The Facts about the Newly discovered Emails

The Players

Anthony Weiner, former congressman
Huma Abedin, personal aide to Hillary Clinton
FBI director James Comey.

(Sorry Donald, Hillary Clinton doesn't appear in this play).

The Facts

• On October 28, FBI director James Comey sends a letter to Republican legislators stating that ‘potential new evidence was discovered related to Hillary Clinton’s handling of her personal email when she was Secretary of State.’

• None of these new emails were to or from Clinton and has virtually nothing to do with any actions taken by Clinton. They were not withheld during the investigation, nor suggest she did anything illegal.

• The FBI did not “reopen” the case. Such investigations are never actually closed, and it is common for law enforcement to discover new information that needs to be examined.

• The Bureau is seeking to determine whether these newly discovered emails involved classified material. • The new inquiry has to do with former Congressman Anthony Weiner, who sent sexual text messages from a laptop that he shared with his wife, Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide.

• This new evidence relates to how Abedin managed her emails. She had four email accounts:

a) One unclassified State Department account, which she used for work-related records.
b) One on the clintonemail.com domain, which she only used for issues related to the Secretary’s personal affairs.
c) A third on Yahoo
d) A fourth one linked to her husband’s account, which she used to support his activities when he was running for Congress.

Hard copies of emails

Clinton preferred to read documents on paper, so emails were often printed out and provided to her. Since the government network technology made it cumbersome to print documents, Abedin transferred emails from her unclassified State Department account to either her Yahoo account or her account on Clinton’s server and printed from there.

What is being investigated

It is not clear whether she ever transferred official emails to the account she used for her husband’s campaign. This procedure for printing documents is how the newly discovered emails ended up on the laptop shared by Abedin and her husband. Were any of the documents transferred to the shared computer classified? That would be deemed a criminal offense, if Abedin had intended to disclose the contents. If the documents were not classified, no crime was committed.

Proof of Clinton’s Innocenc Clinton could not have known what device her aide was using to transmit electronic information to her unless Abedin specifically told her.

Ulterior Motive?

Why did Comey feel the need to send a letter to the Congressional committee if he already testified in September that ‘his agents would examine any new evidence that emerged’? Repeating that point was unnecessary unless Comey is trying to influence the elections.

Donald Trump’s statement that ‘Clinton is engaged in corruption on a scale we have never seen before’ doesn’t hold water. Clinton had no way of knowing from which machine the printed emails came from.

Logic tells me that it is Abedin, not Clinton, who is investigated. None of this is directly linked to Clinton. She is not implicated in any potential wrongdoing. Source: Hillary Clinton’s emails: The real Reason the FBI is reviewing more of them leave comment here
