So there's a pizzagate protest in NYC tomorrow outside 1 Police Plaza.
The idea that NYPD has all this bombshell evidence seems to have started with TruePundit. Should we believe this site?
Sept 22 2016 Weiner story breaks in England, the next day NYPD, FBI announce investigations
Oct 3 FBI seize a laptop, an iPad, an iPhone and router from Anthony Weiner
Oct 28 It's revealed that Comey's letter to congress was inspired by Weiner's laptop. Also says it's more than 1,000 emails
The emails, numbering more than 1,000, were found on a computer used by both Weiner (D-N.Y.) and his wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, according to law enforcement officials with knowledge of the inquiry who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
That's kind of a weird way of putting it. Do they mean somewhere less than 2,000? I heard people say it was 650,000 emails on the laptop. 650,000 is more than 1.000 but is that how you would say it. I wonder if the reporter asked the question in an odd way. Did they mean only 1,000 of the emails involved Clinton? (Also this story has 19,000 comments. Wow.)
Nov 2: NewPundit publishes this Bombshell: NYPD blows whistle on New Hillary emails. This article makes several claims. We can see if these have turned out or not.
NYPD turned over a laptop to the FBI
Clinton, her crew and several members of Congress were facing life in prison
500,000 emails to and from Hillary Clinton
The FBI and Comey read these emails and that's why Comey sent his letter because the crimes were way worse than mishandling classified info
NYPD officials including a chief will go public if indictments don't happen. They have copies of the info and will hold a press conference or go to wikileaks.
Weiner flipped and was cooperating.
The FBI and the NYPD split up the case. " FBI sources said Abedin and Weiner were cooperating with federal agents, who have taken over the non-sexting portions the case from NYPD. "
Oct 31 Found out where the 650,000 email figure comes from. The majority don't concern Clinton. WSJ reported it, they also reported that at the time of Comey's letter, the FBI did not have a warrant to look at Clinton's emails.
Investigators found 650,000 emails on a laptop that they believe was used by former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide, and underlying metadata suggests thousands of those messages could have been sent to or from the private server that Mrs. Clinton used........Officials had to await a court order to begin reviewing the emails—which they received over the weekend, according to a person familiar with the matter—because they were uncovered in an unrelated probe of Mr. Weiner.
So can we say At the time of Comey's letter on the 28th, the FBI didn't have a warrant for the Huma/Clinton emails.....their original warrant would have only applied to Weiner. The warrant was granted on Oct 30th.
Oct 7 Comey says email review doesn't change conclusions and no criminal charges are coming.
There's no way for all of the above to be true. Either Comey, the FBI and prosecutors are lying, TruePundit is lying or TruePundit was lied to. Can anyone think of any other possibility?
Evaluating the claims.
**NYPD turned over a laptop to the FBI. ** Contradicted by earlier NY Times story on Oct 3. Can anyone find a source in Oct that says the NYPD got the laptop? This becomes pretty big, because unless the FBI showed it to the nypd, this would falsify all the claims about what was on the laptop.
500,000 emails to and from Hillary Clinton. This is contradicted by WSJ/Fox story. The total number seems to be 650,000, but only thousands would apply to Clinton. That's 1/11th of 650,000. So 650,000 seem to be every email by everybody on that laptop. Remember during her 4 year term as Secretary State her server only had about 30,000 work and 30,000 personal emails.
Clinton, her crew and several members of Congress were facing life in prison.
The FBI and Comey read these emails and that's why Comey sent his letter because the crimes were way worse than mishandling classified info
NYPD officials including a chief will go public if indictments don't happen. They have copies of the info and will hold a press conference or go to wikileaks.
These are all contradicted by Comey closing the case against Clinton, no indictments coming down and no response from NYPD, no press conference, no wikileaks. Also the FBI didn't have a warrant to examine the Clinton emails until the 30th, which if true, means Comey was not forced to reopen case by reading about stomach turning crimes on weiner's laptop.
Weiner/Huma flipped and were cooperating.
The FBI and the NYPD split up the case.
I haven't seen anything to support these claims.
Laying all this out, just makes me realize how improbable all this is. There's supposed to be all this evidence of horrible and serious crimes and Comey knows that the NYPD had the laptop first and thus, many, many people may have seen this evidence. If multiple NYPD detectives had a copy of this evidence including NYPD brass, they wouldn't have to leak to Wikileaks. They have power. They could go public and would be able to garner coverage from every media outlet in the country. If this was true, they could easily take Comey down. Especially ever since January 20th. If there was genuine evidence of this baroque conspiracy, they would get a hearing in the White House.
Is there any way these claims can actually be true?
