A Laptop, A Wiener, A Huma, and 2 Clintons
Remember, Abedin is said to have cooperated in the Clinton e-mails investigation and sat for a lengthy interview with FBI agents. The agents asked her about her e-mail practices. Assuming they asked basic questions, as agents are trained to do, they would have methodically itemized the computers and e-mail accounts she used. Yet, the Abedin/Weiner computer, which is said to contain 650,000 e-mails (an unknown number of which are relevant to the Clinton investigation), was not acquired by the bureau in connection with the Clinton investigation. It was seized in an unrelated investigation of Weiner, reportedly involving his alleged “sexting” with a teenage minor.
Why did the FBI agents on the Clinton e-mails investigation fail to acquire and search this computer months earlier? The question becomes more pressing in light of the Washington Examiner’s report that the FBI failed to ask not only Abedin but other Clinton aides to surrender their computers, smartphones, or other communications devices.
Now, there could be a good explanation, at least in connection with some Clinton aides. If, after a reasonably thorough investigation, the FBI had found no indication that potentially classified information was transmitted or stored on a particular device, there’d be no need to seize it. Let’s say X is a Clinton staffer.
Let’s also say the FBI finds that X appears only to have used her government e-mail account for official business; that X did not have an account on the clintonemail.com domain; that whenever Clinton or other government officials e-mailed X, they addressed the e-mail to X’s state.gov account; and that X was cooperative when interviewed and convincingly said she never used her private e-mail for government business. Under those circumstances, it would be reasonable not to ask for the surrender of X’s private cellphone or computers.
Let’s now consider, though, the case we actually have. Several Clinton staffers appear to have sent and received e-mails about government business on private devices and private e-mail accounts. A number of those e-mail exchanges involved classified intelligence. It seems like a no-brainer to me that these devices should have been seized and searched. Why was this not done? There are at least four reasons, none of them good.
First, the Obama Justice Department under Loretta Lynch denied the FBI’s Clinton e-mails investigators access to the grand jury. The grand jury’s power to compel production of evidence and testimony is the source of much of the FBI’s power to convince people to be cooperative. Defanged by DOJ, investigators were forced to negotiate and cajole when they should have been able to demand. That makes it much harder to investigate. It undoubtedly drummed into the agents the message that they should not press too many requests for the voluntary surrender of items the owners would not want to part with — and no one wants to give up personal laptops and smartphones. If a request made by an agent was denied, the agent could have no confidence that the Justice Department would back him.
Second, the Good Ship Clinton overflows with lawyers. It is also very close to the Obama Justice Department (many Obama-administration lawyers were once Clinton-administration lawyers). Lawyers know that the FBI worries about being accused of violating attorney-client privileged communications. They also know that the Obama Justice Department is indulgent of extravagant claims about what the attorney-client privilege shields from disclosure. Lawyers’ devices are thus a big hassle for agents, and they no doubt shy away from asking for them unless it’s patently necessary (as it was, for example, with the laptops of Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, since those computers were used to store and vet all of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails). And when you start shying away from seeking access to the computers of important subjects (such as Mills) because you don’t want to deal with lawyer complications, it becomes much easier to rationalize not seeking the devices of other subjects. Once it is established by habit that obtaining computers is not a priority, you stop asking.
Third, it’s never good to compartmentalize an investigation. In this case, the classified e-mails investigation has apparently been severed from the Clinton Foundation investigation, as if they were completely separate and unrelated. When obviously related matters are joined together, there is a broader basis to demonstrate probable cause that evidentiary items, such as computers, are relevant and should be seized. But that advantage is lost when what should be one investigation is divided into two or more. If you are an agent investigating the classified e-mails case, you are not going to make efforts to acquire a computer that might be very relevant to the Clinton Foundation investigation but only marginally tied to the classified-information probe. When an investigation is artificially carved up, agents do not see the big picture: Things that ought to be acquired end up falling through the cracks.
Fourth and finally, there is the enervating effect of working on an investigation that agents strongly suspect is not going to result in charges. Even as the agents on the classified-information investigation gradually assembled compelling evidence, they had to know that the president and the Justice Department were very unenthusiastic about the case. President Obama talked the investigation down, going out of his way to say Mrs. Clinton would never do anything to harm national security. Justice Department officials leaked the same message to the press.
Put yourself in the shoes of FBI agents who witness things they’ve never seen before: subjects of the investigation given immunity from prosecution and then allowed to appear as lawyers for other subjects; Justice Department lawyers more accommodating of defense lawyers than of FBI agents; witnesses who lie to the FBI given immunity rather than being arrested and squeezed for cooperation. The agents see the handwriting on the wall that their hard work is going to come to nothing. An agent no doubt asks himself: “Why should I push to acquire this computer? If DOJ wanted me to have it, they’d let me subpoena it; if they wanted to make the case, some of these suspects would already be in cuffs.”
This is an understandable attitude, but it’s not an acceptable one. The FBI is not just the nation’s premier investigative agency; it is also our domestic-security service. Wholly apart from whether a computer contains evidence that can be used to prosecute a case, that computer has become a threat to national security if — as a private device that is not hardened against espionage and operates on networks that are not hardened against espionage — it is likely to contain classified information. Even if no one is indicted, the hacking or dissemination of the intelligence on the computer could damage national security.
The reports of the FBI’s investigation that have been made public indicate that there could be dozens of computers and other communications devices which may be storing classified information, but which the FBI has neither seized nor made plans to try to obtain. If that is true, it is inexplicable. That the Justice Department and senior FBI officials have adopted a theory that undermines prosecution of crimes involving mishandling of intelligence is beside the point.
It also raises another question: Is the Abedin/Weiner laptop the last one? Or will late discoveries continue to rock Camp Clinton and roil our politics?

Anthony Weiner before his wedding to a Devoted Muslim Huma Abedin converted to Islam.
The Abedin Clan
Huma Abedin who married Anthony Weiner in Islam first and then the fake wedding Bill Clinton performed for the Muslim Brotherhood member after to throw smoke over the Sharia compliant Huma.
Anthony Weiner before his wedding to a Devoted Muslim Huma converted to Islam. Therefore he is no longer Jewish even though he states he is still Jewish.
Unlike a Jewish wife who would stand by her man Abedin had thrown the Weiner under the hot dog roll and took off the mustard stating he is a disgrace. Disgrace to whom? Weiner has exposed himself more then David Bowie in the movie the Labyrinth. At least David Bowie is handsome and had a good figure along with the package he hid under his spandex.
Huma has stated in the past 3 months that her husband was the one who forced her to take money from the State Department during her child labor, her pregnancy, etc plus he forced her to become part of the Clinton Foundation and he forced her to be part of the company that placed the servers in Hillary basement so that she and Hillary could send and received top secret emails . This was all the Jews fault. Anthony became the Muslims Scapegoat. There was always hate and a plan to blame the stupid Jews who was struck by love that someone would actually marry the slime bag. So the Convert from Judaism to Islam Slime bag married a Muslim Shariah Compliant Slime bag.
Now both Slime bags are separated and looks like a divorce is in the future. Will they get a Islamic Divorce first and then a American one. All I know since neither one is Jewish and it will not be in a Jewish court divorce and Huma will not receive a Get. Anthony will have to convert back to Judaism. But the question is do we really want him back into the Tribe? His child is not Jewish but Muslim since Huma is not Jewish. It is a win win for Islam but also a win win for Judaism since we got rid of the slime bag Weiner.

The Innocent Dead.
On the Mount of Olive there is no rest for the Innocent--- Dead. Their last place, their last home, their tomb of eternal rest has been . In the past two weeks ninety graves have been desecrations by "peaceful" Muslims that Obama has been sending money (250 Million to Gaza and 250 Million to the West Bank) every six months since Obama has been in office. The first check Obama wrote was to both Gaza and the West Bank supposingly to be given to NON GOVERNMENT groups. Hamas is a Non Government Group but a Terrorist Group. With that money Hamas was able to build tunnel similar to the tunnels from Mexico to the USA under border walls, just like the illegals from Mexico. There is electric, water, sleeping areas just like the tunnels built in just like the tunnels build by the "Illegals" from Mexico. We have to look at what is happening in both Israel and in the U.S. A.
We have been told by a former CIA agent who hates Jews , hates Hitler and feels Hitler was correct. his name is Michael F. Scheuer (born 1952) is a former CIA intelligence officer, American blogger, author, historian, foreign policy critic, and political analyst. He is currently an adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Center for Peace and Security Studies. One of his assignments during his 22-year career was serving as Chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station (aka "Alec Station") (the Osama bin Laden tracking unit at theCounterterrorist Center) from 1996 to 1999. He also served as Special Advisor to the Chief of Alec Station from September 2001 to November 2004. .
In several of his video on YouTube he praises Osama Bin Laden and called him a true citizen to the United States. No wonder Bin Laden wasn' found during Schener's watch. This Scheuer was also part of the CIA team under Bill Clinton and now we have his wife Hillary running for the highest office in this country , the Presidency. Is she qualified to be President is another question? I beleive she is not/ She surrounded herself with terrorist friends of Islam , Her leading anti Israel , Jew hater is Huma Abedin Wiener who married Anthony Wiener a convert to Islam. They were married in a public Civil ceremony by Bill Clinton as a coverup for their Islamic Conversion and marriage by an Iman. Islam does not take long to convert. Their is no formal classes or formal training like Obama had to go through to convert to his form of Christianity
It is not hard to convert to Islam , It can even be done over the phone as long a there is another Muslim hearing you accepting Islam. The word Islam means Submission not peace. The word Muslim means one who submits not one who is peaceful as they want you to think.
How to become a Muslim Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process. All that a person has to do is to say a sentence called the Testimony of Faith (Shahada), which is pronounced as:
I'd Dump the Israelis Tomorrow --Ex-CIA Michael Scheuer Tells Congress
This is a Muslim Convert? This is a Professor teaching our children in college? This is a Jew / Israeli Hater! He supported Bin Ladin. He supported all those who died in 9/11 and 7/7 .
Blow is British History . This is Islamic Hatered Terrorism happened long before Israel was established. So what is your excuse now Michael Scheuer? Other then being a Nazi/Muslim lover and a Jew Hater!

How to become a Muslim Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process. All that a person has to do is to say a sentence called the Testimony of Faith (Shahada), which is pronounced as:
I testify “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.”
These Arabic words mean, “There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” Once a person says the Testimony of Faith (Shahada) with conviction and understanding its meaning, then he/she has become a Muslim.
The first part, “There is no true deity but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. The second part means that Muhammad was a true Prophet sent by God to humankind.
To be a Muslim, one should also:
- Believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him.
- Believe that the Judgment Day (Resurrection Day) is true and will come.
- Believe in the prophets that God sent and the books He revealed, and in His angels.
- Accept Islam as his/her religion.
- Not worship anything nor anyone except God.
It is that easy!
Now as for Obama I called the his Church he was suppose to convert in and it wasn't as simple as becoming a Muslim. I spoke one of the pastors at the Trinity United Church of Christ. This is an African Church I was told. So I told the person who answered I am African American since my family was from Egypt. I was told all you have to do is:
1. Go to 2-3 services
2. Go to 2-3 Sunday School Adult Classes
3. Walk the aisle
4. and at the end of the aisle pick up your Conversion Certificate given by the pastor of the day.
Easy ? Yep. So I asked Do I have to give up Islam and Allah?
I was told "Hunny this is America You don't have to give up anything. We "convert" many Muslims because they can not get jobs as a Muslim. Majority of the members of this Church are Muslim . Most Members of the Nation of Islam".
I asked the final question "Is this how Barack Hussein Obama converted" Click
Lets get back to the main topic of Hamas Muslim who are disturbing the resting places of the dead. This article appeared a few days ago. This is what America has to look forward to if we continue to allow these Terrorist or as they like to call themselves Freedom Fighters. So tell me what does a "Freedom Fighter" accomplish in desecrating graves? These are copying the motions of Mohammad and his mighty thugs who rapped piliged and destroy anything that was in his way and forced conversion with the sword, took women as war booty, castrated little boys and made them into sex slaves. This is your peaceful Islam and the perfect man!
Ninety Graves Desecrated in 14 Days – and No Arrests
Rabbi Lubinsky, who heads the International Committee for Defense of the Mount of Olives, says it's time for Israelis to wake up.
First Publish: 6/28/2015, 10:24 PM
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/197395#.VZE_PZc8V1p
Rabbi Menachem Lubinsky, Chairman of the International Committee for Defense of the Mount of Olives, called Sunday for Israelis to recognize the importance of the Mount of Olives Cemetery and “to wake up” and realize that "if they don't protect their past, they won't have their future either.”
In the last two weeks, there have been 90 desecrations of graves in the Mount of Olives, he said, 50 of them in one part of the Afghan section. There were 300 incidents of rock throwing in eastern Jerusalem in one month – and no arrests, he added.
On the positive side, the rabbi noted that the new Religious Affairs Minister, David Azoulay (Shas), has allotted half of his budget for protection of the cemetery, and the new Minister of Internal Security, Gilad Erdan (Likud), has toured the cemetery and made a commitment to protect it.
The cemetery is “the Jews' Arlington Cemetery,” Rabbi Lubinsky said, and holds 3,000 years of Jewish history. “We need to tell people that this is Jewish,” he stressed. “Every inch of that cemetery is Jewish.”

HUMA AND HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT.....ARE YOU READY?????
Hillary Rodman Clinton wants Jewish money to finance her bid for the Presidency of the United States of America. YET! she deny's Jews to have their own homeland by blaming everything on the Jews or should I say Zionist or Israelis. Zionist is a code word for any Jew who longs for their homeland and to return to their homeland.
I know Hillary is an anti Semite. I worked the Clinton Gore campaign and met Hillary many times. She knows you only when you give over $10,000 ... that is a Thank You note. under that amount you get a bumper sticker. That is like saying F..K you.
Hillary of course lies and collects Jewish money from Sheldon Abelson , Stan Lee, Barbara Streisand other well known Jews. Her "Get Ready for Hillary" campaign have been calling them for more money so she could be President and destroy Israel. If Sheldon Abelson , Stan Lee, Barbara Streisand other well known Jews want to give money for a campaign they could have given it to me. At least I stand with Israel and I am Jewish.
Who is behind all this? Well certainly not me. But a name I keep bring up HUMA ABEDIN WEINER a Muslim with a Converted to Islam husband named Anthony Weiner's . There is nothing Kosher about Anthony or his wife since Anthony converted to Islam. Huma is the daughter and sister of very high officials in the Muslim Brotherhood. And I suspect Huma was the leak as well as Hillary on the mission of the Navy Seals when they fired upon and then terrorist murdered the Seals. That folks is another story between Hillary and Obama.
In Hillary's book she admits the she feels Israel is at fault. So what does that mean. If Israel is at fault then all Jews are at fault. Maybe Hillary will begin her own special chat about American Jews... From the Ocean to the Rivers blame the Jews as the Killers.
FEMA has already built concentration camps under Clinton. Who are they for?
SO ARE YOU READY FOR HILLARY ... I'M NOT

Hillary draws flak for writing that Palestinians are under Jewish 'occupation' as reviewers continue to shred her book
- Hillary Clinton writes that in 1981 when she visited Jericho, Palestinians 'were denied ... dignity and self-determination'
- 'I got my first glimpse of life under occupation for Palestinians,' she writes in her memoir, 'Hard Choices'
- NJ Gov. Chris Christie took heat in March for referring to the West Bank as 'occupied territories' during a speech to wealthy Jewish GOP donors
- Christie apologized, but an adviser to the 'Ready for Hillary' presidential campaign PAC insists Clinton has said nothing she should feel sorry for
- Palestinian partisans see territory on the West Bank of the Jordan River as their land and claim it's 'occupied' by Israel
- Israelis and most American Jews see them as 'disputed,' insisting that there was no Palestinian state to 'occupy' after the Six-Day war of 1967
- The contentious issue and its semantics are at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict
PUBLISHED: 01:11 EST, 10 June 2014 | UPDATED: 01:11 EST, 10 June 2014
Hillary Clinton is stepping somewhere between meshuga and chutzpah with a lament in her new book
about how Palestinians in Israel's West Bank are living 'under occupation.'
In the memoir, due in stores on Tuesday, Clinton recounts a 1981 trip she took with her husband Bill between his nonconsecutive terms as governor of Arkansas.
'When we left the city and visited Jericho, in the West Bank,' she writes in her book Hard Choices, 'I got my first glimpse of life under occupation for Palestinians, who were denied the dignity and self-determination that Americans take for granted.'
Those are fighting words for any U.S. politician who hopes to court American Jewish voters.
The last elected official to make the same gaffe was Gov. Chris Christie, the constantly embattled New Jersey Republican.
Dumb choices? 'Crossfire' co-host S.E. Cupp read aloud a passage from Hillary Clinton's new book on Monday, which describes the former secretary of state's feelings about Israel's alleged 'occupation' of Palestinian lands
A memoir by former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state Hillary Clinton hits bookstores on Tuesday, and critics are heavily dissecting her views with an eye toward 2016
Politically correct: Israel has built Jewish settlements on a little more than 1 per cent of the disputed West Bank territories, but it has become commonplace for politicians to refer to Tel Aviv
as a wholesale 'occupier' of Palestinian lands
Christie recalled during a March 29 speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition that he had taken 'a helicopter ride from the occupied territories across' in 2012 'and just felt personally how extraordinary that was to understand, the military risk that Israel faces every day.'
With the third-rail of Middle Eastern politics sparking, Christie made a hat-in-hand apology the following day to Sheldon Adelson, the über-wealthy conservative casino
owner and serial campaign financier who had organizer the meeting.
But Clinton isn't expected to follow suit.
During a broadcast of CNN's 'Crossfire' program
on Monday, a senior adviser to the Ready For Hillary political action committee, which is laying the groundwork for a 2016 presidential campaign, insisted that Clinton won't be falling on her sword.

- Hillary Clinton's memoirs: Obama admitted that slamming Bill as a racist during presidential campaign was 'not a real thing'
- Revealed: How Hillary Clinton was AGAINST the terror trade for Bergdahl as secretary of state but now supports Obama's 'tough' decision
'Does she owe Israel an apology for using the same language that Chris Christie used and then had to apologize to pro-Israel voters and pro-Israel groups?' asked S.E. Cupp, the conservative half of the show's left-right anchor desk.
'Hillary Clinton is going to stand by the words in her book
,' said Tracy Sefl, the Clinton supporter. 'She is not going to apologize for something she need not apologize for.'
Cupp wasn't impressed.
'Then you think that she believes that the Palestinian territory is "occupied"?' Cupp asked. 'She's not going to apologize for that, and she asserted that on purpose?'
'I'm sure that when we all actually read the book and listen to her give these interviews, her words will stand for themselves,' Sefl shot back.
'She said it twice in the book,' chimed in Tim Miller, executive director of the conservative America Rising PAC.
Miller co-authored an opposition-research-heavy book for
his organization, and released it to coincide with Clinton's. The title: Failed Choices
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made a major gaffe at the March 20, 2014 Republican Jewish Coalition spring leadership meeting by referring to parts of the West Bank as 'occupied territories'
Apologies: Christie asked casino
mogul and GOP super-donor Sheldon Adelson for forgiveness after the screw-up, but Hillary Clinton's surrogates don't seem to think she should apologize to anyone
Trump card: Clinton counts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among her public supporters, with Bibi saying in a 2012 tribute video that she 'is a strong and determined leader; she's principled and pragmatic'
Co-host Paul Begala, a veteran strategist from Bill Clinton's White House days, insisted that the former first lady 'is very, very strong on' Israel.
'If that's the tree you guys want to bark up, I wish you luck,' he said.
Cupp asked Sefl, 'Does (Hillary Clinton) owe Israel an apology for using the same language that Chris Christie used, then he had to apologize to pro-Israel voters and pro-Israel groups?”
On Middle Eastern issues, Secretary of State Clinton painted a centrist self-portrait during her 2009-2013 time in office, and avoided clinging tightly either to Israel or to the Palestinian Authority.
But on the thorny issue of West Bank settlements
, she wore President Barack Obama's policy like a shield.
In a May 2009 joint press conference with Egypt's foreign minister, she said the White House wanted 'to see a stop to settlements – not some settlements, not outposts, not natural growth exceptions. ... And we intend to press that point.'
Palestinians living in West Bank cities like Hebron, Jericho and Nablus believe they have a sovereign claim to landlocked territories west of the Jordan river, saying that Israel is 'occupying' Palestinian lands.
Israel's position is that 'Palestine' hasn't existed as a geopolitical entity since the British government ended its civil administration there in 1948. At most, Tel Aviv says, the land is 'disputed,' not occupied.
And that, Israel insists, means the land's status must be negotiated, not mandated at the barrel of a gun or handed over under threats from Hamas and other anti-Israel organizations that the U.S. sees as terror groups.
Tracey Sefl, a senior advisor to the Ready For Hillary PAC, insisted that Clinton 'is not going to apologize for something she need not apologize for'
Palestinians threw stones and burned tires on
Friday as they clashed with Israeli security forces about Jewish 'occupation' of Palestinian-claimed land in the West Bank
Tim Miller, executive director of the America Rising PAC, mocked Clinton's new book
this week with an opposition-research-heavy book titled 'Failed Choices'
In 1948 the West Bank was declared part of Jordan, but that country relinquished control of it 40 years later, stripping West Bank Arabs of Jordanian citizenship.
Israel has built settlements
on just over 1 per cent of the West Bank and maintains civilian and military control of about 7 per cent of the territory overall.
Armed clashes between Israeli soldiers and pro-Palestinian protesters are common in other areas of the West Bank where Israel and the Palestinian Authority share control.
Clinton, Begala pointed out Monday, won praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a 2012 tribute video prepared for a public forum on Middle Eastern issues.
'I've just had the opportunity to work with her to achieve a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas,' Netanyahu says in the video.
'Hillary Clinton is a strong and determined leader, she's principled and pragmatic. ... As someone who knows a thing or two about political comebacks, I can tell you that I don't think we've heard the last of Hillary Clinton.'
But the maybe-running Hillary's book has already become more
of a liability than an asset, with news networks procuring advance copies and interviewers leaning on her for news.
In one embarrassing interview with ABC News, she complained that she and President Clinton were 'dead broke' when they left the White House in 2000.
Since then she has raked in $8 million in book earnings, and now charges $200,000 for public speeches.
