A U.S. judge on Monday ordered the unsealing of the application used to obtain a search warrant that allowed the FBI to gain access to emails related to Democratic nominee Hillary Clintons private server shortly before the Nov. 8 presidential election.

U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan directed the release by Tuesday of redacted materials used to obtain a search warrant after Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey informed Congress of newly discovered emails on Oct. 28.

1. Should be very very interesting. Glad the judge made this decision.

[Pachamama]

4. Want to know who ordered this and directed this

Should lead to some interesting information and motives

2. If Huma Abedin told the truth ..

.. this will show that she and her husband were
not served with a warrant before Weiner's emails
were released.

8. That's not what she said. She said she was not served with a warrant

(nor to her knowledge was Weiner) before the FBI searched her emails on Weiner's computer.

3. From the Reuters article:

"In his order, Castel said he would allow the redaction of the identities of two unnamed individuals, one of whom is subject to an "ongoing criminal investigation.""

One of these could be Wiener, but who is the other one who would be redacted?

[pnwmom]

7. Abedin. n/t

[shraby]

15. Why would either one be redacted? It's well known that

they are the ones who had the computer with her emails on it.

[uppityperson]

5. Good

[Lucinda]

6. KNR

[CanonRay]

9. My guess is there's some FBI agent crapping his pants

and worried about perjury charges.

[TonyPDX]

10. I can't imagine any Republicans investigating this, bringing charges or prosecuting.

Repercussions and consequences? Ancient history.

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. Yup

Just like 2001, there also won't be enough Democrats standing up. Time to "move on".

[LaydeeBug]

12. Special fucking prosecutor. nt

13. Judge Castel was a W. Bush nominee confirmed by the US Senate in 2003.

Not clear to me if it was a lifetime appointment, but if not, I'm guessing his days are numbered.

Once upon a time, I signed my DU posts "Tired Old Cynic." Gettin' tireder and older with each passing day. Not to mention sadder and increasingly depressed.

Lord help us all!

[progressoid]

14. Just in time for....

well, nothing.

[zippythepinhead]

16. It will lead nowhere

thanks to mitch mcconnell, who actually wields more power than the orange freak.

he runs the senate like a banana republic dictator.

[PRETZEL]

17. By any chance does anyone know if there's a time for release? nt

[deminks]

18. Last I heard it was 12 noon EST today, 12/20/16.

Barring any successful appeals.

[PRETZEL]

19. Thanks,

I'm not sure why there would be an appeal. The judge agreed with both sides request as it related to redactions.
