CNN reporting that the FBI is in possession of Weiner's laptop and are seeking a search warrant to look at Abedin's emails that were found on it. Thousands.
This is so messed up. Comey should NEVER has released that letter.

(6,675 posts)testified before the committee on impeachment. he was asked about what people said against Clinton and he kept saying that he didn't read the reports, didn't remember who told him about the reports and even finally had to admit that he did not even sit in on the questioning of Lewinsky. She just greeted her, shook hands and left the room. but then he was the one who testified before the committee on why Clinton should be impeached. In other words, patsy!!

Let's hear it for any story that gets the Democratic base so worked up in the middle of the early voting during a presidential election. Because we all know that Republicans are motivated to vote by their fear and us Dems get out to vote when we are angry, and nothing makes us angrier than a bunch of dudes in smoke filled rooms trying to steal our elections and subvert our democracy.
