The long and winding road leading to Hillary’s ultimate possible self-pardoning continues to unfold:

The FBI has found emails related to Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state on the laptop belonging to the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, according to a U.S. official.

These emails, CBS News’ Andres Triay reports, are not duplicates of emails found on Secretary Clinton’s private server. At this point, however, it remains to be seen whether these emails are significant to the FBI’s investigation into Clinton. It is also not known how many relevant emails there are.

In a letter to Congress last Friday, FBI Director James Comey indicated that the agency was taking steps to review newly discovered emails relating to Clinton’s private email server. Those emails came from the laptop of Weiner, a former New York congressman. Abedin reportedly said she had no knowledge of the existence of any of her emails on Weiner’s laptop. On Monday, CBS News reported that the FBI had obtained a warrant for the emails.

Just imagine what’s on an electronic Petri dish used by Anthony Weiner. The investigation might be taking so long because the agents are still playing “paper rock scissors” to decide who has to handle the thing.

At the very least Hillary will be thrilled to discover that some of the emails that were deleted by “mistake” might be preserved after all, right?
