That story was completely false.   TruePundit pushed that story.  TruePundit is a fake news site. The story was that the NYPD got the laptop first and discovered all this stuff and then the FBI stepped in and took the laptop and the case away and some anonymous NYPD chief was going to come forward if they didn't indict Hillary Clinton.  This was after the story of the Clinton emails on the Weiner's laptop came out, but before the FBI completed their review.  This story was false and was 100% trying to influence the election.  TruePundit and others (it was a coordinated campaign of disinformation) were betting the FBI would not be able to finish their review until after the election. We further know this story is false because the NYPD NEVER HAD THE LAPTOP.  The FBI were the ones who seized the laptop on a federal warrant.  We know this because the judge released the search and seizure warrant and the DOJ IG's report contains a whole chapter on the Weiner laptop and the NYPD is not mentioned once. It's bunk.
