There's no "insurance file." That was nonsense from an anonymous person on twitter.

The NYPD hever had possesion of Weiner's laptop. That whole story was a political hoax pushed for the election.

it was a coordinated campaign to push disinfo and it worked. Erik Prince, Giuliani and others in the Trump campaign were behind it.

If you believe in this story, please show how the NYPD got the laptop. There was a federal subpoena for the laptop and it was seized by the FBI.

The NYPD hever had possesion of Weiner's laptop

YourNewsWire reported the 'passing off' of the laptop from NYPD to FBI. YNW is (well) known for adding fictional elements to their reports. Fair enough.

Could passing off really just mean 'returning to'? Possession vs. Access

If NYPD not in original possession of laptop, did NYPD have access to the computer?

Otherwise what was NYPD doing during the joint investigation into Wiener's sexting and (report of) months of online relationship with a minor? Getting coffee for the FBI agents?

There's no "insurance file."

But there were a minimum of 10,000 Clinton server related files.

That whole story was a political hoax pushed for the election.

Using the term 'insurance file' was effective, it's what came to my mind. Was there literally a tab marked 'life insurance' that was related to Clinton emails? You say nay, I don't know, but in hindsight it wouldn't make sense to mark something that sensitive under 'life insurance' on a computer, if one really believes they are in danger.

Could the contents of the additional Clinton emails on Weiner's laptop have been useful toward that end? Or alternatively, would Weiner keep damning Clinton emails, not so much as 'life insurance' but as leverage in a custody dispute? (saw that theory too).

Maybe we'll learn more. http://www.businessinsider.com/doj-probing-andrew-mccabe-response-fbi-clinton-email-investigation-2018-1?r=UK&IR=T

The Department of Justice is examining whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe deliberately decelerated the Hillary Clinton email investigation so as not to sway the 2016 election.

The DOJ inspector general is reportedly looking into why McCabe took three weeks to respond to a request to examine newly-uncovered emails that agents at the time believed could be relevant to the Clinton probe.

The Department of Justice's inspector general is probing whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe slowed the bureau's response after he was alerted to a new batch of emails pertaining to the Hillary Clinton email investigation in early October, The Washington Post reported.

The emails in question belonged to top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, who was married at the time to former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner. The FBI discovered Abedin's work emails on Weiner's laptop in late September 2016, while it was investigating him for exchanging sexually explicit messages with a teenage girl.

I have not been able to find this out one way or the other. Again the story of the NYPD turning the laptop over and keeping a copy of the evidence is completely false as the FBI seized it originally. Remeber the "sexting" occurred with a girl in another state, thus this is federal jurisdiction. I think that there would be no reason for the FBI to turn over the laptop to the police. Especially once Huma's emails were discovered, the NYPD would not be cleared for any potential classified info that might be there and that was what formed the basis of the search warrant for Huma's emails.

Otherwise what was NYPD doing during the joint investigation into Wiener's sexting and (report of) months of online relationship with a minor? Getting coffee for the FBI agents?

What joint investigation? You are assuming facts not in evidence here. Where did you get the idea that there was a joint investigation? The NY Times did a big, deep report on what led Comey to write his letter and there's no mention of a joint investigation.

There's no "insurance file." But there were a minimum of 10,000 Clinton server related files.

and? What's the connection you are making? There's no indication that Weiner or even Huma knew about this. I believe the FBI believe the Huma connected her blackberry to the laptop and did not consciously move the emails there, but the phone backed itself up.

Using the term 'insurance file' was effective, it's what came to my mind. Was there literally a tab marked 'life insurance' that was related to Clinton emails? You say nay, I don't know, but in hindsight it wouldn't make sense to mark something that sensitive under 'life insurance' on a computer, if one really believes they are in danger.

This was an actual story that was pushed that Anthony Weiner had a folder marked Life Insurance on his laptop. This was never real.

The Inspector General is also looking into the conduct of the FBI around this.

Now you are speculating about it and about someone thinking they are in danger.

Could the contents of the additional Clinton emails on Weiner's laptop have been useful toward that end?

I very much doubt this, since they have been reviewed by the FBI.

The Department of Justice is examining whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe deliberately decelerated the Hillary Clinton email investigation so as not to sway the 2016 election.

This is funny, because this is actually longstanding Department of Justice policy, not to do anything significant within 60 days of an election. Comey violated this policy when he wrote his letter. And he did have an effect on the election.

The backstory to this is people believe the NY office of the FBI was leaking to the Trump camp. Comey is said to have issued his letter because he feared word of the investigation would leak from the FBI officers in NY. Evidence for this theory is Giuliani went on TV talking about a big FBI surprise that was coming out and he talked about getting info from current and ex FBI agents. He had to walk this back, because it would be illegal for FBI agents to be leaking this stuff. And Giuliani was certainly part of this fake story being pushed by Erik Prince on Breitbart and YourNewsWire and TruePundit and Alex Jones. Doug Hagmann went on Alex Jones with this "fake NYPD has evidence that will turn your stomach story" AND he admitted he was getting his evidence from Rudy Giuliani.

Now at this point, you may want to ask yourself, why invent this fake NYPD story, when the FBI sources would have served the same purpose? Because FBI agents were actually the ones pushing this fake story and didn't want their actions to be looked at so they pushed it off to the NYPD, even though the NYPD never had the laptop.

I suggest you read this deep dive on the weiner investigation

The Weiner part starts here

The Daily Mail, a British tabloid, was first with the salacious story: Anthony D. Weiner, the former New York congressman, had exchanged sexually charged messages with a 15-year-old girl.

The NYPD is not mentioned at all.

"That whole story was a political hoax pushed for the election." That story was made to Legitimize the ilegtimate FBI, as if they act on evidence of one of their own. Their job is to protect the system, to protect those compromised and doing dirty work from being exposed. Constantly it was pushed in here that something was going to happen any day now. I knew that was impossible because Weiner and Huma are working for the cabal, as are most politicians. They are allowed to be embarressed, thats it.
