Anthony Weiner has given permission to the FBI to search computer, no warrant needed?

I just had a crazy thought, what if Huma is sincere in not knowing this was on Weiner's laptop. In my home, via my home wifi, I can retrieve files from different laptops in the network, except those with security protocols.

Is it possible, they had a similar set up? Weiner sees a file called life insurance and possibly curious opened it. Seeing what was there, decides to save said file over to his pc for his own insurance too?

That is correct. I have several computers on my home network and access to the drives of all of them from my laptop. My spouse (think of her as a Huma analog) has a vague idea that this works, but I know how to do it from the laptop. One of the ways I maintain backups is to regularly copy the user "library" directories (docs, pics, vids, etc.) across computers, so if one machine goes T.U. on me I have more or less instant recovery. Wiener could easily have accessed and copied as a proactive measure. I find it a trifle hard to believe they both "shared" a laptop. That's like sharing toothbrushes.

Weiner really did have an addiction.
I really hope they fixed him because i don't like him anymore!

That makes sense.
If my family was involved with the Clinton family in any way, I would be concerned enough to take advantage of any possible form of "life insurance" too.

No - 650,000 emails.

That means if they worked 12 hour days with 20 agents, spending only 1 minute per email that would take 40 days. So yeah, not happening before the election unless they can quickly throw out thousands.

Yeah, I typed that wrong....this will take months, its going
to take more than 1 minute as each one from Hillary has to
be traced, and then if there is classified info, longer.

Yep, I am beginning to think that is very possible.

That or she set up the email account on that laptop a long time ago, and totally forgot about it, or Weiner set up the account for Hillary's server for her on a new phone or something, then set it up on the laptop also once he had the authorization info and realized it might be good to have that info for "Life Insurance".

A large hint would be the format of the files.

I suppose he could of just copied the files in the email client directory. No way he saved that many email copies from the mail client.

I find it hard to believe Huma sent and received 640K emails. Sounds more like she got a bulk copy of most or all emails from the server. (Assuming it is Clinton server mail)

Could the Platte River guys be the source? Therefore the 5th.

We can assume that Weiner is being investigated for texting underage girls. Who knows, maybe he's into kiddie porn too? Obviously there's some kind of interstate violations hence the FBI? Or something else? But he is facing some serious prison time. He has to make a deal because he is screwed. He is gonna sing like a canary.

Sing?
Dead birds can't sing.
People around the KlintonKamp have died for less.
I hope they arrest him soon and put him in protected custody.
Or maybe not. Maybe the FBI wants him to be a target.
They'll use him as bait to get the bigger beast.

If this is years worth of emails, that amount is not really unreal.
I have seen people who email heavily receive and send thousands every month.

I do mainly just to show our videos on the big wide screen tv. Though, I should probably do the back up too. Just saying thanks, even if off topic. Toothbrushes? Uh, yeah, I won't touch my hubby's porn pc keypad! Egad! Only half kidding! Amazingly, that is the oldest and only PC that has never gotten a virus or crashed! Wth is up with that?

On topic...I would not even be upset if the FBI gives Weiner boy immunity. They had handed them out like candy earlier in the original election! At least, with a pervert like Weiner, he may get a pass this time...but he obviously will want to sext again and will not have any immunity then. Besides, looking at the screen shots from another thread..,it is obvious this was a sting operation. A 15 year old girl is not savvy enough on her own to screenshot everything the way she did.

The clue would be if they are only her emails. If any are others then it wasn't from her mailbox.

1. Wiener HAS an addiction. Present tense.
2. He's NOT fixed. It's widely known among clinical psychologists tat perverts cannot be fixed.
3. Doesn't matter if you don't like him.

Hillary's DOJ is going to see this through all the way to the acquittal, no worries.

a reply to: BlueAjah

I'd like to add, that if my theory is close, I think its likely that this sting was done rogue, or at least without the active approval of Comey. I think evidence shows that his people have lost faith in him. So, he might sincerely been just recently made aware of this find, and now has an opportunity to redeem himself.

65,000 emails ...well thats it, not going to
be completed before the election.

So all Clinton can do now is whine and cry and spin.

They'll run a filter to eliminate the vast majority of those within a few minutes.

First, they'll search for anything incoming from Hillary herself, or from anyone close to Hillary. Then, for anything outgoing to Hillary.

Then they may have a list of buzzwords to search.

Probably have that thing clipped down to a 10 or 20 thousand emails in short order.

I mean, isn't it possible 90% of those emails contain dong pics?

If I remember correctly, wasn't there some sort of ties between Huma and the Muslim Brotherhood or Saudi Arabia?

Could it be possible that she could have passed along classified info to ME contacts?

Maybe Wiener knew this and was holding this as insurance/blackmail?

****FULL DISCLOSURE**** My first question is from memory and considering how much you can trust what you read online now days,
I may be way off base

a reply to: RainyState

This whole private server seems to support some info exchange for outsiders. It wasn't being treated like a secure system with sensitive mail. Made it easy to move the info around which most likely could not be done with the department infrastructure.
