FBI Obtains Warrant for Newly Discovered Emails in Clinton Probe

Source: MSN/NBC News

The FBI obtained a warrant to search emails related to the Hillary Clinton private server probe that were discovered on ex-congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop, law enforcement officials confirmed Sunday.

The warrant came two days after FBI director James Comey revealed that the emails were linked to Weiner's estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

The FBI already had a warrant to search Weiner's laptop, but that only applied to evidence of his allegedly illicit communications with an underage girl.

Comey's disclosure of the emails ignited fierce criticism, particularly from Clinton, who called the move an "unprecedented" departure from FBI policy.

I guess this confirms that the FBI Director can be called, James Ready-Fire-Aim-Comey, since the FBI had not even reviewed the e-mails, but chose to create a political firestorm first.

That shit is just as sick as holding hearings about a blowjob. Sadly this is what the next 8 years are going to be like, unless these fucking gopers make their voters so sick of their crap that they risk losing reelection over it.

I wish someone would clarify this.

From Los Angeles times piece yesterday:

The emails were not to or from Clinton, and contained information that appeared to be more of what agents had already uncovered, the official said, but in an abundance of caution, they felt they needed to further scrutinize them.

They tried that crap with Bill Clinton and his poll numbers skyrocketed.

They have already picked out the first ones to release. You know, the ones when properly taken out of context purport to show 'damaging' evidence.

Why couldn't Comey wait until AFTER the election to send his letter to Congress?

Why couldn't Comey's FBI wait until AFTER the election to obtain a warrant to search emails relating to Clinton?

So the question is,

Did Comey violate the Hatch Act or not?
