FBI discovered Clinton-related emails on laptop after initially seizing device during probe of Anthony Weiner
Search warrant filings made public for the first time Tuesday provide a new look at controversial actions the FBI took shortly before the presidential election as the law enforcement agency revived its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email set-up.
The warrant was issued by federal magistrate Kevin Fox in Manhattan on Oct. 30, after the FBI requested permission to search emails contained on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The FBI discovered Clinton-related emails on the computer after initially seizing the device during a probe over Weiner’s alleged sexually explicit online exchanges with a minor.
The court filings unsealed Tuesday show that the FBI told Fox that the laptop was likely to contain evidence of illegal possession of classified information, apparently by Weiner or Abedin, although neither has been charged with a crime.
“There is probable cause to believe that the Subject Laptop contains evidence, contraband, fruits, and/or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793 (e) and (f),” an FBI agent wrote, citing a felony Espionage Act provisions for illegal possessions of classified information.

I wondered why the commenters on this article’s source link were so anti-Trump and hateful. Then I saw it was Politico, a really leftwing site. They’re also on fake news list put out by the alternative media. Clinton lost the election because she had shown ineptitude while in office of Sec. of State. If she couldn’t handle that, she can’t handle the presidency. Plus, since she held that office, she has aged and seems too physically weak to take the regimen of the presidency. And if we need more reasons for her loss, she was awful as first lady. None of these things had to do with the emails. She had plenty of negatives going into the campaign. Oh I’d like to add one more that I personally noted, not something media says, that she seemed to have memorized her speeches and debate responses etc. For these reasons, I felt Bill or some other handler picked by Soros would be the real unseen leader in control. She would be another puppet like BHO. Thus, she lost.
