Then the mystery for Corsi became how Abedin was sending emails from one account to the other.
“If Huma went to all this trouble to offload all these emails that I know about … then she probably didn’t use a State Department device. She probably used somebody else’s device,” Corsi said.
Enter Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former New York congressman, who is Abedin’s estranged husband, although they were still together during Clinton’s years at the State Department.
“It was really the FBI and the New York Police Department that decided to go knock on Weiner’s door with a search warrant,” Corsi said. “Once they found the computer and the emails, they knew they had a case. This way, they didn’t have to go get permission, which they never would have been given by (FBI Director James) Comey or (Attorney General) Loretta Lynch, to continue investigating the Clinton emails.”
Corsi said there should be no doubt as to the criminality of Abedin and Clinton offloading emails onto Abedin’s Yahoo account.
“That’s obviously a major felony in violation of federal security laws for handling classified information,” he said. “You can’t do that.”
And why couldn’t they do that?
“The rules for handling classified materials is you’ve got to handle them on secured channels. You can’t let them go on an insecure channel,” Corsi said. “Clearly, sending these emails to Yahoo.com – and we know some of them had classified material because they’ve been marked classified – is a violation of the law, and it doesn’t require intent.”
He said Clinton and Abedin could have avoided this entire scandal by establishing secure government accounts and not sending any of it to private accounts.
“This was such an obvious violation of law, and perhaps leading to an espionage case or a treason case, that when presented to Comey, he really had no alternative than to go forward,” Corsi said.
He said the key to this story getting legs is the NYPD involvement in investigating Anthony Weiner’s alleged sexting of underage girls.
“With the NYPD in on it, in addition to the Department of Justice in New York, there’s no way to contain the case by saying you’re not allowed to pursue it from the FBI’s point of view. The New York Police Department said, ‘Well, we’ll pursue it,'” Corsi said.
Corsi believes this story is about to explode, as he believes Clinton and Abedin moved all the emails in preparation for a pay-to-play scheme for access to her emails.
In addition, a Tuesday release from WikiLeaks shows a March 3, 2015, email from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta to former Clinton State Department Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills urging a quick dispatching of unidentified emails.
“On another matter … and not to sound like Lanny, but we are going to have to dump all those emails so better to do so sooner than later,” wrote Podesta.
“This is a crime scheme that stinks,” Corsi said. “I think this WikiLeaks and this cache of 600,000 emails from the State Department, plus the other documentation we’ve gotten over time, I think this is going to be the biggest scandal in U.S. history, and it’s just about to break.”
