to notify members of Congress Friday that the FBI was reviewing emails potentially related to Clinton's server.

who investigates the FBI for corruption, treason, racketeering?
So true.
Trump is accused and the media look at Trump nand report as if he has done it.
Clinton has broken numerous laws, we have seen emails stating how they have paid agitators, how she has to have a private, and a public position, i.e. she lies to the public, and the media report who is reporting on the Clintons.
Hopefully they still peeked so they have an idea of where to focus with the new warrant....
A dinghy or maybe even a barbed wire canoe!
Wonderful.
We need all the prayer we can get. I have been praying about this for a couple of years. Not praying specifically for Trump to get elected - he wasn’t even on the radar when I started. I figure God knows better than I do, but I’m definitely voting Trump. I am praying that God will remove the corrupt from leadership positions in politics, in business, wherever. He knows who is corrupt far better than I do. (I’m thinking Hitlery, 0vomit, Reid, Pelosi, Lynch, Holder, and so many others. I’m sure there are plenty of corruptocrats whose names I’ve never even heard.) I’m happy to leave the specifics in His hands.
I figure my job is to pray and then to act as best I can (vote Trump, educate others as to the facts, etc.).
It leaked out Lynch was blocking it.
Some demons will not depart without fasting as well, according to Sacred Scripture. The Church prescribes fasting as one meal per day, plus 2 small snacks for laborers. Accordingly, those of us who are not labor adapt proportionately to our habits.
I heard on Fox today that the emails date back 4/5 years.
If that’s the case, then presumably we likely won’t see any effort of an email deletion cover up?
If its classified stuff, then on that basis alone we also won’t see any prosecution, as that was already revealed in the original investigation.
So to my mind, if something is incriminating there, it is going in another direction? Or am I mistaken in my reading of the situation?
And for the record I want that evil witch locked up.
