When they do these warrant searches of a hard drive, and many other type warrants, they have to be VERY specific in what they will be looking for. Whatever they find that is outside the scope of that warrant, even if illegal, cannot be used as evidence for prosecution using that discovery as evidence.
I think this means that when they first got the laptop, they tried to separate Weiner's sex case from the rest of the stuff on the laptop, to protect the privacy of other people, etc. But, as they were going through the meta-data, they realized that this had HRC emails on it that were relevant to the server investigation.
It could be, but it specifically says "Because ______ emails were outside of the scope __________________ the FBI did not review the content of those emails." If they were relevant, why did they skip over thousands of those emails.
It sounds to me they found something that was outside the scope of the warrant.
There are two warrants. Originally they executed a search for Weiner sex case. In doing that, they found Hillary's emails. Those were outside of the scope of the first-Weiner-sex warrant.
Inside the FBI, they sat on this for weeks, then they decided to get a second warrant to search the Hillary emails.
The interesting thing is that the warrant doesn't mention anything about pizzagate, child trafficking, treason, Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation, or any of the other things we are all hoping that the patriots in the FBI are actually investigating.

I see now, thanks for the extra context.
