#22  Before becoming involved with this election, the Greek Gods must have been giddy with anticipation.

#19  But at least we're not talking about WikiLeaks and Project Veritas any more, right?

#18  Weiner's lap top is not a place anyone should want to be.

#17  How about email messages with incriminating content that were deleted under the orders of Mills?

#16  I'm hoping for evidence of a conspiracy to obstruct an investigation.

#15  F) The Mills-directed purge of incriminating emails failed to wipe Huma's computer -- or Weiner had already made a copy, for his own "convenience" and safety.

G) The newly found emails, previously unseen by the FBI, include evidence of Clinton corruption, classified or top-secret messages, as well as messages from Obama's alias.

F+G would be a good reason FBI agents with a modicum of integrity would have been able to hold a (metaphorical) knife to Comey's throat and force his hand.

#14  A) Huma was sending classified messages to (at least) her Yahoo email account. Supposedly to print them at home.

B) Emails in cloud accounts (such as Yahoo or gmail) are not stored on a laptop. If FBI agents found thousands of emails on that computer, Huma was using a mail application to download and read messages (e.g. Microsoft Outlook).

C) Huma probably had access to Hillary's mailbox (for "convenience"; Outlook has delegation features). She probably used Outlook at home for her @clinton mailbox, and she may very well have enabled access to Hillary's mailbox as well (remember: "convenience").

D) Huma's "husband" may have stumbled on those, and figured that was his ticket out of jail.

E) The FBI, if they had conducted a proper investigation of the Clinton-basement-server scandal, should have confiscated Huma's computer months ago. The only reason they did not is that they deliberately avoided using any warrants or powers of subpoena.

Only D is firmly in the realm of hypothesis.

#13  Imagine Tammany Hall on a national scale, with email.

#12  It still smells like a setup for someone, maybe Huma, to take the fall.

#11  The entire multiheaded dragon of the emails, the Clinton Foundation and Bengahzi is finally sinking in with even the MSM...now they realize that even if they get her elected, she'd get impeached...

I think even the rats have bailed on the mess.

#10  I think the conspiracy has become unmanageably large, and people are eyeing the lifeboats nervously...

#6  Should've linked to #5's source

#5  In her April interview with the FBI, Abedin incredulously maintained that she “did not know that Clinton had a private server until about a year and a half ago, when it became public knowledge.” The clintonemail.com server was set up in the basement of the Clinton family residence in Chappaqua.

However, another witness told agents that he and another Clinton aide with computer skills built the new server system “at the recommendation of Huma Abedin,” who first broached the idea of an off-the-grid email server as early as the “fall (of) 2008.”


Paging Martha Stewart.... is lying to the FBI still a crime? Huma's going down, but that's nothing new for her, is it?

#4  ....You know, not that ol' Carlos has shown this kind of smarts so far, but I am tempted to wonder if those emails weren't collected on that laptop as a 'Get Out Of Jail Free'card - consider that right now, he's on the receiving end of an FBI investigation that could end up with him as a FEDERAL level sex offender. If he could hand a pi$$ed-off Bureau the greatest prize it's ever had, he might just walk.

On the other hand, he should REALLY stay away from Fort Marcy Park after that...

#3  And now you know why this is headlined - Huma takes the fall for all the classified Hillary put on her server.

#2  For crying-out-loud, this stuff could have been hacked by anyone and everyone. No wonder the FBI reopened this investigation. These people had so sense of security or the damage it might do by not heeding it--or they just did not care or they were selling secrets for a price.

Earl voters ought to go back to the polls and demand a do-over because of this corrupt witch.

#1  Any guesses who stripped the confidential labels off emails to fwd to Hildabeest's private email? Could it rhyme with Numa Babedin?
