FBI gets a warrant GRAMPA MURKED told them they don't need:
FBI gets warrant to start probe of emails on laptop used by Huma Abedin
If only FBI would listen to our very own expert GRAMPS.
Legally they already had one in the Wiener investigation. They did not need one. But as any good investigator can tell you, its prudent to get one for your purposes so that none of the information can be considered "fruit of the poisonous vine". Now that they have one, all of the information is able to be used in prosecution.
The fun is just beginning...
Irrelevant, the WHOLE POINT is about them not yet having seen the emails. Or are you going to tell me that they were prude enough to get a warrant but not prude enough to not potentially break the law by reviewing emails before receiving said warrant?
Again, for the legally impaired...
1)They already had a warrant.
2)They used that warrant to look into the emails and found Department of State and classified data. They had to read some of them to determine what it was they had.
3) Once they determined they had data which Wiener should not be having access too, they refereed the information back to the espionage wing of the FBI.
4) Once the espionage team got the data they did a meta data search and found the addresses of both Clinton and Obama. They then requested a warrant to do a more thorough search and once they obtained the warrant they did a sub data search finding over 650,000 emails.
5) They now have a warrant for all emails with attachments and content and are processing them to retrieve them.
Once they are retrieved they will be individually looked at and evaluated as to their classification. They also found digital image files of top secret documents with and without their document markings.
This thing is a huge bomb that just went off...
To add insult to injury, Huma violated her sworn oath statement to the FBI. This being found due to an investigation. which was unrelated. makes all of what is found usable in a new prosecution rendering all of the immunity deals null and void.
Its going to take months to sift through the mess.. And no on is immune to prosecution... Ill bet there are some seriously worried folks in the Clinton Camp about now...
