FBI Agent Who Discovered Hillary's Emails On Weiner Laptop Claims He Was Told To Erase Computer
FBI agent John Robertson, the man who found Hillary Clinton’s emails on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, claims
he was advised by bosses to erase his own computer.
Former FBI Director James Comey, you may recall, announced days before the 2016 presidential election that he had “learned of the existence” of the emails on Weiner’s laptop .
Weiner is the disgraced husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

Robertson alleges that the manner in which his higher-ups in the FBI handled the case was “not ethically or morally right.”
His startling claims are made in a book titled, “October Surprise: How the FBI Tried to Save Itself and Crashed an Election,” an excerpt of which has been published by the Washington Post.
Robertson alleges that the FBI did nothing for a month after discovering Clinton’s emails on the Anthony Weiner laptop.

It was only after he spoke with the U.S. Attorney’s office overseeing the case, he claims, that the agency took action.
“He had told his bosses about the Clinton emails weeks ago,” the book contends . “Nothing had happened.”
“Or rather, the only thing that had happened was his boss had instructed Robertson to erase his computer work station.”
This, according to the Post report, was to “ensure there was no classified material on it,” but also would eliminate any trail of his actions taken during the investigation.
Robertson’s assertions match up with a Wall Street Journal report from 2018 .
In that report, text messages between agent Peter Strzok and his girlfriend, lawyer Lisa Page, indicated the former had been called to discuss the newly discovered emails on September 28th.
Those emails wouldn’t be revealed until former Director James Comey notified Congress about them on October 28th.
These allegations make it difficult to say Comey did not lie to the public – if not Congress .
Robertson’s story is being revealed as U.S. Attorney John Durham is investigating the FBI’s role in the origins of the Russia probe into President Trump’s campaign.
Recently released documents from the DOJ show multiple FBI officials had “accidentally wiped” their phones after the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) requested them .
Erasing evidence is a consistent theme for the Obama-era FBI.
Meanwhile, the Senate Homeland Security Committee has voted to authorize over three dozen subpoenas and depositions of some of these officials, including Comey.

What was on the Weiner laptop is beyond disturbing.
Hillary, Comey and many others are in full panic mode!
AND THEY SHOULD BE!
Corruption and cover-ups are the theme of the Obama era!
