Could 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.

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 a likely explanation.

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

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.

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.

No it doesn't seem like Comey is running it.
They should have gotten a warrant weeks ago.

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.

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

Because Clinton preferred to read documents on paper rather than on a screen, emails and other files were often printed out and provided to her either at her office or home, where they were delivered in a diplomatic pouch by a security agent. Abedin, like many State Department officials, found the government network technology to be cumbersome, and she had great trouble printing documents there,

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.

If she had trouble printing at work, then it's rather clear she printed at home.

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

Abedin has told people she is unsure how her emails could have ended up on a device she viewed as her husband’s computer, Abedin also said she was not a regular user of the computer, and even when she agreed to turn over emails to the State Department for federal records purposes, her lawyers did not search it for materials, not believing any of her messages to be there.

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

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

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.

... 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.
