I remember still being on reddit when this all started. When the NYPD said how horrible the stuff on there was. Let's hope this is it.

That story was part of a deliberate misinformation campaign that points back the Trump Campaign.

That same day that story came out, it was also pushed on Alex Jones AND CONNECTED TO the Trump campaign. Doug Hagmann went on Alex Jones the same day as the TruePundit story, also claiming NYPD sources and he let slip that he was getting his information from Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani, of course, was an official member of the campaign and couldn't be pushing this false stuff himself. Erik Prince who later was found to be secretly working as a Trump surrogate (and would be repaid by sister becoming head of the Department of Education) went on Steve Bannon's old radio show (Bannon having moved to the Trump campaign) and pushed this story as well.

Giuliani also promised a big October surprise and mentioned he was being fed information coming from active FBI agents. The DOJ's inspector general is now investigating if the NY Office of the FBI was leaking to the Giuliani and the Trump Campaign.

Here's where Hagmann slips up and claims Rudy Giuliani is behind a lot of this info coming the NYPD. https://youtu.be/gd7yYB9QsTw?t=7289

The NYPD didn't have the laptop.

Wow Thanks for saving.

The NYPD seized the computer from Weiner during a search warrant and detectives discovered a trove of over 500,000 emails to and from Hillary Clinton, Abedin and other insiders during her tenure as secretary of state. The content of those emails sparked the FBI to reopen its defunct email investigation into Clinton on Friday.

That's a pretty plain and simple statement. Says it all, pretty much.

That's a pretty plain and simple statement.

And one that is completely false. The NYPD DID NOT seize the computer from the Weiner. The FBI did. The NYPD did not turn over the laptop to the FBI because they didn't have it. The FBI did.

That's why there will be an investigation. To get to the truth once and for all. You are entitled to your opinion, but again no source. You just make up statements and we are suppose to believe them. NYPD said they saw the horrid videos. Considering who was at the head of the FBI at the time, I will believe the word of the NYPD.

I thought you were following the discussion elsewhere on the forum. The source for my claims is the warrant that was unsealed. It clearly shows that the FBI were ones who took possession of Weiner's laptop.

Please read this article and the warrant

https://nypost.com/2018/05/17/search-warrant-for-weiners-electronic-devices-unsealed/

This is a federal warrant. It doesn't not apply to the NYPD. We don't need an investigation. We can read the warrant ourselves and confirm the facts. Below is not my opinion. These are the facts.

The NYPD DID NOT seize the computer from the Weiner. The FBI did. The NYPD did not turn over the laptop to the FBI because they didn't have it. The FBI did.

IF the FBI had those emails then why did they wait so long to let Congress know about them. Why would I believe coming out the mouth of liars. They have a responsibility to the people since that who writes their paycheck. I don't have much faith in them. Comey is and was a liar and so is and was Andy McCabe.

IF the FBI had those emails then why did they wait so long to let Congress know about them.

They should not have said anything at all when the did. The Department of Justice has a policy to avoid the appearance of influencing an election and a policy that politics should not play a role in their decisions.

This is has been interpreted as an unwritten rule that you should take no major actions in a political case 60 days before an election.

You can read more about that here. A lot of former prosecutors were shocked at what Comey did. If you remember, this was the first reason Trump gave for why he fired Comey. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/hillary-clinton-fbi-james-comey-disclosure-prosecutors-230467

Now that Comey's book is out we find we was thinking about politics he was thinking that Clinton would win and the FBI would get accused of playing politics. Also the fact that emails were on the laptop was not evidence of a crime. They had just looked through tens of thousands of emails and deterimined there was no crime.

You don't want the party in power to abuse the power of the prosecutor. Imagine a scenario where two weeks before election day, a US attorney gets up and says we are investigating Senator So and So for bribery. Senator So and So drops in the polls and ends up losing by 5 points. Then a month after election day, they say the investigation is closed Senator So and So never took any bribes.

In the US attorney scandal under the Bush administration this happened Republican politicians wanted the US Attorney to indict a politician before the election and when he didn't they asked Karl Rove to fire him..

Iglesias testified before Congress in March 2007, stating that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) called and urged him to rush indictments against Aragon prior to the November 2006 election.

ProPublica has a good article on the Comey affairs that cover who knew what and when with Weiner's laptop. Comey was told on Oct 3 that some State Department emails were on the laptop. But he didn't find out there were thousands until later. I think the number of emails that that applied was about 43,000 of Huma's emails.

Typed this up yesterday. And the President today show why they have a rule about avoiding politics in their decisions. The DOJ does not work for Trump. He cannot simply order up criminal investigations to his liking. It's an obvious abuse of power.

NYPD never said that.

Fake news sites with anonymous sources said that.

We have our own Fake News on this site too.
