Confirmed: The NYPD never had Weiner's laptop. The claims of what the NYPD found are false. (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Are_we_sure

Folks investigating pizzagate have put a ton of energy and a lot of hope on a news story that I think we can conclusively say is fake. The idea that the NYPD saw on Weiner's laptop would take down Clinton and many others. Someone on here called Weiner's laptop the Rosetta Stone of Pizzagate. To mean it's like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, whatever you want to imagine is in there is in there. One voater said it would show

Money laundering Child exploitation Sex crimes with minors (children) Perjury Pay to play through Clinton Foundation Obstruction of justice Other felony crimes

This idea started on messageboards and twitter and then continued on the dozens of "news" sites that popped up recently. Then TruePundit put out a story purporting to quote an "anonymous NYPD chief" saying the laptop would put Hillary Clinton away for life and it turned his stomach and that the NYPD had the laptop and turned it over to the FBI.

There's one problem with this story. The NYPD never had the laptop. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/us/politics/james-comey-election.html?_r=0

The Trump campaign would go on to hype this story. Erik Prince (serving as an unofficial advisor to the Trump campaign) went on Trump campaign CEO's Steve Bannon's radio show and backed this story up claiming high level sources at 1 Police Plaza

I started looking deeper into this a month ago. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1747104

and did a thorough examination of the claims here.

The New York Times is out with a giant story James Comey over the past year. It covers the Clinton investigation, Loretta Lynch, Trump/Russia, Weiner. So here's what we can now reconfirm* the NY office of the FBI got the laptop, the NYPD is not mentioned whatsoever in the investigation. This Weiner laptop bombshell was a false story put out to deceive you.

F.B.I. agents in New York seized Mr. Weiner’s laptop in early October.

The NYPD never had Anthoney Weiner's laptop and never examined its content. We can say that all claims of what the NYPD saw on Anthony Weiner's laptop is false.

*Why do I say reconfirm? Because the mainstream media had this right last year. This false story about the NYPD having the laptop never came from a real source even if you take out the claims made about the laptop, nobody was reporting the NYPD had it. And a reading of the search warrant would make it clear the NYPD could not have it. https://www.scribd.com/document/334714814/Weiner-Email-Search-Warrant

I'm going to use some of that liberal mental gymnastics here:

Hypothesis: In order to protect an FBI source (under an extremely corrupt Lynch DOJ) the informant was falsely identified as a member of the NYPD, but in actuality is a member of the FBI New York Bureau.

EDIT: While on this matter, have there been any charges filed against Weiner? If not, why?

This from 3 months ago is the last official word had on the case. It seems like they are trying to negotiate a plea deal. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/31/prosecutors-weigh-child-pornography-charges-against-anthony-weiner.html

In recent weeks, according to some of the people familiar with the matter, attorneys for Mr. Weiner have had discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan in hopes of dissuading them from bringing charges, or at least from bringing the most serious one: production of child pornography, which carries a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence upon conviction.

Mr. Weiner could face the production charge, some of the people familiar with the case say, because he allegedly solicited explicit images from the teenager. Prosecutors also are weighing other charges, including receipt of child pornography, for which conviction carries a five-year mandatory minimum, and possession of child pornography, which has no mandatory minimum.

Prosecutors could decide not to bring any charges.

The girl and her family have not cooperated with prosecutors. This might impede what kind of charge they can bring against Weiner.

Where did you see this? The only thing I've seen is this: https://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/teen-who-allegedly-got-weiner-sexts-upset-with-comey?utm_term=.rfWwLGBr3#.yid3pnoek

Where they said she was interviewed for hours.

Also, even if the NYPD was never in physical possession of the laptop, that doesn't mean they didn't have access to it and view files on it. According to this article: http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2016/09/22/anthony-weiner-under-investigation-for-series-of-emails-he-allegedly-sent-to-teenage-girl-in-north-carolina.html

"Weiner is under investigation by federal authorities and the NYPD"

"Weiner is under investigation by federal authorities and the NYPD"

The was the day after the story broke, but the local prosecutor did not subpoena the laptop, the US attorney did. And the feds seized the laptop.

Read the warrant the FBI got for the Clinton emails, there are looking for classified info. The sex crimes unit of the NYPD is not cleared to view such material and certainly not to make and keep copies of it

Mrs_Ogynist01 ago

Yes - the warrant was for the emails from the laptop they already had because of the sexting. That's how they found the SOS emails, or metadata for them. Supposedly (wink-wink), they didn't read Huma/Hillary emails because they weren't relevant to the sexting.

I have not seen an original search warrant from when the laptop was seized in reference to the sexting.

The article today only mentions the FBI searching the laptop.
