Which, by the way, was all for show because 48 hours later they were somehow done examining 600,000 emails and he yet again said nothing to see here and closed the investigation again.

Wrong. There was more than a week between Comey sending the letter to congress and the announcement that they found nothing incriminating. Not to mention that they had the emails for some amount of time before the letter was sent as well. Comey sent the letter to congress 11 days before the election and announced that the investigation was being closed again 2 days before the election.

the only way for the FBI to take custody of the laptop from the NYPD was to re-open the investigation and therefore invoke jurisdiction.

Wrong again. The FBI were the ones who originally seized the laptop from Weiner to begin with. The NYPD never had it. Weiner was messaging with minors across state lines. He was tried in federal court and sentenced to federal prison. The FBI had jurisdiction over the laptop because THEY seized it as a part of a FEDERAL investigation into Weiner's FEDERAL crimes.
