(That is, while he would have preferred to have just had them read immediately to figure out whether they contained anything potentially incriminating, he legally could not do so.) I think odds are that these are emails that Abedin had already turned over to the FBI (same emails showing up again here is simply the outcome of Abedin accessing the same email account from various different devices).

Again, that's all lightly informed supposition and speculation.

I'm trying to give Comey the benefit of the doubt, but it's looking like a really bad decision to send that letter to Congress.
