"The FBI has obtained a warrant to search the emails found on a computer used by former Congressman Anthony Weiner that may contain evidence relevant to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, according to law enforcement officials.
One official said the total number of emails recovered in the Weiner investigation is close to 650,000 — though that reflects many emails that are not in any way relevant to the Clinton investigation. Officials familiar with the case said, though, the messages include a significant amount of correspondence associated with Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin, Weiner’s estranged wife.
The agents investigating Clinton’s use of a private email server knew early this month that messages recovered in a separate probe might be germane to their case, but they waited weeks before briefing the FBI director, according to people familiar with the case.
FBI Director James B. Comey has written that he was informed of the development Thursday, and he sent a letter to legislators the next day letting them know that he thought the team should take “appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails.”" Washpost

"the messages include a significant amount of correspondence associated with Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin, "
I wonder from whom they obtained a warrant. This could be the crack of doom. I imagine that they will mine out the e-mails from/to Hillaryworld and look at them. pl
"You can't set up an account to download all the emails on a server out of your account."
That is exactly how POP3 works. If her email client was using that protocol instead of IMAP, it could download a copy of all of her emails and leave the original on the server. A perfect storm.
