The FBI is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. The Wall Street Journal reports that 650,000 emails are sitting on Anthony Weiner's laptop, and thousands of those may involve Clinton's server since Weiner was married to Clinton's top aide when she was secretary of state.
To cover up her crimes, she bleached and deleted 33,000 emails after receiving a congressional subpoena.
A computer used by former congressman Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife, Huma Abedin, is now the focus of new inquiries. Sources say there could be as many as 650,000 emails on the computer with underlying metadata suggesting that thousands of those messages could have been sent to or from the private server that Mrs. Clinton used while she was secretary of state. The laptop had previously not come up in the Clinton email probe.
Anthony Weiner’s laptop reportedly contained kill switches and was not released before. Weiner’s laptop is connected to an investigation into whether he sent sexually charged emails to a teenage minor; the laptop hadn’t previously come up in the Clinton probe.
In an exclusive interview with Inside Edition, a minor says she first sent Weiner a message on Twitter in January 2016 when she was 15 years old. She says the messages quickly turned obscene, and she was disgusted, which contributed to her coming forward. At the time, Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, was helping run Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. The FBI's investigation of Weiner's laptop led to the discovery of a new batch of emails that Clinton had sent to Abedin, which led former FBI director James Comey to reopen the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server just days before the presidential election. Inside Edition says it is withholding the girl's name because she is underage, but her father gave permission for her face to be shown. Weiner pled guilty to a charge of transferring obscene material to a minor.
Commentators note that Comey’s October 2016 reopening announcement was controversial, with some saying it cost Hillary Clinton the election. It is argued that the NYPD started investigating via subpoena and warrant, and they found 650,000 emails on Weiner’s laptop, including Clinton emails, Huma Abedin’s emails, and evidence pertaining to Clinton Foundation. They reportedly found state department emails and material including money laundering and references to a trip to Epstein’s “sex island,” with Clinton and Bill Clinton allegedly there multiple times. The material was given to the FBI, with threats to go public if the investigation wasn’t reopened or indictments issued.
There is testimony that “nine cops watched the videos on Wiener's laptop,” and that those officers were later dead. Another account says there were 12 individuals who saw the laptop, and none are dead. Reports note a surge in NYPD suicides this year, with nine or more officers dying by suicide, including the latest at Queens General Hospital. One account links deputy chief Steven Silks to overseeing evidence from the Weiner laptop and to copies made of that evidence; Silks reportedly died by an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound one month before mandatory retirement. Other rumors claim the laptop contained numerous emails from Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, “insurance policy” files, and family involvement, with allegations that the FBI lost the laptop. A high-ranking NYPD official reportedly warned of grave contents and indicated others had copies of the information.
Proponents argue that, if the Weiner laptop were released, the government would fall.
