LOL
They already have the laptop in custody. I am pretty sure She won't roll over on this one. If the reports are correct and it's 650,000 e-mails... Uma had the entire server backed up on her personal device.
Think about that one for a moment.
All the e-mails. In their original form.
I would not be surprised to learn of Uma's suicide in the coming weeks.

Best Move: Abedin Should Give FBI Permission to Search Her Email Immediately.
Apparently, the FBI has no warrant to search through Abedin's emails that they found on Weiner's computer. They're waiting for one (which they might not even get).
Two things should be done immediately:
1. Abedin should give the FBI permission to search through her emails, with a legal agreement that they won't disclose any of the content that is not found to be criminal. (ie-For the last 30 years, the Republican method of attacking the Clintons is to get permission to dig through their stuff in search of something criminal, but if you find nothing criminal you just keep digging until you find something EMBARRASSING.) This would show that Camp Clinton has nothing to hide, and nothing to fear.
2. Lynch should order Comey to release more details, and hold a press conference about what he does and DOES NOT know. And what he did and didn't know when he sent out the letter. Under questioning, he will be forced to admit that he has not 're-opened' the Clinton investigation, and does not have any reason to suspect that there is anything criminal in nature on Abedin's computer.
Oh- yes. Please make it worse and have the head of O'Barry's Justice Department deny a warrant. That would bring down the entire government.

1. The only question to ask is this: How do emails APPEAR to be anything, when you don't have legal authority to look at them?
Once again. The warrant was to search Wiener's computer for evidence in his pedo case. The FBI finds evidence of another crime. THEY HAVE TO seek a new warrant to use that in an investigation. Oh, don't worry, my little DUmpmonkiez, a very clever FBI guy already knows whats on them. Now they just need a warrant to use it.

5. Exactly right. They have no probable cause to look into her email.
And, under normal circumstances, no judge would give them a warrant to look. But if they don't get one, the GOP can continue to spin about what MIGHT be in there. That political hit method is almost as 'good' as the method of hoping that somebody pleads the 5th, and then you can call them up before your committee every other day and accuse them of things, and listen to them plead the 5th in response. It's the best political theatre you can get.
If in investigation of a crime you find evidence of a new unrelated crime you can use that evidence to get a warrant to use that in a new investigation.

25. The certainly have a warrant to look at everything on the device
But it's a warrant to look for evidence in another investigation, the one that involves her husband sexting a 15 year old across state lines.
This is pretty common for an investigation with a warrant for one thing to uncover evidence of a totally different crime. What has to happen is a new warrant for evidence related to that investigation must be issued so they can dig deeper into what they found.
This almost certainly will be given by a judge because they found this new evidence in the course of executing a lawful search warrant.
Let me give you an example . Let's say I had reasonable suspicion enough that a person with a restraining order against them had firearms and had arranged with a friend to help obtain them. I went to the judge to get a search warrant. The search warrant will only be for items related to the crime- so I would put firearms, ammunition, firearms accessories and any form of paper or electronic document to communication related to possessing or obtaining firearms.
Now I serve this warrant and since the judge signed off on electronic correspondence related to obtaining a firearm I examine the persons electronic devices. In the course of examining his computer I find images that appear to be child pornagraphy. I immediately halt the search of that device, secure it so that he can't tamper with it, and go to the judge asking for a new warrant to search for child porn.
That's pretty much where we are with this.
This ^ is not my mole. Promise.

4. I don't think this is going to produce anything and it does not convince me to vote for A sexual assaulter who is a fraud. BTW, already voted but I am a never Trumper, those are the one who believe everything FOX says.

16. No they have not had this for months.
She swore under oath but since they started investigating Weiner they found a new device (shared by her and Weiner). So her oath was not true. This is a new device that the FBI was unaware of and she had said did not exist.
She lied to the FBI in a criminal investigation.
1) False Statement to FBI
2) Obstruction
3) Violations of information act concerning sensitive information
4) (once they find evidence of e-mails destroyed or changed) Destruction of evidence.
Who knows what other crimes are in there...

15. The FBI has turned into a partisan organization
They are not to be trusted. I wouldn't give them anything unless via court order.

27. Even if she agrees…
…the FBI will surely say that there are so many, they can't possibly examine them all until, oh, 11/9. In the meantime, scandal! Scandal! Scandal!!!
650,000 e-mails by a report. Yeah- this will take a while.

28. I can see how that might be a strategy.
I'm not sure I'd trust an agreement that nothing be made public.
If it were me personally, I wouldn't give the FBI permission for anything. Just on principle. Fourth Amendment and all.
I'd be more likely to make them get a subpoena. And appeal anything and everything possible.
Yes, fight it until the last possible moment... which happens to be in 9 days...
