The controversy over FBI Director James Comey’s announcement of a new review into Hillary Clinton’s private email server just 11 days before the recent presidential election moved into federal court Tuesday with a hearing focused on the search warrant that gave FBI agents access to Clinton emails found on the computer of Anthony Weiner, the former congressman and husband of a top Clinton aide.
Los Angeles lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg, best known for recovering Jewish-owned art looted by the Nazis, hired lawyers to file a lawsuit last week in an attempt to unseal that search warrant and related affidavits. “Countless American citizens, including Secretary Clinton, believe that Comey’s announcement and the reopening of the investigation might have single-handedly swayed the election,” states the lawsuit, which was filed in Manhattan federal court on December 7.
“Access to the search warrant is critical for the public to learn the basis for the reopening of the investigation to ensure the FBI acted in a manner consistent with its constitutional obligations under the First Amendment,” the suit says.
On Tuesday afternoon in a courtroom in downtown Manhattan, federal judge Kevin Castel said he may make public the search warrant and related documents from the search of Weiner’s computer. (While examining Weiner’s computer during their probe into his sexts to an underage girl, FBI agents found emails between Clinton and his estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.) “Director Comey described that as an unrelated case,” the judge said in court, indicating he might not let the ongoing status of the Weiner probe prevent disclosure of the search warrant.

The smarmy bastard was wiggling in his chair with excitement, bragging that he KNEW there was a surprise coming.
When pressed by Blitzer, he started squirming, saying his glee was the coming brilliant TV ads that were going to run. Lying, fucking sack of shit. Lock him up!
