The emails were in backups of Abedin's cell phone on Weiner's computer. There's no evidence that Weiner saw them, or even could have (he'd have to know Abedin's password or hack the backup). The blackmail threat is more problematic; he could have secretly turned over the laptop to an adversary. If he had, he (possibly both of them) would be in jail. But as far as we know, Weiner's a scumbag but not a traitor.

I worked with highly classified data every day for thirty years. People were reprimanded, or even fired, for mishandling classified material (much worse than what Clinton did), but nobody's ever charged with a crime for carelessness.

I never got a plausible explanation for that one, only that it didn't make any difference. Did you get a plausible explanation for that? If you did, please clue me in.
There were conflicting intelligence reports on whether the attack was triggered by the video or by conflicts between Libyan militias. But everyone agreed that it was terrorism.

As FBI director, Comey had lots of discretion about what to reveal, just as Clinton did and Trump does now. He was fired, (opinion alert) a worse punishment than he deserved.
I tried to stick to the facts and leave bias out of it. You know from all my posts that I try to be fair. But when you make accusations, remember that you're the one who needs facts to make them stick. The accused, even if it's Clinton or Trump, doesn't have to prove they're false.
