Weiner was married to top Clinton aide Abedin & convicted of having sexually explicit communications w/ teen girls. In Oct. 2016, FBI found Abedin emails on Weiner’s laptop w/ indications the emails went thru Clinton’s non-“state(dot)gov” system. (2/16)

JW obtained the docs as the result of a September 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the DOJ did not act on two FOIA requests for Anthony Weiner laptop investigation docs, including any Clinton emails found on the laptop. (3/16)

These new FBI documents include an October 3, 2016, email to a FBI official in New York that reads: “Just putting this on the record because of the optics of this case. During the course of my review of a computer seized from Anthony Weiner…” (4/16)

FBI email continued: “…A significant number of these 340000 emails appeared to be between HumaAbedin & HillaryClinton (the latter who appears to have used a number of different email addresses). This is based simply a review of the header info...” (7/16)

In a related case, JW obtained an email revealing fired FBI official Peter Strzok created the initial draft of the Oct. 2016 letter then-FBI Director Comey sent to Congress notifying lawmakers of the discovery of Clinton emails on Weiner’s laptop. (13/16)

According the DOJ’s IG, the FBI’s notification to Congress came a month after the emails were discovered by the FBI on Weiner’s laptop. The IG suggests the delay may have been the result of anti-Trump bias by FBI official Peter Strzok & others. (14/16)

JW President @TomFitton: “These new documents show the FBI knowingly sat on the Clinton emails for over a month before notifying Congress.” (15/16)

JW President @TomFitton: “And even worse, we now know the FBI didn’t even bother to look at the emails, and then again only partially, for weeks. The Clinton email scandal needs to be reviewed again and immediately by the Justice Department.” (16/16)
