If neither Weiner or Abedin saw a search warrant, why did one of them surrender the laptop?

If they didn't surrender the laptop to the FBI who did?

Who had possession of this laptop when it was seized?

Who is the legal owner of the laptop, if it is US Govt property the warrant would be served to the government agency that "owns" the laptop.

Did the emails go through a US government server/US Government email account?

Or did the FBI go to Weiner and/or Abedin's internet e-mail provider and get the emails from the internet provide?

Not sure I believe one or more FBI agents are going to risk getting fired or jailed for failing to follow the law regarding serving warrant.
