Will the FBI find classified information about Hillary’s Libyan debacle on a computer shared by Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner? That is a question raised by careful observers of the disclosures from WikiLeaks.
Abedin has previously explained that she would email State Department documents to her personal email accounts so that she could more easily print them out for Hillary. That could explain how they ended up on the Abedin/Weiner computer, as reporter Tim Johnson explains:
According to FBI interviews, Abedin often used a Yahoo email account to get around a balky State Department computer system. Whenever Clinton, who had an aversion to even basic computer technology, wanted to read something, she’d ask Abedin to print it out — repeatedly, according to the Clinton emails that have already been released by the State Department.
Abedin then would forward the requested item to her Yahoo account, and print it from there.
And that could well be how State Department emails, which The Wall Street Journal says may number some 650,000, ended up on Abedin’s home computer — depending on how the computer had been configured. Many computers use an email client program, such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, that accesses email sent to private accounts on Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or any other service.
“If you set up Yahoo on Apple Mail or Outlook or any of the other services, it will store a copy of your email on the hard drive,” said Matthew D. Green, an assistant professor in the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
