2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCould it be as simple as Outlook?
Huma helped Anthony with his campaign and probably used his computer for that. She may have added one of her email accounts to his Outlook for convenience. Once the campaign was over she didn't delete it and no longer accessed his laptop. FBI would have all those emails from their previous investigation.

(24,689 posts)If you add a new account to Outlook on another computerit will attempt to download all emails on the server. I have done that in the past and its very annoying if all you wanted was to quickly setup an account and check your email. Once done I have had to delete the account to get rid of the copied emails. Looks like Huma didnt do that. Understandable mistake but still a mistake.

It's absolutely criminal that we know anything about this, of course.

(14,742 posts)One of the "sources" put the count at a little over a thousand emails that were of interest.
More likely she either emailed him from a work account about something (venting maybe) or she forwarded them to print. Not a huge number.

(14,742 posts)An initial search of metadata only turned up just over 1000 emails of interest. By that I assume they mean originating or being sent to state.gov or Clintons private server domain.
This whole dust-up is apparently because the NY fbi office got pissed at Washington over an unrelated event and was going to leak the existence of the potential evidence.
A valid question is who is running the fbi, because it doesn't seem to be comey.
LeftInTX
(25,291 posts)No it doesn't seem like Comey is running it.
They should have gotten a warrant weeks ago.

(3,635 posts)that's the problem, that many of the people who work in our various law enforcement agencies (both federal and local) are right wing and would do anything to damage Dems/Hillary.

(937 posts)Doesn't make any sense to print emails in an unsecure location and go through and have them delivered to HRC in a diplomatic pouch by a security agent, Huma is not that dumb

(14,742 posts)But these weren't classified emails. They had other networks for classified docs. I think they called them cables.
So what she was printing was sensitive, but not classified. It wasn't s risk to print them at home.
Anyway, it's all conjecture based on sources without names.

(937 posts)Huma had no problem using the network to email to her yahoo account and why did the kurt eichenwald newsweek article even mention "network technology to be cumbersome" when they are talking about a printer unless they were talking about a Network Printer which can cumbersome. Huma probably had printer attached to her office PC and was printing from web base email because it was easier

I believe Huma. I think Anthony was reading her email's from her account

(108,977 posts)the computer would continue to collect her emails, as if the device belonged to her. Just as it did on her other devices.

(413 posts)I don't understand how someone would really think that Hillary or Huma would email their plans if they were nefarious at all.
In my job I always write my emails so that if they're ever read aloud in court I appear to be a complete angel. That goes for text messages too.

(9,313 posts)... before making any sort of announcement is beyond belief.
And making an announcement before obtaining a warrant is beyond suspicious.
I think it was a calculated move to force through a fatally flawed warrant; a warrant they would never have gotten if any of the interested parties had objected on one of the numerous 4th amendment issues; a warrant they knew they shouldn't even be seeking. (And that they didn't seek for a month.)
Of course, once Comey dropped his bomb (probably a violation of the Hatch Act), it would have been political suicide to object, no matter how obvious the grounds. Right-wingnuts would have had a field day.
