Comey, Bill, Hillary not first time - Comey was a deputy special counsel on the Senate Whitewater Committee (interview, FBI)

FBI Director James Comey’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private, unsecured email server is not the first time that Comey has investigated Hillary for alleged wrongdoing. Time reports that 20 years ago, Comey was a deputy special counsel on the Senate Whitewater Committee, looking into the conduct of then President Bill Clinton and Hillary.

Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her husband had tried to hide their roles in two other matters under investigation by law enforcement.

Taken together, the interference by White House officials, which included destruction of documents, amounted to “far more than just aggressive lawyering or political naiveté,” Comey and his fellow investigators concluded. It constituted “a highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.”

Several people involved with the Whitewater corporation (including Clinton’s successor as governor) ultimately went to jail, but the Clintons never faced criminal prosecution.

For those of you who remember here we go again!

It's highly likely that when the FBI interviewed Abedin, they asked her for all the devices (or at least an accounting of the same) that might have contained any classified information. The devices just uncovered obviously were not turned over to the FBI and almost certainly were not accounted for by Abedin. At a minimum, she appears to have lied to the FBI.

Huma Abedin is far more exposed than Hillary for criminal liability. I don't doubt that Huma would happily take a fall for Hillary. It may mean that if Hillary wins, she would enter office with her top aide under felony indictment.

Not so different than Trump winning with Chris Christie's luggage attached.
