Huma Abedin Fwd Beest's Classified Emails To Husband, Anthony Weiner [VIDEO]
[Daily Caller] Huma Abedin forwarded Hillary Clinton’s emails, some of them classified, to her disgraced husband, Anthony Weiner, FBI Director James Comey revealed on Wednesday.

"[Weiner’s] then-spouse, Huma Abedin, appears to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to forward to him, I think, to print out for her so she could deliver them to the secretary of state," Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee during an oversight hearing.

Comey reopened the FBI investigation into Clinton’s email practices in October after agents discovered that a laptop owned by Weiner and Abedin contained Clinton’s emails. The laptop was seized as part of a separate investigation into Weiner’s contacts with a 15-year-old girl.

Asked whether Weiner, a former New York congressman, read the emails Abedin forwarded to him, Comey said he did not think that was the case.

"I don’t think we have been able to interview him because he has pending criminal problems of other sorts. But my understanding is that his role would be to print them out as a matter of convenience," said Comey.

This Comey fellow is certainly trusting, isn't he? Nobody had any intents or deliberate obfuscations...it just all "happened" to them

#2 When Huma left him and threatened to take their kid Carlos Danger made the laptop available to investigators which damaged Huma and Hillary. Just an FYI.

#3 Forwarded for printing? I'm supposed to believe that?

#4 So the residual was on at least 2 public email servers?

#5 And that's might be the reason that Huma is still with us.

#6 Are they really that stupid or was this actually a scheme to bait and feed disinformation to foreign powers?

If this was a scheme then Hillary giving her maid access to classified information was probably part of it as well.

#7 By chance, does Anthony Weiner know Julian Assange? Just asking.

Leads one to wonder what they must have on him.

#9 "You want hard copies? Heh heh.. heh heh"
"Shut up, Anthony, and just do it"

P.S.: Ever notice you never see Weiner and Beavis in the same room?

#10 Forwarded for printing? I'm supposed to believe that?

I believe it. You expect Hillary to learn how to print her own emails? You expect her to just read it from the screen? No. She is among the class of supposedly highly intelligent and powerful individuals who are absolutely computer illiterate and actually not all that intelligent either. She certainly cannot be bothered to perform mundane tasks like printing her own "hard copies" when a chump like Weiner is there to do it for her.

Just like her chump friend John Podesta, a supposedly highly intelligent and powerful individual, who couldn't even recognize a phishing scam that most 13-year-old kids would have laughed at. He got hacked and tried to blame it on the Russians but when you're that stupid you have only yourself to blame.

What's really scary is that these people have been in positions of great power and they were very close to getting into power again.

#11 Clinton's emails were found in a file named "Insurance" on Wiener's laptop, after leaving him. Huma may not have known they were saved but ignorance is no excuse for jeopardizing national security.

#12 But he said no charges were filed with respect to Abedin because the FBI “didn’t have any indication she had had a sense what she was doing was violation of the law.”

This guy is so full of it. The law does not require intent when breaking the law--ignorance of the law not generally a defense.

Absolutely correct! A reading of the US Code makes it very clear. Unfortunately, they [Comey & fellow conspirators] continue to incorrectly site 'intent.'

#14 If I heard what Comey said yesterday correctly, his public admission of what Huma did by itself constitutes adequate justification for her arrest and prosecution. Why is there no action by DOJ, since a failure to act on so obvious a case could only suggest special treatment. Step up Sessions !

#15 To my mind forward for printing means create hardcopy that can be hidden somewhere while computers and hard drives are destroyed.

Hidden probably intended to protect Huma from the Hillary if Hillary ever throw her under the bus.

#16 I am an IT professional that works for a company that deals with personal information of our customers and has a fraction of the budget of whatever agency provides security for federal email systems.

I find it impossible to believe that there is not some sort of data loss prevention system in place that would make it impossible for a forwarded classified document to be printed out on someone's home computer.

We apply this type of encryption to data on a regular basis using industry standard sytems that are used by millions of IT departments around the world.

#17 The Clintons betrayed our country, and our security agencies are going to cover for them into perpetuity rather than doing their damn job.
