Why in the hell wasn't Huma Abedin's laptop looked at sooner? [View all]

Sorry but this was sloppy as hell. Alan Dershowitz pointed this out last night that her lawyers should have been the ones to say here's her laptop. If the investigation is about Weiner then look at his emails. I thought they already went through Huma's emails, and if this was some sort of extra device that was left out then why in the hell didn't she turn it over prior to this? Am I saying this correctly? Please correct me if I'm not but thats what I'm getting from what I'm hearing so far. So at the very least this is sloppy as hell. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. There is no way that emails from Clinton to Huma should have been sent to a laptop "shared" by Huma and her husband. This should've been done on a device that was hers and hers alone. Am I wrong in that sentiment? I don't think I am. Its ridiculous that this comes out now given that they all know she is Hillary's close personal aide so why the hell are they just getting their information now? Why wasn't it turned over before or why didn't the FBI look at it before?

Please let me know if I have my information correct. Am I misreporting something? I'm just sitting here thinking about everything I've heard and just seems like it could've been completely avoided and was at most sloppy but left the door open for this bullshit.
