Clinton aide Abedin seeks to review Clinton emails search warrant

Source: Reuters

By Nate Raymond

NEW YORK, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Huma Abedin, the longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, asked a U.S. judge on Wednesday to allow her to review a search warrant the FBI used to gain access to emails related to Clinton's private server shortly before the Nov. 8 presidential election.

In a letter filed in Manhattan federal court, Abedin said she was never provided a copy of the warrant, nor was her estranged husband, former Democratic U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, whose computer contained the emails in question.

The letter was filed as a federal judge considers whether to unseal the application for the search warrant, which was obtained after FBI Director James Comey informed Congress of newly discovered emails on Oct. 28.

U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel had invited affected parties to weigh in on the potential release of the search warrant application, which is being sought by Los Angeles-based lawyer Randol Schoenberg.

If neither Weiner or Abedin saw a search warrant, why did one of them surrender the laptop?

If they didn't surrender the laptop to the FBI who did?

Who had possession of this laptop when it was seized?

Or did the FBI go to Weiner and/or Abedin's internet e-mail provider and get the emails from the internet provide?


Not sure I believe one or more FBI agents are going to risk getting fired or jailed for failing to follow the law regarding serving warrant.
