Hillary Clinton’s campaign has just taken another hard knock, as the FBI announced Monday it had obtained a warrant to search emails from the former secretary of State’s private and home-based server that were found on the laptop of the disgraced former congressman, Anthony Weiner.

Weiner is still married to Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest and longest-lasting confidantes. But the couple’s estranged, due to Weiner’s many sexting scandals.

The warrant came two days after James Comey, the director of the FBI, told Congress via a letter to Republican leadership of the discovery of the emails on Weiner’s computer – and eight days before Americans head to the voter booths to pick the next president.

The big deal is that sources say the emails were linked to Abedin and that she used this very laptop to send thousands of emails to Clinton. And what do those emails say?

So far, we don’t know.

NBC News has the story:

“The FBI already had a warrant to search Weiner’s laptop, but that only applied to evidence of his allegedly illicit communications with an underage girl.

“Agents will now compare the latest batch of messages with those that have already been investigated to determine whether any classified information was sent from Clinton’s server.

“Comey’s disclosure included few details about what the emails contained. In a letter to Congress, he said the FBI learned ‘of the existence of e-mails that appear to be pertinent” to the Clinton probe, but he added that the agency “cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant.'”

Watch out, Hillary. That sound you hear is the thundering beat of accountability, and it seems to be squeezing in fast.

The warrant means the FBI will be looking at potentially hundreds of thousands of new emails.

The Clinton campaign is furious, demanding Comey conclude the investigation before the election. Donald Trump, meanwhile, called the matter the “single biggest scandal since Watergate.”
