The Subpoena That Rocked The Election Is Legal Garbage, Legal Experts Say
(end snip)The warrant assumes that the mere existence of emails from or to Hillary Clinton is probable cause that a crime occurred.
The warrant connected to the FBI search that Hillary Clinton says cost her the election shouldn’t have been granted, three of the nation’s top legal experts, who reviewed the do ent released on Tuesday, told The Huffington Post.
FBI Director James Comey shook up the presidential race 11 days before the election by telling Congress the agency had discovered new evidence in its previously closed investigation into the email habits of Clinton, who was significantly ahead in the polls at the time.
When Comey made the announcement, the bureau did not have a warrant to search a laptop that agents believed might contain evidence of criminal activity. The FBI set out to rectify that two days later, on October 30th, when agents applied for a warrant to search the laptop, which was already in the FBI’s possession. The FBI had seized the computer as part of an investigation into former Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
Clinton’s lead in the polls shrank in the wake of the announcement. Then, just days ahead of election, the FBI announced its search was complete, and it had found no evidence of criminal activity. Clinton officials believe that second announcement damaged her as much as, or more than, the first, by enraging Trump supporters who believed the fix was in.

Scalia elected dubya, Comey elected Trash, what great ing banana republic, mythologizing itself as a democracy.
and Trash will hurt the world just as bad a dubya, esp Trash's voters.
& ain't a damn thing you can do about it, Bouts. Trump set Bannon in a room= "Find a way." He found a killing ground twixt Minnesota & New York.
I never thought you'd make a mistake again. But, you did. ha ha.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I read that Comey found his own suicide note in Hillary's email.
They don't call them October surprises for no good reason.
Was that harry Reid? Does anyone actually believe anything he says when interviewed?
I simply cannot believe how many lib s are out there. Anyone who is so lax with classified information simply has no moral right to be president of the USA. Maybe president of the USDA, but not the USA.
What have conservatives, Repugs done for the 99% in the past 40 years?
Old man trying to make jokes. That wasn't funny in the least.
Probably because you are totally ignorant of the context of the joke.
Trust me, that's not it.
*Reck frantically searching wikipedia*
Go rent a sense of humor. You'll dig it.
This is pretty much my take. 4th amendment protection is not a fishing license.
Just know that no one has to answer to any of you forum cucks, nothing will happen to coney because trump is in charge now
Ben Feuer, chairman of the California Appellate Law Group and a former clerk on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, told HuffPost that the argument the agent makes for the search warrant “probably would be enough for a ‘reasonable person’ to conclude the laptop could contain evidence of criminal activity, especially given the high-profile nature of the investigation.”
That’s largely because probable cause is a relatively broad standard, Feuer said. As long as law enforcement can articulate why a search, based on evidence they already have, would likely reveal evidence of a crime, “they are probably going to get a warrant,” Feuer argued. That’s especially the case if the investigation is high-profile or if the target is a public servant, as courts tend to favor evidence-collection in those cases.

OP.
It's over.
Donald Trump will be our president. This is the way it works. We have a divided country on a coin flip. It's done. We have an extraordinarily unpopular president elect either way.
Move on.
I agree with everything except the coin flip (2000 was a coin flip). Didn't Trump flip 6 Obama states?
It's not over yet.
(Washington DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding today’s ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a case that would require Secretary of State John Kerry to seek the help of the attorney general in recovering additional Hillary Clinton emails:
The courts seem to be fed up with the Obama administration’s refusal to enforce the rule of law on the Clinton emails. Today’s appeals court ruling rejects the Obama State Department’s excuses justifying its failure to ask the attorney general, as the law requires, to pursue the recovery of the Clinton emails. This ruling means that the Trump Justice Department will have to decide if it wants to finally enforce the rule of law and try to retrieve all the emails Clinton and her aides unlawfully took with them when they left the State Department.
The appellate ruling reverses a decision in which the District Court declared “moot” a Judicial Watch’s lawsuit challenging the failure of Secretary of State John Kerry to comply with the Federal Records Act (FRA) in seeking to recover the emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other high level State Department officials who used non-“state.gov” email accounts to conduct official business (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. John F. Kerry (No. 16-5015)). According to the FRA, if an agency head becomes aware of “any actual, impending, or threatened unlawful removal . . . or destruction of [agency] records,” he or she “shall notify the Archivist . . . and with the assistance of the Archivist shall initiate action through the Attorney General for the recovery of [those] records.”
An appellate panel found:
Appellants sought the only relief provided by the Federal Records Act—an enforcement action through the Attorney General. But nothing the Department did (either before or after those complaints were filed) gave appellants what they wanted. Instead of proceeding through the Attorney General, the Department asked the former Secretary to return her emails voluntarily and similarly requested that the FBI share any records it obtained. Even though those efforts bore some fruit, the Department has not explained why shaking the tree harder—e.g., by following the statutory mandate to seek action by the Attorney General—might not bear more still. It is therefore abundantly clear that, in terms of assuring government recovery of emails, appellants have not “been given everything [they] asked for.” Absent a showing that the requested enforcement action could not shake loose a few more emails, the case is not moot.
In May 2015 Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the State Department failed to take action following a letter to Kerry “notifying him of the unlawful removal of the Clinton emails and requesting that he initiate enforcement action pursuant to the FRA,” including working through the Attorney General to recover the emails. Judicial Watch’s lawsuit subsequently was consolidated with a later lawsuit by Cause of Action Ins ute. This ruling reverses a January 2016 decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissing the case and remands it.
