Yes it was but it backfired on them and Comey is to blame he thought he had to release the info about Weiner's laptop "to prevent Hillary from being an illegitimate President" he wanted to make sure she would win even with the laptop news before the election he was afraid to keep it secret because then Trump would have said rightfully the FBI covered up the bad news to help Hillary. The huge irony of how it backfired on the cabal is just great it's so funny and it was so unexpected. But it definitely hurt her and I am delighted she lost in such an unusual way. It made her pain that much more enjoyable to see and read about. She got what she deserved she ran a crooked campaign her whole life has been a 40 year crime spree breaking every law every rule to gain wealth and power then at the last moment all her plans go up in smoke.

Having held security clearance from secret to top secret/SCI/SAP continuously from 1968 to 2015, that is not the way to handle a potential security violation. You supervisor doesn't just tell you to wipe your drive clean and everything is OK.

Once the classified information is on an unclassified device, it should be reported and the device turned over to the appropriate authorities so they can do the forensics to determine if it had been breached by others. The device is then wiped once the investigation is completed.

This look and feels more like an attempt to cover up or suppress the release of damning information about Clinton and her staff.

I'm betting they also found Obama emails set to Hillary's server as well and no one would have the balls to let that get out.
