the FBI claims to have gotten -- to dive into her emails on Weiner's computer -- and neither was Weiner.
Karen Dunn, Abedin's lawyer, says the law required Abedin to be served a warrant.
So what happened?
ON EDIT: The only copy of Dunn's letter that I could see was on the public FB page of E. Randol Schoenberg, the attorney.

Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin told a Manhattan federal judge in a court filing Thursday that neither she nor Anthony Weiner ever received FBI search warrants for emails found on her estranged husbands computer raising questions about whether FBI warrants for the emails were ever issued, and if so to whom.
In the letter, Abedins lawyer said she is unable to comment on a Los Angeles lawyers request for FBI warrants tied to her emails, because the government has never provided her with a copy of the warrant it reportedly obtained to search certain emails.
We understand that Mr. Weiner has likewise not been provided with a copy of the material, said the letter from lawyer Karen Dunn.
Abedins letter is tied to a request by E. Randol Schoenberg, a genealogist and lawyer based in LA, who has asked a Manhattan federal judge to help him get to the bottom of FBI Director Jim Comeys late-October surprise announcement that emails tied to the agencys probe into Clintons email server were found on Anthony Weiners computer during the FBIs probe into his sexting with an underage teen.

Dunns letter Thursday cites law that states an officer executing the warrant must give a copy of the warrant and a receipt or the property taken to the person from whom, or from whose premise, the property was taken.
Dunn also requests copies of the warrant and warrant application so Ms. Abedin may formulate her position on Schoenbergs request.
The FBI did not immediately return a request for comment.
Reports at the time said the Justice Department was required to obtain separate warrants because Abedins emails were not related to the probe into Weiners sexting.
Judge Castel suggested at a hearing on Tuesday that he was inclined to release any warrants tied to the investigation, but said he wanted to hear first from the parties that had been served.
