...I'm not sure that the FBI ever really went looking for Clinton emails on Weiner's computer. IIRC, they were found during the routine data dump of his hard drive (isn't that just such a fitting term in this case) as part of his sexting with a 13 year old. Then they hit pay dirt and the NY Field Office couldn't wait to do their "patriotic duty".

Everything is revisionist history now but one has to wonder if (and how) we got f'ed because a guy couldn't keep it in his pants. No sexty texty...no digging into laptop...no Comey presser...no Trump ? Who knows but it was a factor that's for sure.
