FBI Director Comey revealed today that Huma Abedin sent classified info to Anthony Weiner, her husband at the time:
While testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey revealed that Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, forwarded thousands of emails, including classified information, to her husband, Anthony Weiner.
“Somehow, her emails were being forwarded to Anthony Weiner, including classified information,” Comey said, adding later, “His then-spouse, Huma Abedin, appears to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to him for him to print out for her, so she could deliver them to the secretary of state.”
Those emails were found on Weiner’s laptop last year while he was being investigated by the FBI for allegedly sending explicit messages to an underage girl.
So that’s sounds like a problem, huh?

Comey says there is no evidence Weiner read any of the emails, and that Huma didn’t KNOW she was breaking the law, so there was no criminal intent…
#Comey said Huma Abedin had forwarded "hundreds of thousands" of emails to Anthony Weiner. (That's a lot of emails).

So what's the argument now for not prosecuting Huma Abedin, besides she so stylish and poised?

That’s probably it.
Comey: Abedin 'had a regular practice of forwarding emails to Weiner for him to print out' to give to Clinton.

Comey: Email investigation of Abedin, Weiner, et al is closed. Never interviewed Weiner because of his other legal problems.
