Excerpts:

While the FBI and the Justice Department dig into some 650,000 emails on the computer of Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner, the man who reported back in August that Abedin was sending classified emails to her non-secure account is explaining how the trail leads to where we are now – and he predicts the “biggest scandal in U.S. history” is about to break loose.

Jerome Corsi, a senior staff writer at WND.com and author of “Partners in Crime,” first reported in late August that Abedin forwarded work-related emails to her private account after he scoured a report on emails from the watchdog group Judicial Watch.
.................................................. ....

The account to which the emails were being forwarded was partially redacted, except in one email. The address was Humamabedin@yahoo.com.

But Abedin was not the only one sending emails to her private account.

“Hillary was sending emails from Clintonemail.com to Huma Abedin at Yahoo.com. They were both involved, and they completely compromised the State Department security, because anybody that had the password or username could read, in unredacted form, all these emails in real time,” Corsi said. - (bold, underline and color emphasis added)

Media fear FBI bombshell will hand election to Trump

Washington Examiner
by Eddie Scarry
11/2/2016

Excerpt:

Major U.S. media outlets have sided with Hillary Clinton by arguing that FBI Director James Comey was wrong to tell Congress — and by extension, millions of voters — that he is revisiting the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private emails, and are worried that the surprise announcement runs the risk of unfairly throwing the election to Donald Trump.

Comey's letter came out Friday, months after he said Clinton was "extremely careless" in her handling of government information during her tenure at the State Department. His revelation that new emails were located on devices belonging to Clinton's aide Huma Abedin and her husband, disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, rocked the Democratic nominee's campaign and reinvigorated Republicans hopeful to win back the White House, though Comey did not reveal anything about the contents of the emails.

In the hours and days that followed, it became clear that several hundred thousand emails were found that had to be sorted out. Even so, media reports and analysis on the subject were less focused on whether Clinton may have sent classified information to an unsecure computer, and much more focused on how the announcement might change the outcome of the election.

A study from the right-leaning Media Research Center said that between Friday and Monday morning, reports and analysis on ABC, NBC and CBS were overwhelmingly negative on Comey. The study "reviewed all statements (by reporters, analysts, and partisans) that took a position on Comey and Clinton and found arguments against Comey (88) swamped those against Clinton (31) by a ratio of almost 3 to 1," it said.

Some of the network's biggest anchors indicated they had doubts that Comey's actions were devoid of political intent. On ABC's "Good Morning America," anchor George Stephanopoulos said, "It's hard to know what's going through James Comey's mind right now."

NBC's "Today" anchor Willie Geist interviewed Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and asked, "If you were on the other side of this, would you think this was the right thing to do on the eve of an election, to be so vague about it without knowing the content?"

Republicans as well as Democrats have said Comey should not have revealed anything about the reopened investigation, until something was discovered. Still, that was an argument used more often by Democrats, and was also picked up by major op-ed boards that downplayed the possibility that damaging information was released, and played up how the election math might have changed.

The Washington Post editorial board said Monday night that "no one should be happy that the outcome of a U.S. presidential election could be affected, if not determined, by a cryptic letter from the FBI director released 11 days before the vote. But that is our unfortunate situation."

The editorial continued, "What about Mr. Comey himself? Is there anything he can do to mitigate the harm that has been caused?"

Though Clinton and her team have admitted to deleting more than 30,000 emails from the server, the Post blamed Comey for a "re-eruption" of the controversy that the paper said "never should have generated so much suspicion or accusation in the first place."

The New York Times focused on how Comey's decision will raise suspicions that he acted politically, which could further erode the trust people have in the federal government.

It is "sadly fitting that one of the final and perhaps most consequential acts" of the unusual election was for Comey to "undermine the American people's trust in the nation's top law enforcement agencies," the Times wrote.

Abedin New Focus of Clinton Email Investigation

FBI report reveals she forwarded classified data to her private email

The Washington Free Beacon
by Bill Gertz
11/2/2016

Excerpt:

Documents made public from the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private server provide clues about the current review of more than half a million emails linked to Clinton presidential campaign vice chair Huma Abedin.

Abedin was questioned by FBI agents and Justice Department officials, including those involved with counterintelligence matters, on April 5.

During those discussions, Abedin revealed that she used four different email accounts while she was deputy chief of staff for operations in Clinton’s seventh floor office at the State Department.

The email accounts included her official State Department account, abedinh@state.gov, the private server account, huma@clintonemail.com, and her private email, humamabedin@yahoo.com. Abedin’s fourth email account was associated with the campaign activities of her estranged husband, former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner.

The FBI reopened its Clinton email investigation after agents recovered a laptop computer from Wiener that reportedly contains some 650,000 emails now being reviewed by FBI agents. Weiner’s laptop was obtained during an investigation into allegations the former congressman exchanged illicit messages with a 15-year-old girl.

The FBI began reviewing the emails after receiving a search warrant on Monday.

FBI Director James Comey revealed to Congress last week that he ordered the email investigation to be reopened after “pertinent” information was uncovered in the separate investigation of Weiner.

The Wall Street Journal, quoting people close to the FBI and Justice Department, reported last weekend that FBI and Justice Department officials disagreed with the decision to renew the email probe.

Word of the FBI’s renewed email investigation was a political bombshell for Clinton, coming 11 days before Election Day and again raising questions about her character.

Clinton and her campaign spokespeople have called for the FBI to release further details about the new email cache.

On Monday, Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik wrote to congressional Democrats who sought additional details of the new probe. “We assure you that the Department will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” Kadzik stated in a three-paragraph letter.

Abedin’s lawyer, Karen Dunn, said in a statement on Monday that Abedin was unaware that her emails were on Weiner’s laptop. “Ms. Abedin will continue to be, as she always has been, forthcoming and cooperative,” she said.

The original FBI investigation was prompted by the discovery of secret intelligence information in Clinton’s emails. The probe, thought to have been finished in July, seeks to find out how classified information was placed on the unsecure server and whether foreign intelligence services or other hackers were able to steal it through cyber intrusions.

The classified information included some of the most sensitive secrets kept in what are called Special Access Programs, including information on how drone strikes are conducted.
