The FBI obtained a warrant to search emails related to the Hillary Clinton private server probe that were discovered on ex-congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop, law enforcement officials confirmed Sunday.

The warrant came two days after FBI director James Comey revealed the existence of the emails, which law-enforcement sources said were linked to Weiner's estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

The FBI already had a warrant to search Weiner's laptop, but that only applied to evidence of his allegedly illicit communications with an underage girl.

"I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act." The act bars government officials from using their authority to influence elections.

Hmmmm. Wouldn't it also violate the Hatch Act if Comey had information that Hillary committed a criminal act -- but then sat on that information until after the election?

Don't forget, Special Prosecutor Lawrence Walsh's indictment of former Reagan Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger on October 30, 1992, and Walsh's obviously calculated decision to include a reference to incumbent President George H.W. Bush in his filing. And the warrant was later thrown out by a court.

The only Hatch Act violation here resides in the spider-infested mind of Dingy Harry who declared Romeny had paid no taxes. Harry just lies whenever it is politically expedient.
