State Dept. posts Clinton aide's documents found on Weiner's laptop

The State Department on Friday released portions of 2,800 emails and other documents belonging to former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin that were recovered by the FBI last year on Abedin's estranged husband Anthony Weiner's computer last year.

While the newly released emails have been seized on by conservative activists who have long been critical of Clinton's treatment of classified emails as secretary of State, the FBI already said in 2016 that a review of the emails didn't change the bureau's opinion that Clinton shouldn't face charges over email handling.

The Friday release came after a 2015 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch against the State Department seeking the release of emails containing "official State Department business" sent or received from Abedin from January 2009 to February 2013 using a non-State Department email address.

Also at Judicial Watch and CNN.

    There's a few more of these floating 'round. Seen any mirrors recently?

      I'd call myself a progressive, and am CERTAINLY no fan of Trump. One must admit the actual evidence presented is against Clinton on this, and also against the FBI. "Mainstream opinion falls the other way of course, but dollars dictate opinion in the media business, and dollars also dictate "mainstream" politics. The one party state (ie. the money party) is definitely behind Clinton and the FBI on this, evidence be damned.
