News broke this morning that documents found on a computer shared by Huma Abedin and her estranged husband Anthony Weiner contained close to 650,000 new emails allegedly in a folder marked “Life Insurance.” Rumoured to include the 33,000 Hillary deleted.

Potential blackmail against the Clintons, should Hillary choose to throw Abedin under the bus?

My understanding, is that the Clinton top aide has been put in a tight spot. And here’s why:

A) If she doesn’t cooperate with the FBI on the findings on this shared laptop, she’ll likely be implicated, including Espionage in sharing classified documents sent from her Yahoo email account, and printed out for Hillary.

B) If she divorces her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, he can be forced to testify against her.

Things get dicey, as the election looms. With just over a week to go in the elections, US 18 Code 2071 dictates that if found guilty, Hillary won’t be allowed to hold office in the United States government. Including, but not limited to President elect.

All in all, it should make for an interesting week ahead.

Weinergate part i

I must preface this entry by saying, that the follow topic is one I hoped I’d never have to read, and wished I didn’t have to write, but plan to talks about propaganda in the media with photos like Omran, the Aleppo boy will have to wait for a later time.

Late last night, news emerged that FBI director James Comey had sent a letter to congress to reopen the email scandal case against Hillary Clinton. Slowly news trickled out that her top aides Huma Abedin‘s former husband and Democratic congressman in New York Anthony Weiner was involved in another incident, this time, allegedly sending illicit text messages to a 15 year old girl in North Carolina.

Comey’s letter was to bring notice to the fact, that such emails may have improperly contained classified information, tightly controlled by the government. And while it’s unclear what was in the emails, which are still under review, or whether they had come from Mrs. Clinton’s server, his letter states that the documents “appear to be pertinent.”

As you may remember in his remarks, this reopens the case brought against Clinton, that saw her labeled as ‘extremelly careless’ in their handling of sensitive documents. That this has happened so close to election night, it has left the Clinton team, in the midst of a scandal of his own.

Clinton’s statement made in a news conference shortly after news got out was only to say “We are calling on the F.B.I. to release all the information it has.” Clearly upset that this information has been brought to light less than two weeks before the election. “Let’s get it out.”

Trump, as you might expected, reacted to the news by saying jubilantly at a rally in New Hampshire, “Perhaps, finally justice will be done.”

Part II on this developing case will be up Monday while news still trickles in.
