YRM : Yes we should be disgusted that Weiner engaged in this kind of conduct with a 15 year old. But she had a bit of a Lolita streak in her. She initiated the contact and flirted with Weiner for more than 6 months. The erection picture with his son in the same bed was evidently the last straw. She contacted Ms Leathers for guidance but refused to carry out her advice to report the matter to the police. Ms. Leathers was the adult with whom Weiner had a sexting affair previously. The girl admitted that she just wanted to mess with Hillary's campaign. So Ms Leathers arranged for an expose in the Daily Mail publication which paid the teenager for her story and the photo. I kinda feel sorry for creepy Weiner, after all Hillary had stolen his wife from him: what's a virile man supposed to do? He should have had a discreet affair with a sex worker...and hope her name wasn't Stormy Daniels!

You knnow we only have access to one warrant here. There could be others. So we are all speculating as best we can with the clues available to us. News reports are not always accurate either. How did the feds learn that three devices were at Granite? I can't imagine the feds being interested in a plain vanilla porno texting between 2 consenting individuals, one of whom later turns out to be a teenage minor. Think of all the cases which have been mentioned here over the past 18 months that were state prosecutions and state prison terms. Nor can I imagine child welfare authorities contacting the feds rather than their own local police with its Special Victims unit.

Something more than a bedroom photo on the front page of Daily Mail or NY Post pricked the interest of the feds.

This still doesn't mean Erik Prince is to be believed entirely. He made his first statement on November 4th which gave him plenty of time to obtain info from his connections...or to embellish. His claim of more crimes on the part of Hillary and her gang, if true, would be better investigated by the feds than NYPD. So if true, it would have been the feds engaged in a cover up. And Lynch certainly had the ability to cover it up with a threat of civil rights prosecutions.

What we need are some more snitches.

I also forgot to mention that the search warrant was limited to searching the dsvices for evidence in connection with violations of federal codes re: national security issues, not child pornography. Presumably the prosecutor was allowing state authorities to work the pornographg issues for the time being. Both the states and the federal.government have laws addressing child pornography.

Also, did Trump get impatient with Preet Bhahara for not pursuing the other crimes mentioned by Erik Prince and thus fired him?

Note also the rumored warning by Attorney General Lynch that if these other matters mentioned bu Prince were pursued she would reopen the Garner case and go after NYC cops for civil rights violations.

I forgot to mention that the federal search warrant expired on October 3rd. Note the blank Return of service. Typically there are multiple carbon sets of such warrants whereby the Return becomes a separate document to be completed and filed with the court detailing the time and date and place the search was carried out. Whoever filed for the unsealing of the Warrant forgot to obtain the separate Return. Or maybe no warrant was executed since the evidence was voluntarily.turned over. Peter Strozk said on 9/28 that Weiner's attorney turned over thousands of emails to SDNY( U.S District Attorney's office) and that he was sending a team up there to review them.

The Sate of NY participates in the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) joint task force authorizing the feds and local LE to work together. The NYPD Special Victims Unit opened a file on Weiner on September 26 in connection with the child pornography aspect. But childrens protective services was already involved with respect to child abuse/neglect issues as a result of Bill Donahue's complaint. Meanwhile there were scads of newspaper articles throughout September covering the incriminating photograph of Weiner's hard-on with his son next to him.

Weiner stated in January 2017 that he turned over his electronic devices to Granite Intelligience on September 23 to avoid the spectacle of an FBI raid at his home. Undoubtedly this was done with advice of counsel and the wish to appear cooperative. There was no need to destroy evidence of his texts with the teenager since her devices held the same information. As for the rest of the contents, he was not a guilty party and the proof of wrongdoing by Hillary was his insurance policy. As for his wife....I cannot say.

His sttorneys would know there were competing agencies wanting access to this content and the best course of action was to place his devices with Granite for safekeepjng and let the searches begin. NYPD would thus be the first agency to search the devices having been the first to open an investigation. Its search would have stumbled upon the emails. No sesrch warrant is needed if a suspect consents to a search. As of January 2017, there were no formal charges filed regarding a child pornography crime by the NYPD or the feds. As we can imagine, Weiner was negotiating the best deal possible. There were mandatory prison terms for specific child pornography crimes at the state level and. probably more lenient sentences at the federal level inasmuch as Weiner eventually copped a plea to a federal crime and imprisonment in a federal facility.

I'm of the opinion that the NYPD accessed the electronic evidence first. Not only was the NYPD thanked by the feds but how else would the USDC prosecutor know how to prepare a search warrant with such specificity unless it had been made awsre of the evidence by the NYPD.

.

Exactly.

Think that this whole question was part of a disinfo campaign that swept like wildfire. The NYPD would HAVE to had access ... otherwise ... no case. They'd have to be able to prove that the sexting was done from Weiner's phone, etc. You just can't produce a printout or transcription. And even if the victim had records, you'd have to prove it was Weiner receiving the messages.

It just seems that somebody went to a lot of trouble to throw the allegation that NYPD detectives saw a lot more than they bargained for into question ... and the worst part is that it worked. And, yes, it's just an allegation until proven, but anyone who did any sort of research on the Seth Rich murder knows how hard it is to find records/documents. They all go into some deep freeze storage bin that's located at Antarctica.

How much fucking confirmation bias must you have for this?

22/9 Daily mail carries a story with a whole bunch of sexting data from THE GIRLS phone

Weiner panics, 23/9 gives his hardware to Granite

The warrant is issued on 26/9 . It does say 'any law enforcement officer' - so I take that to mean it is possible the NYPD did the raid on Granite, not FBI

BUT The NY Post and Washington Post put out stories on 30/9 saying FBI has the laptop, and there's Hillary emails on it

thats a 4 day window in which they have to 1) execute the raid 2) take it back to the NYPD cop shop 3) get authority to check its contents 4) surrender it to the FBI 5) FBI assesses its contents 6) report on that to the Media

i suppose its possible, just, but that's a very narrow time frame

but I keep coming back to this: We have no public statement DIRECTLY from NYPD corroborating Eric Prince's claim, and Eric is one dodgy motherfucker. Every other person who repeated the 'insurance file' claim is downstream from Eric Prince, no independent verification

Now, when the 'Steele Dossier' paid for by Hillary is the only sole piece of evidence of 'muh collusion' and Robert Mueller hasnt substantiated it from ANY OTHER INDEPENDENT source, I roll my eyes at those who still push the collusion narrative

applying the same standard of evidence, I roll my eyes at the 'insurance file' claims because we similarly have no independent verification of Eric Prince's claims, and we have very solid evidence showing that the window of opportunity for the NYPD AT BEST was very, very, narrow

NYPD SVU were looking into it because of what was disclosed to Daily Mail.

and the Victim was in NORTH CAROLINA - this means the NYPD may have been compromising the case if they looked into it because of their Jurisdiction Limitation - so it would have been wiser for them to leave it to the Feds anyway

Occams razor still tells us the greater likelihood that NYPD never had it

I don't have the links, but I remember when the story broke, it was the NYPD that had first access to the laptop because Weiner's home was located in their jurisdiction and they had authority to investigate his alleged sexting activity with a minor. They found more than they bargained for, including Hillary's emails. That is when the info had to be turned over to the Feds. Perhaps the Federal investigators had suspected that the Weiners might have them, but couldn't initiate a warrant without more evidence. The sexting opened the door for the NYPD. I don't know that either group expected to find an "insurance" file. Upvoat!

P.S. Make sure you read the last thread if you missed it in v/greatawakening . It has very important info about @Are_We_Sure
