so huma was on weiners laptop and emailing hrc?

The AUSAs provided written guidance to the case agent about how to handle

review of the laptop. In a September 28 email to the case agent and the SSA,

AUSA 1 advised that the case agent should review “only evidence of crimes related

to the sexual exploitation of children, enticement, and obscenity” and instructed the

case agent “that all emails and other communications between Anthony Weiner and

Huma Abedin (even if there are other parties to the communication) should be

sequestered and not reviewed at this time.” The case agent agreed and responded

that the “[o]nly emails I will review are those to/from Weiner accounts to which

[Huma Abedin] is not party.”

Later in the day on September 28, the AUSA-created timeline noted:

[The case agent] informed AUSAs that the header info previously

described seen in plain view search revealed numerous emails

between Abedin and HRC (on which Weiner was not a party) using

potentially sensitive email addresses, which indicated that Abedin had

used the laptop. [The case agent] said that his chain of command was

aware of the information. AUSAs informed supervisors of these facts.

Later that day, SDNY USAO and FBI NY leadership discussed situation

and agreed that Rule 41 prevented any search in this case beyond

scope of warrant, and that any emails outside that scope should be

segregated and not reviewed in this case. Same day, FBI NY ASAC []

asked AUSA to forward him the guidance for conducting the search

that the AUSA had sent to [the case agent] because FBI counsel was

interested in issuing guidance for review and seeing what we had

already said on this point.

President-Elect Obama. Turner violated IEEPA by conspiring to engage in public relations,

political consulting, and lobbying efforts on behalf of President Mugabe and other Zimbabwe

officials. In early Dec. 2008, Ben Israel’s U.S. bank blocked a wire transfer of $89,970 into his

account from a Zimbabwean official affiliated with ZANU-PF; and, Ben Israel later traveled to

Africa and personally withdrew $90,000 from the bank account of that same Zimbabwean

official. Turner and Ben Israel arranged for trips by federal and state government officials to

meet with President Mugabe and other Zimbabwean officials, including in Nov. and Dec. 2008,

and Jan. and Dec. 2009; attempted to have Gono and other Zimbabwean officials speak at an

32

issues forum in Washington, D.C., sponsored by a then U.S. Representative from California, and

to assist those officials in obtaining visas to travel to the U.S. to attend the event; arranged for

President Mugabe to meet with federal and state government officials in New York; lobbied a

caucus of state legislators on behalf of Zimbabwean officials; and failed to apply to the Treasury

Department for a license to engage in transactions and services on behalf of specially designated

nationals. In early Dec. 2008, Turner and Ben Israel arranged for a delegation to travel to

Zimbabwe. After members of the delegation returned, President-Elect Obama’s transition team

forwarded information about contact from a member of the delegation to the FBI based on its

concerns that sanctions may have been violated by traveling to Zimbabwe, which was not itself

prohibited. Throughout 2009, Turner and Ben Israel continued to pass communications between

Zimbabwean leaders and, purportedly, U.S. public officials while seeking payment for their

services from Gono. Ben Israel was sentenced on Aug. 21, 2014 to seven months in prison, one

year supervised release, $100 special assessment and a $500 fine after pleading guilty to violating

the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau

of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division.
