as opposed to what comes to mind when reading the term "seized".

Seized in this case would mean a Search and Seizure warrant was in effect.

Couldn't have NYPD investigators or SVU have been given access if there was no urgency, and the FBI was hindered by their computer problems?

This is in the realm of hypothetical. There's no indication the NYPD was involved with the laptop. Your hypothetical is, of course, possible, but it leads to FBI and NYPD cooperating which is the complete opposite of what all these stories said.

Then, agents in New York who were searching image files

Agents most assuredly refers to FBI agents here.

While looking at this I found, out that the fake Life Insurance story even evolved and grew. People were claiming these three improbably named folders were found on Wiener's lapto

  • “Life Insurance"
  • “DNC Nuclear arsenal”.
  • Intimate XXX

Gee, thanks for naming them so descriptively Anthony.

By the way, a huge tipoff to fake news is if it excites you by confirming previously held beliefs. Fake news site know what get clicks and they write their stories accordingly. They know which stories you are more likely to share.
