FBI Director James Comey wrote his bombshell letter to Congress on Friday about newly discovered emails that were potentially pertinent to the investigation into Hillary Clintons private email server before agents were able to review any of the material because the bureau had not yet gotten a search warrant to read them, three government officials who have been briefed on the probe told Yahoo News.
When Comey wrote the letter, he had no idea what was in the content of the emails, one of the officials said, referring to recently discovered emails that were found on the laptop of disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner is under investigation for allegedly sending illicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl.
As of Saturday night, the FBI had still not gotten approval from the Justice Department for a warrant that would allow them to read any of the newly discovered Abedin emails, and therefore are still in the dark about whether they include any classified material that the bureau has not already seen.

I'm so happy they told the whole world about this even before knowing the content of the emails!
Comey is a criminal. He should be investigated.

(9,462 posts)all of America that he turned up a great big nothing. Then a hearing in Congress/Senate where detailed info starts to come out. I'm interested in the claim that Trump pressured him to seek a subpoena or Trump would claim Comey was corrupt for Hillary. If that's the case, it means Trump had the info to begin with. How did that happen? His comrades at Wiki? The Kremlin?
IMHO if Clinton fires Comey it will look like she has something to hide. Doesn't matter what the truth is. Force Comey to do a thorough investigation and then book him on every TV show to tell the world that.

(14,816 posts)If they had no warrant, how do they know there are emails that are pertinent?
And since they had a warrant to seize the laptop, they already have one.
Someone is on drugs here. Seriously.

(171,079 posts)I don't know the legal ramifications of that, whether another one was needed.

(14,816 posts)Once they have a warrant it covers everything on the device.
babylonsister
(171,079 posts)That doesn't seem at all fair.
okaawhatever
(9,462 posts)saw was the title line and realized they had Clinton emails on the computer Even though they're probably duplicates. I think if the Clinton email crap wasn't already being investigated, I doubt he could even get a warrant.

But I'm just a prole, not a legal / law enforcement "expert" like Comey.
