Related: About this forum'I am appalled': Attorney who sued to release FBI's Clinton warrant says it shows no probable cause
20 DEC 2016 AT 13:37 ET
California defense attorney E. Randal Schoenberg, who successfully sued to have a search warrant for Hillary Clintons emails released, said on Tuesday that the order did not meet the standard of probable cause.
The warrant which was unsealed on Tuesday suggests that federal magistrate Kevin Fox in Manhattan granted the Oct. 30 warrant to search Anthony Weiners laptop based exclusively on the FBIs contention that it may have contained classified emails exchanged between Clinton and Weiners wife, Huma Abedin, according to Politico.
Schoenberg wrote on Facebook that he was appalled after seeing the warrant because the FBI had presented nothing at all that amounted to probable cause.
You will have to ask Judge Fox, or the agent in charge (whose name has been redacted), or Director Comey, 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, Schoenberg said.

And yet nothing will be done about it for at least 4 years and even if the Democrats were to assume control of at least 1 branch, they likely wouldn't do anything because they prefer compromise and not rocking the boat.

(2,156 posts)subsequently was appalled by what he saw when he got it, seems likely to be interested in further action. I expect that attorney Schoenberg and/or others, especially those who have legal standing, will pursue a legal challenge to the defective warrant to the extent that laws provide remedies.
