Please correct me if I'm wrong regarding how the emails got onto Weiner's laptop: [View all]

As I understand it, it goes like this:

1) Huma would receive many emails as Hillary's "gatekeeper" of messages.

2) Hillary wanted them in hard copy, and Huma would print them off, maybe even at home, by forwarding emails to her other email accounts.

3) Some of these forwarded emails were emails received by Huma on the account attached to the Clinton server.

4) If she had ever used Weiner's laptop for email purposes, even if only once, the forwarded emails would sync to that account/device.

5) It is likely that most or all of these emails have already been seen by the FBI because they would have also been captured on the Clinton server which they have already investigated.

Am I getting this straight? Please correct any misunderstandings as my tech knowledge is limited.

Also, I thought they were in negotiations to search through these emails voluntarily? Now they have a warrant. What do you suppose it up with that?
