So you don't understand how warrants work, either?
Two things,
I ask again, are you literate? Are you aware of your surroundings?
- You have not a fucking clue how email works
- There was/is a warrant for the machine. Wiener is a pervert who was stalking little girls.
As for the warrant - warrants are very specific. The warrant covering Weiner's emails in regards to the child-texting case would not apply to emails unrelated to that.
If during a search that is within the legal parameters of a warrant, the police uncover evidence of an unrelated crime, they may seize that evidence immediately and arrest anyone related to the evidence based on probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They do not need to seek an additional warrant, unless they wish to perform a more invasive search than that originally authorized. The new evidence is essentially treated as being "in plain sight" under the search authorized by the initial warrant.
