Quote:The plain view exception does not allow evidence to be seized outside a warrant unless it is “immediately apparent” upon viewing it that it is evidence of another crime. Comey's own statement ensures a Judge never allows them in a testimony.

 

They didn't seize the evidence.  The evidence was already lawfully in their possession because of a warrant in the previous investigation.  Correct, the previous warrant was specific to the weiner investigation.  That's why when the investigative team identified electronic communications belonging to Miss Abedin they STOPPED and notified the investigative team associated with the Clinton E-mail investigation and then did a soft review of the metadata.  After it was determined that there were communications that had the state.gov and HRC as part of the address lines of communications it was then time to go get a warrant to actually physically examine the communications themselves.  At such time is when the Director of the FBI was compelled to comply with his testimony before congress that should new information potentially pertinent to the investigation be made available that he would notify congressional leadership of his further action.  In this case that included obtaining a warrant specific to Miss Abedins communications and the subsequent investigative steps to determine their significance to the investigation. 

 

Had it been determined that their presence had been detected outside the scope of probable cause and legal review of the device in FBI custody then the judge wouldn't have issued the warrant specific to her electronic communications. 

 

Also, I think that is frankly shameful the intellectual gymnastics that some are willing to go through in order to try and avoid the fact that these acts are on their face CRIMINAL.  Hillary Clinton claims that she turned over 55 some odd thousand e-mails and admits that 33 some odd thousand were deleted.  We are now reviewing more than HALF A MILLION documents.  Both Miss Clinton and Miss Abedin signed official separation agreements stating that they turned over all work related materials and no longer had possession of or access to classified or sensitive materials.  If there are 0 new emails found on her computer then she is guilty of perjury on her separation form, to the fbi, and in subsequent judicial watch deposition testimony.
