Carlos Danger may have opened Pandora's Box for Huma and Hillary
[American Thinker] The criminal investigation underway over Anthony Weiner’s alleged child sex infraction has a couple of characteristics that make it especially awkward for Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin, the estranged wife of Weiner and close companion of Hillary.

Ed Timperlake points out to me that in an underage sex investigation, all electronic communications of the investigative target are pursued. This probably led to the grand jury that was announced 11 days ago issuing a subpoena for all of the devices in the possession of Weiner and his family, including Huma. As Lucianne Goldberg quipped, they even seize the Speak & Spell toys in these cases. This grand jury is in New York, possibly less poltiically supervised than the first Hillary email investigation.

Evidently, some of these devices were not turned over in the first investigation and contained "pertinent" emails. We do not know with certainty, but some reports indicate the pertinent emails may have been found on Weiner’s laptop. Recall that the initial investigation did not convene a grand jury and did not therefore have subpoena power. It is possible that Huma Abedin misled the FBI over the existence of pertinent emails on her then-husband’s computing devices.

So what could have been on the laptop Carlos Danger used for sexting?
Con't.

You gumshoes think my sexting and wanking is bad? Here, hold these lollipops while I go into Yahoo. You want BAD, I'll show you BAD.

#1 One aspect that hasn't been properly reported is that the Clinton outfit apparently stored a treasure trove of classified information unencrypted on systems like Yahoo's and Google's email services.

Here are just some pertinent questions:

Within Google and Yahoo who has logical or physical access to these databases?

Do these people have anything like security clearances?

Are they subjected to a security background check?

Is Google's and Yahoo's IT setup (software & hardware) secure? Do they use hardware that might have been tampered with? Are they protected against passive electromagnetic eavesdropping?

etc etc

If Abedin really transferred classified information to Yahoo for "printing" this is, again, an example of the Western political classes' flatworm like stupidity.

With these people at the helm something like SCIF is nothing but a Cargo Cult ritual.

#2 Since it's not going to affect the elections - how is it good news?

#3 perhaps Huma was using Weiner's laptop (ha ha) as a passive backup without Weiner knowing about it

or perhaps, Weiner had cut and pasted all files to his laptop one day when he had Huma's laptop at home

doesn't make a lot of sense but then these are the 'elite'

#4 Weiner reminds me of the Congressman played by Burt Reynolds in the movie Striptease.

#5 Not to be Cpt Obvious, but Yahoo revealed this Sept that at least 500 million of their email accounts were hacked. If Huma was using her Yahoo account to archive State Dept emails, it is a good possibility that state secrets were compromised.
