Note date of Oct 30, 2016. FBI gunning hard to find something/anything on Clinton Foundation despite orders to stand down. Weiner laptop gives them a last Hail Mary (if they ignore lack of proper subpoena to review).

Any chance same guys might not tamper with evidence? Again, supposed 15-year-old from North Carolina contacted Weiner, not other way around, had exceptionally mature taste in literature (like someone born in 60s/70s), and was so upset she went not to the police report, but to a *UK tabloid*. This strikes me as the Linda Tripp kind of advice to give a friend in need.

Since Weiner pleaded guilty, I assume much of this went unexamined. His long sentence surpiaed me based on this, but perhaps hhe'd given up his chance to challenge.

And now, the civilian publicity arm of all this, Rudy Giuliani, has now become Trump's main "lawyer", if we might use the term loosely.
