In an amazing new report, RealClear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry uncovered an incredible find. Apparently, less than one percent of the hundreds of thousands of emails contained on former Congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop were actually read by then-FBI Director James Comey.
Sure, it's understandable why they would be loathe to handle Weiner's device, but it's their job.
Sperry found, among other things, that there were about 700,000 emails on the laptop, not the 300,000 the FBI claimed there to be, which belonged to then-husband of Huma Abedin, a close, long-time Hillary Clinton aide and confidante.
Many of the emails were between Clinton and Abedin, but only about 3,000 were looked at by the FBI because Comey may have thought that ignorance is bliss.
"James Comey told Congress that they had received all of the Clinton emails, hundreds of thousands, that were found on the Weiner laptop. But that was not true. They barely looked at any of them. Just 3,000 of 700,000," Sperry said on Fox News' "Ingraham Angle" hosted by Jason Chaffetz filling in for Ms. Ingraham.
Chaffetz was stunned, "Wait, wait, wait. They looked at how many?" he asked.
"Three thousand out of potentially relevant 700,000 emails were actually individually examined for classified information and incriminating evidence," he answered. "Peter Strzok, the disgraced agent who was in charge of this midyear investigation into the Clinton emails, he actually personally handpicked the 3,000 sample. And with two other investigators, they went through them all supposedly, pulled an all-nighter, ordered pizza, and said nothing new here. Case closed once again."
Sperry's report noted a total of 3,077 emails were "directly reviewed." He showed through detail after detail how Comey "skirted the truth" by claiming that "the FBI left no stone unturned" in the probe [except for the stone Comey hides behind].
"I've got to tell you, as the former member of the committee, as a former member of Congress, I mean, how can that be anything other than the director of the FBI lying to Congress and misleading us?" Chaffetz asked Sperry on air.
"Well he also swore under oath, that, he had this story that there was this miraculous breakthrough in technology that allowed the FBI to process the Weiner laptop for evidence rapidly," Sperry said. "Turns out that doesn't pass the smell test. That didn't check out either. Turns out there was a technical glitch that thwarted that effort."
The report ended with the question as tot he whereabouts of the Weiner laptop. It noted that it could still be with the FBI or perhaps returned to Abedin and Weiner for his tweeting pleasure.
"Wherever its location, somewhere out there is a treasure trove of evidence involving potentially serious federal crimes--including espionage, foreign influence-peddling and obstruction of justice--that has never been properly or fully examined by law enforcement authorities," Sperry concluded.
I believe that this is the truest definition of the deep state. And sadly, I don't believe anything will happen to those guilty of any offenses involved here.
