> Anthony Weiner's wife is Huma Abedin. She was deputy chief of staff to Clinton. Somehow, his laptop had come to contain lots of classified emails to/from Clinton. I am aware of the facts (and Abedin "was" his wife). The FBI eventually established that the "new" emails were either personal or duplicate of already known emails. You seem to be implying (correct me if I am wrong) that: - Abedin was using Weiner's laptop to write the most "damaging" and "interesting" emails to Clinton, - somehow, the emails sent to/from Weiner's laptop escaped months of extensive investigations by the FBI, - somehow, the emails got erased from everywhere else apart from from Weiner's laptop and could be found only there (that's not how email works), - somehow, in their criminal conspiracy, Clinton/Abedin forgot that Abedin had 650'000 (according to official reports) emails from the Clinton campaign on her husband's laptop - they erased all the damaging information from everywhere else but somehow forgot Wiener's computer (which she must have used extensively to accumulate that number of messages), - 10 days of "around the clock" work by FBI agents couldn't have possibly established that most of 650k message where either "personal or duplicative" in nature[0]. Sorry, but that's just way too much mental gymnastic for my taste. Again, the idea that Comey's public re-opening of the official investigation was somehow less damaging, from the point of view of public perception, than unsupported and unsubstantiated leaks from NYPD just does not hold water.
