The FBI still hasn’t turned over to the State Department any of the messages it reportedly obtained from the computer shared by top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her now-estranged husband Anthony Weiner, the administration told a federal judge Tuesday.
FBI officials have signaled they will eventually turn over any State Department documents they obtain, lawyers said — but there is no time frame for doing so.
“We haven’t recovered anything from the FBI,” said Lisa A. Olson, the Justice Department lawyer handling the case.
The urgency of the case has declined after the election, which saw Ms. Abedin’s boss, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, suffer a shocking defeat.
A hearing that in the weeks ahead of the election drew massive interest from reporters instead saw less than a handful now. “What a shock that we have less interest today than in past hearings,” Judge James E. Boasberg said as he surveyed the empty courtroom.
Just weeks before Election Day, FBI Director James B. Comey told Congress his agents had come across new documents that were related to their investigation into Mrs. Clinton, which he’d closed out in July without recommending charges.

Charge that no good trash HRC
I've been watching this story. There were accusations that implicated a lot of people involved in a pedophilia ring and apparently the Podesta emails also contained references. I'd like to know if that's the case or if it was election shenanigans.
Just wait until 1/21/17
