Apparently without knowing the content of these emails, Comey went ahead and decided alert Congress to the new details of the investigation. Oddly, this happened before the FBI even had a warrant to search those emails — though it received one over the weekend. Even with the warrant in hand, it‘s not entirely clear the agency has the right to do that under the Fourth Amendment. The laptop‘s search and seizure isn‘t at all related to the (supposedly closed) Hillary Clinton email investigation.
