Frankly, I wouldn't even want to touch his laptop, but that's beside the point.

Quote:When then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was closing the Hillary Clinton email investigation for a second time just days before the 2016 election, he certified to Congress that his agency had “reviewed all of the communications” discovered on a personal laptop used by Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, Anthony Weiner.

At the time, many wondered how investigators managed over the course of one week to read the “hundreds of thousands” of emails residing on the machine, which had been a focus of a sex-crimes investigation of Weiner, a former Congressman.

Comey later told Congress that “thanks to the wizardry of our technology,” the FBI was able to eliminate the vast majority of messages as “duplicates” of emails they’d previously seen. Tireless agents, he claimed, then worked “night after night after night” to scrutinize the remaining material.

But virtually none of his account was true, a growing body of evidence reveals.

You guys need to read this story in full. It's explosive. Mach might even buckle up.

This is the big one Elizabeth.

Quote:Far from investigating and clearing Abedin and Weiner, the FBI did not interview them, according to other FBI sources who say Comey closed the case prematurely. The machine was not authorized for classified material, and Weiner did not have classified security clearance to receive such information, which he did on at least two occasions through his Yahoo! email account – which he also used to email snapshots of his *****.

Quote:By Oct. 4, the Weiner case agent had finished processing the laptop, and reported that he found at least 675,000 emails potentially relevant to the Midyear case (in fact, the final count was 694,000). “Based on the number of emails, we could have every email that Huma and Hillary ever sent each other,” the agent remarked to colleagues. It appeared this was the mother lode of missing Clinton emails. But Strzok remained uninterested. “This isn’t a ticking terrorist bomb,” he was quoted as saying in the recently issued inspector general’s report. Besides, he had bigger concerns, such as, “You know, is the government of Russian trying to get somebody elected here in the United States?”

Disgusting.

It seems that every week we learn something new about this entire fiasco, and it's always damaging to the FBI. Anyone wonder why they've been kicking and screaming and dragging their feet turning over documents? I didn't think so.

weiner lacked security clearance to view classified material ...

AMONG THE MISSING

And the dims are still too stupid or insidious to care. This whole thing, all the scandals and plots in their totality, is stuff from a freakin spy novel being played out in real life.

Edit: Oh, and what a well written and informative piece, thanks for posting, good find.

It's a very well-written piece. Everyone should read it in its entirety.

Hate to say it, but the FBI screws up a bunch of this type of stuff. Computer forensics in this country isn't as good as it should be.

The “big one” was the night of 08 November 2016.

The noose is growing tighter, the gallows being assembled.

Bigly.

Likely time to buckle up!

Particularly when they want to screw up.

Yep. The fix was always in.

Indeed, not reviewing thousands of email had nothing to do with computer forensics and everything to do with wanting to bury the problem.

At one point in the article it comments about how many were amazed that within just a few days of announcing they'd found a gazillion more Cankle emails, the FBI had suddenly, supposedly, reviewed all them and found no problems. I was one who scratched his bald head.

Turns out we were right to wonder how they managed to review the gazillion emails. They didn't.

Quote:And the dims are still too stupid or insidious to care.

This story (the FBI shelving the Cankles investigation to investigate Trump and Russian collusion) is easily the biggest political story and scandal of this century. There is no stupidity involved on the part of anyone who participated, continues to try to cover it up, or just ignores it and hopes it goes away.
