By hacking the FBI or NSA to get Clinton's emails and then planted them on Wiener's computer.
I mean why after all the time of the Clinton Email server thing did the FBI not to think to check Wiener's computer. Why 11 days before the election they decide to do this?
Now that is just one probably way they influenced this election. The completely obvious was the paid trolls and fake news. I am sure the Russians had other under handed things at play.
Either way, the certification of the election results should be halted until we find out how much the Russians influenced it and how many people in orange man's circle were involved.
Seriously, many Americans have already lost faith in our election system. That's one, and the big reason they don't vote. Because we are a democracy it is vital that the citizens both vote and have confidence in their vote and in their government. Otherwise there will no longer be a democracy.
This election was already ugly and negative and really tested the confidence of it's citizens. To many things are not right with the results. If there is not some type of investigation more people will lose confidence in the election system and government and opt not to take part. And we know how the out come of that will end.

(6,363 posts)...I'm not sure that the FBI ever really went looking for Clinton emails on Weiner's computer. IIRC, they were found during the routine data dump of his hard drive (isn't that just such a fitting term in this case) as part of his sexting with a 13 year old. Then they hit pay dirt and the NY Field Office couldn't wait to do their "patriotic duty".
Everything is revisionist history now but one has to wonder if (and how) we got f'ed because a guy couldn't keep it in his pants. No sexty texty...no digging into laptop...no Comey presser...no Trump ? Who knows but it was a factor that's for sure.

(5,270 posts)They had already reviewed Huma's emails from the other end since the Clinton server investigation thoroughly reviewed Huma's receipt and forwarding of emails from State Dept and Hillary's server on Huma's various devices as Huma had already told them about all of her devices and her procedure of forwarding State Dept emails to be printed on Anthony's office printer since State Dept printer didn't work.
Comey's letter was deliberate attempt to hurt Clinton campaign since FBI knew that the emails that had been sent from Huma to Anthony's laptop to be printed would be all duplicates or personal emails they had already reviewed and found nothing that was classified or confidential at the time they were originally sent to and by Huma.
