Lawyer: Clinton warrant unjustified

| December 21, 2016

Los Angeles lawyer Randy Schoenberg got the warrant unsealed which the FBI issued for Huma Abedin’s computer in the waning days of the election campaign and now he’s decided that there was no smoking gun which would have prompted that warrant, according to USATODAY;

“I see nothing at all in the search warrant application that would give rise to probable cause, nothing that would make anyone suspect that there was anything on the laptop beyond what the FBI had already searched and determined not to be evidence of a crime, nothing to suggest that there would be anything other than routine correspondence between” Clinton and Abedin, Schoenberg said in an email to USA TODAY. It remains unknown “why they thought they might find evidence of a crime, why they felt it necessary to inform Congress, and why they even sought this search warrant,” he said…Clinton campaign officials echoed Schoenberg’s complaints Tuesday. Campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said on Twitter that the “unsealed filings regarding Huma’s emails reveals Comey’s intrusion on the election was as utterly unjustified as we suspected at time.”

This along with the “hacked election” meme will probably headline news broadcasts for the next four years.

At the same time, Comey was in possession of evidence showing Russia was hacking into the Democratic Party apparatus, and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused him of holding back “explosive” information about Russian interference…former president Bill Clinton said his wife “fought through everything, and she prevailed against it all.” But she couldn’t endure the combination of the FBI’s interference and Russian meddling.

I don’t care how or why it happened, I’m just glad that it did. The last time I checked, the FBI director works for the President. Someone should check into reasons why Obama didn’t want Clinton to be president.

Government information on an unauthorized laptop accessed by unauthorized people kept in an inappropriate manner and transmitted/reproduced/disseminated oh…anywhere at any time…with no oversight…yeah, what’s the fuss?

The Other Whitey

It’s okay when THEY do it!

Flagwaver

Don’t forget that it was seized in an investigation of sexual interaction with a minor! You know, because there is no way that could ever have been used against him.

Besides, Hillary gave her alien housekeeper full clearance and authority to open and print those Special Access Program messages from her home server email account. The fact that the identity of some of our foreign intel assets could be deduced from the content of those emails is irrelevant. “At this point, what difference does it make,” even if they were also on Wiener-boi’s laptop. As she would likely say, “the laws are for Thee, not for Me.”

Yeh, anyone convinced that lawyer is a dumbass dumocrap , clinton voter?

A Proud Infidel®™

Randy Schoenberg is FULL OF Clinton talking points, maybe he just doesn’t want to see himself dead from a heart attack or car wreck before his next birthday, maybe he now sees himself extra-prone to a violent Armed Robbery as well as suicide-prone?

Ex-PH2

“Someone should check into reasons why Obama didn’t want Clinton to be president.” <- And there it is.

That is the ONLY question anyone, including the lefties, needs to ask.

AW1 Tim

I always understood that, despite outward appearances, The Obamas hated the Clintons, down deep, right to the bone.

Obama’s team was the one that undercut Clinton in the primaries back in 2007, and again made certain she couldn’t win in 2011 and keep president mom-jeans from a 2nd term.

It was inferred that Obama’s team spent as much or more on oppo research on Clinton as it did on McCain and Romney.

I never believed that Obama would even consider pardoning Hillary if anything bore fruit from the FBI investigations, And I have no doubt that Comey was ordered to slow-walk the Clinton Foundation investigation(s) until after Obama left office so ol Barrack wouldn’t be in a position to have to consider a pardon for Hillary.

The prime rule of diplomacy is to “Stab last, stab deepest.” Hillary lost the election because it was in Obama’s interests for Trump to win, and Hillary to lose.

The Other Whitey

As I’ve said before, you know on some level Barry is loving this shit. The only question is whether he’ll get the satisfaction of having Das Hildabeast come groveling.

rgr769

The big question is whether he is going to pardon her on or about 1/19/2017.

OWB

No argument about Barry doing his part to influence her non-selection, but I thought than and still think that it was Billy Boy who tanked her election then and did not help her this time either. Sure, he went through the motions, but his campaigning harmed her.

Roger in Republic

I don’t think Bill hurt her as much as her retinue of sycophants did. It has been reported that her team ignored Bill when he tried to get her off the Cheese and Wine big money circuit and campaign in the heart land.

He tried to get her uncoupled from Obama, but her people shut him up. He made an appearance in Spokane where he said that Obamacare was the dumbest thing ever done and we never saw him again. MY GOD, when the best campaigner in modern history tells you something, you need to listen. Hillary’s people were tone deaf and they lost.

CB Senior

He might be dubious on many fronts, but he knew how to win an election. Yes, why listen to the guy who did it not once but twice became President.
Sounds like an intel officer in Iraq. Knows more than the boots on the grounds.

rgr769

You obviously mean ol’ Baghdad Bob. I think Hildy had about as much of a grasp of the truth on the ground as he did.

Ex-PH2

I have to agree with that. She did start with Iowa last year, but said all the wrong things and left her small audience staring at her as if she were an alien species that had just landed. No sense of what they were all about at all. I don’t remember how Bill C did in Iowa, but I think he was better at working the crowd than she ever was.

And another part of her losing had to do with ‘the Agenda’, which meant nothing to anyone but a small portion of the voting population. The rest of the votes she could have gotten went elsewhere.

akpual

Obama is racist. Clinton is white.

Ex-PH2

I didn’t believe he would pardon her, either, no matter how modest the offenses might be. The reported carelessness was very disturbing, because neither you nor I could have gotten away with that kind of thing. If you’re correct, and I’m guessing that you are, he may have been waiting for her to sink herself into a hole she’d never escape.
Now – well, it’s all in Godot’s hands, if you will.

Graybeard

Waiting for Godot? I thought that was Manuel Noriega in the Panamanian prison.

Ex-PH2

…and Godot never arrived, but he did send a message with a boy.

Think she can wait for another try?

HMC Ret

I don’t see her making another try at the Presidency. Just too much baggage from sooo many angles. Maybe set up residency in a state that needs a name-brand Democrat to run for Senate in 2018 – 2020.

The Other Whitey

The soon-to-be-departing Glorious Leader is nothing if not a vindictive bastard.

Ex-PH2

I still think he’s going to be packed and out the door on or just a day or so after January 1, 2017.

A Proud Infidel®™

I wonder if the 0bamas are gonna try to loot the White House like the Clintons did?

2/17 Air Cav

Absolutely. And if anyone tries to stop them, they’ll break out the race card precisely b/c the Clintons and their staff did it.

Poetrooper

Here ya go:

“A year ago, he’d have been getting our coffee for us”…..Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy, 2008….

nbcguy54ACTUAL

I think what the lawyer forgot was that Weiner’s computer was being searched for illegal porn stuff and they just happened to find the classified info. Entirely legal as evidence of another crime was discovered while investigating the original. ..

UpNorth

The lawyer also forgot that a federal judge saw enough probable cause to sign the search warrant.

rgr769

Most lawyers in CA are libtard/progtards. Like good communists they will always do or say whatever will advance or serve the Dhimmicat party line. I ought to know, as I have had to deal with them for over 40 years.

JimV

As a former ASA/INSCOM soldier, if I did some of the things Hillary did, I would be in prison.

What qualifies Hillary to be the President aside from the fact that she use to sleep with a former President?

2/17 Air Cav

She reportedly does not have a penis.

timactual

Uh, who was the intrepid soul who did that investigative reporting?

Eden

Hazardous duty pay, maybe?

IDC SARC

“… if I did some of the things Hillary did, I would be in prison. ”

I hear ya. I just did my annual IA recert and it was like compiling a charge sheet on Shrillary and her minions. lol

The Other Whitey

“What qualifies Hillary to be the President aside from the fact that she use to sleep with a former President?”

Are we certain that ever happened? Yeah, I know, Chelsea, but…shit, that could’ve been accomplished with a bulb syringe!

Silentium Est Aureum

Look at Chelsea.

Look at Webb Hubbel.

(Drops mic)

Poetrooper

I still maintain her daddy was Janet Reno…

rgr769

Even IDC SARC would not hit that (Reno I mean).

A Proud Infidel®™

I always thought that Chelsea was likely a Foster Kid, knowhutimean?

akpual

That’s what I think too. But, I’ve been out of the ASA since 1972.

2/17 Air Cav

Whatever. I am growing weary of this cloak and dagger crud. It is a game, a ploy, a thing to be used by those who can’t accept that The Bitch of Benghazi, Wide Load, Twitchy got her butt beat. This is a two-pronged attack on Trump’s victory. One tine is that those who voted for Trump are evil white guys who pine for the days of slavery. The other is that Wide Load was victimized by the Russians and the FBI. You know why she lost? Two reasons. First and foremost, she sucked as a human being and as a candidate. Second–and this probably cost her dearly–was that collapse of hers that she and her handlers tried to pass off as tiredness–no! Wait–pneumonia–no! wait! medication, cold weather/hot weather/whatever.

The tinfoil crowd loves this stuff, but I am confident most of America is laughing at it.

Ex-PH2

You left out the 3rd reason: she ignored the very people who might otherwise have voted for her.

A Proud Infidel®™

What, you mean like sneering at and ignoring what liberals see as “Fly-over Country”, the places she ignored that Trump didn’t?

Ex-PH2

Ya think?

rgr769

Why I know lots of “irredeemable deplorables” who claim they voted for her. Not

Bill M

Whole baskets full of ’em.

Just An Old Dog

Fuck him, and fuck Shankles McThunderTwat. The fucking left just needs to curl up with their binky, have a good cry and get the fuck over it.

rgr769

How about they curl up with a cyanide laced binky and leave this veil of tears. Then the grown-ups can deal with reality.

A Proud Infidel®™

I say let them do so after a nice big glass of Jim Jones Kool-Aid®™.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

There was no way of knowing without checking that emails were or were not irrelevant, consequently getting a warrant to search through them makes perfect sense. I’m not a fan of unreasonable searches, nor the Patriot Act, but in this case a laptop was surrendered and in the course of one investigation additional information on another case was discovered to be on this laptop. There was no way of knowing without looking that those emails if they were damaging.

This is more sour grapes from the loser squad…the next four years will be this way. This should come as no surprise, the last 16 years have been this way with the party out of power bitching and moaning the entire time they’re out of power.

2/17 Air Cav

For those interested, here’s the warrant and redacted affidavit, c/o CNN. Looks pretty damn compelling and solid to me, but then I don’t work for the DNC.

gitarcarver

There is this side to this as well:

Clinton had or caused the deletion of emails that were work related despite court orders from her servers.

The laptop in question had work related emails on it and it was legal an necessary to see if there were more classified emails on the laptop.

This is a case of a lawyer wanting to make headlines after the fact as well as trying to rewrite and revise history.

Graybeard

So, Los Angeles lawyer Randy Schoenberg works for the Clintons.

Rule #1 for any amoral lawyer representing a guilty client: lie like a mangy dog. Double and triple down on the lie, repeat the lie so often that the mindless begin to believe it.

Los Angeles lawyer Randy Schoenberg is, prima facae, a lying scumbag who maintains no scruples other than win one for the client. (Or avoid suicide by gunshot to the back of the head….)

A Proud Infidel®™

IMHO he’s also trying to keep from getting killed by something like a heart attack, car accident or a robbery gone wrong, remember Vince Foster?

The Other Whitey

Hillary Clinton could be shown on live TV drawing swastikas all over her face, shouting racial slurs and satanic incantations while murdering a black child, and the far-left and MSM would still support her.

Ex-PH2

Strange you should say that, but the videos of her appearing on the news are those showing her thumping a podium and shouting angrily (no sound) about something.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

I think she IS pen-pals with Charles Manson…

A Proud Infidel®™

Hillary Cankles could defecate in the Kennedy Rose Garden and the liberal mainstream mess media would still fawn all over her for “Using sustainable/renewable fertilization sources” or some leftwing shit like that.

Valerie

“I see nothing at all in the search warrant application….”

That must be because he did not read it. Even with all the redactions, I can see probable cause to search for documents related to the mishandling of classified information.

The hysteria over this election is so disproportionate as to be increasingly suspicious. This was an election between two Democrats, and DJT was elected because he could attract Democratic voters in addition to many Republicans, with the prominent absence of some Conservatives.

Ex-PH2

Oh, my lord, girl, are you really going to point out the facts to these blind mole rats??? You can’t do that to them! You’ll confuse them!!

A Proud Infidel®™

CAREFUL Milady, liberals are as allergic to facts and logic as hippies are to honest work, soap and water!

Grimmy

The only facts cites are “because I say so” just like everything else the destructionists have been verbally vomiting for the last while.

Wilted Willy

I would just love to see a video of Wideload on election night beating the shit out of slick willy? How long before that shows up on the web??

Graybeard

I suspect a video of Wideload beating the crud out of Slick Willy on election night will not surface because of two factors:
(a) Slick Willy was off banging some intern at that time and
(b) Wideload was stoned out of her gourd at the same time.

I could be wrong, of course, but it is a Shroedinger’s cat situation…

UpNorth

I’d just like to see the video of her melt-down on election night. The damaged 60″ HDTV, the broken glasses and bottles of high end champagne and liquor, the holes in the walls of the suite she was in, the used needles from her injections to calm her down. Just the usual stuff.

A Proud Infidel®™

Let’s not forget the unused fireworks bought for that night which Trump offered her and the DNC five cents on the dollar for!

2/17 Air Cav

Graybeard. It still gives me that first-time ever feeling when I imagine the 30 or so mins of Wide Load’s life after she learned that Donald Trump was going to be the next President of the United States of America. It’s the gift that keeps giving.

A Proud Infidel®™

Schadenfreude, how SWEET it is!!! 😀 😀 😀

Graybeard

Got me grinnin’ at work again thinking about that.

USMC8151

I am an American first, veteran second…The FBI Director clearly acted in the best interest of politics… Because”our guy” won is no reason to disregard or look the other way at what he did…He is no better than those swinger generals, admirals, etc…

The American people’s rights were fucked with and Comey needs to answer…PERIOD.

2/17 Air Cav

What you strike me as is a crackpot.

Luddite4change

He wouldn’t have to have said anything if his boss hadn’t met with the subjects husband as the investigation was ending.

At that point he was screwed no matter what he did..

Hack Stone

So, what is your reaction to the FBI Director saying that she did break the law, but no “reasonable prosecutor” would pursue charges?

Bernie Hackett

Do you know how you can tell if a lawyer is lying? His lips are moving….
Oh, and who is this clown? What’s he do in the bidness? Matrimonials? Title searches?
Other than attention whoring?

rgr769

Lawers don’t do title searches in CA. Most CA lawyers wouldn’t even know how to go about it.

At that point, HRC had already been *proven* to be in multiple outright lies to Congress. (Much of this is on youtube video from C-SPAN coverage of the hearings.) And, had said she’d provided all her emails and then been proven to have not done so. So, getting a copy of someone else’s emails who commonly corresponds with her, would easily go to demonstrating whether or not there were YET MORE emails that she had not shared. The content within them is not as important as her open defiance of congressional inquiry and her repeated false testimony on every imaginable point of the topic. And remember, the topic was overlapping with that of the state dept’s corruption that saw our own people murdered and then a prompt cover-up. (More than once. Seal Team 6 is another Benghazi.) It just so happens that in finding YET MORE of HRC’s emails that she had not provided, it also demonstrated other things, like that they rigged the DNC to take out Sanders and many other things — which of course, all mainstream news is ignoring, and Obama shrugs that there was nothing interesting in it all, since what was IN all the releases is apparently to be ignored. Comey would never have needed to look for more emails or say anything had HRC not provided what Congress required originally and what she SAID she had provided originally — but lied (on many topics). The fact that the natural timing of all this happened to fall during the period when she was attempting, with the help of nearly all mainstream media (a collusion which the emails proved), to run for President, is really just the way it worked out. As for Russia, given her server was insecure, given Podesta fell for a phishing scam my kid wouldn’t have by age 8, and given MANY sources (not just Russia!) have hacked a shocking number of our gov’t agencies over the last five years, the best we can say is that Russia is “one of” the many sources happy to take what apparently was not hard… Read more »

I missed one detail: the entirety of ‘Russia interfered’ wasn’t just because the DNC emails showed up on Wikileaks. It was allegedly because RNC emails did *not.* RNC people deny that they were hacked at all. But even if they were, Wikileaks says the reason only DNC emails were posted is because what they got was from a leak inside DNC itself — there was access to only those emails, that’s all that was leaked, and so that’s all Wikileaks had available to post. WL was even defending themselves long before the election, saying they were being accused of only showing the seamy side of the democratic national committee (DNC) and none of the Republicans, but Wikileaks insisted that the only thing they had gotten was the DNC stuff, and that if someone sent them stuff from RNC they’d post that too. But everything about “Russia hacked the election” is based on the assumption that a) Wikileaks info came from the Russians (which every source in the chain now public says is not so, that it was a DNC leak instead), that b) the Russians also had RNC info, and hence that “the Russians NOT sending RNC info to Wikileaks” is the crux of “how they interfered with the USA election.” A ton of assumptions there. Assumptions there is likely no truth for at several points in the chain. Russia — and other sources too — might have some of the same info but at this point, it’s probably becoming more a question who does NOT have the info. This is what having an unsecured server in your bathroom (DNC main player Hillary Clinton), and a moron (John Podesta) who clicks on phishing links, can lead to — and what having cyber-security that is insufficiently competitive with a whole world that is very competitive on that (esp. China) can result in. There might also be some attempt to divert from the slightly later news, from at least two states in the USA, that their actual election cybersecurity was attempted hacked — by Obama’s Dept of Homeland Security. Not just once…… Read more »

“I sure hope DJT’s team makes a massive, massive effort to clear out dead people, non-citizens, multi-registrants, from the rolls of every state, ensure the security and improve the tech and process of ALL states election efforts,…”

I hope for the same, but let’s not forget that the current CA Governor signed a bill into law last year allowing illegal aliens to vote in that State (Talk about rigging polls for demo-rats!). I wonder why no one has yet sued to get that law overturned, talk about UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

2/17 Air Cav

I believe that the next final Jeopardy answer (in the form of a question, please) that no one gets right will be, “He was Hillary Clinton’s running mate in her 2016 failed bid to become president.”
