Interesting.
Seems Comey didn't trust the FBI's New York office to go through the emails found on Weiner's laptop, for fear of leaks.
They are being examined in the Washington DC office.
Who's next?
Seems Comey didn't trust the FBI's New York office to go through the emails found on Weiner's laptop, for fear of leaks.
They are being examined in the Washington DC office.
So now we've got both the Russians and and the FBI interfering in our election.FBI Director James Comey was driven in part by a fear of leaks from within his agency when he decided to tell Congress the FBI was investigating newly discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton, law enforcement sources said on Thursday.
The examination of the email traffic is now being carried out under the tightest secrecy by a team at Federal Bureau of Investigations headquarters in Washington, the sources said, requesting anonymity because of the inquiry's sensitivity.
Two law enforcement sources familiar with the FBI's New York Field Office, which initially discovered the emails, said a faction of investigators based in the office is known to be hostile to Hillary Clinton.
A spokeswoman for the FBI's New York office said she had no knowledge about this.
Democratic Party sources said such a faction was likely responsible for a recent surge in media leaks on alleged details of an ongoing FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
The FBI has made preliminary inquiries into Clinton Foundation activities and alleged contacts between Trump and associates with parties in Russia, according to law enforcement sources.
But these inquiries were shifted into low gear weeks ago because the FBI wanted to avoid any impact on the election.
