Sen Grassley wrote in a June 13, 2015 letter:
It appears that one of Abedin's clients, the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies, may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from US government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence. This raises important questions about whether Abedins dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.
Grassley's letter recounted:
<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved Teneo's Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting Bill clinton;
<><> one email exchange involved Teneo's Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, "donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation," Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.
<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin's travel to and from New York.
<><> multiple allegations received by Sen Grassley's Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have received $33,000 in taxpayer money.
<><> allegations surfaced that the State Dept personnel rule was quietly bent to permit Abedin to collect her government paycheck while wielding her influence to the benefit of her other employers.
<><> Hillary Clinton jetted to Ireland with Abedin at her side for her last official trip before exiting the State Dept, during which Hillary attended an event hosted by a major Clinton Foundation donor that had been promoted by Teneo (for which Abedin then-served as a "consultant")
<><> Abedin's special employment status gave her heavy influence over Hillary Clinton's State Dept daily schedule and travel plans at the same time Abedin served as a senior adviser at Teneo, and performed other duties at the Clinton Foundation.
<><> Abedin using information about Hillary's travel schedule in discussions w/ her clients, could be a serious breach of US ntl security, since even the calendar amd travel plans of the Secy of State is considered classified information.
<><> Abedin was among several key aides to Hillary Clinton that hosted email accounts on a private server in the 2016 presidential candidate's Chappaqua, New York home, in violation of federal records laws.
REFERENCE Abedin worked as a full-time staffer to Hillary Clinton January 2009-June 2012; she was then given a "special government employee" designation and took on roles at the Clinton Foundation and Teneo.That designation is designed to allow individuals who fill "an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise" to retain their private-sector positions while receiving compensation from the government.
Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary's presidential campaign committee.
This became news fodder, b/c Abedin previously had not disclosed the dual employment.
Abedin has said she stepped back from government work and became a "contractor" so she could be with her family and her newborn son, Zain. But since then, critics have questioned whether she had a conflict of interest while working at State and alongside close friends of the Clinton family.
A shady aspect of Huma Abdein’s unusual (and lucrative) State Department career......... she founded a private company called “Zain Endeavors LLC” eleven days before she left Hillary’s employ (named for her infant son).......
Abedin as a "contractor" is also suspect.....b/c after Hillary left, the State Dept said 6 BILLION dollars went missing from the "contractors' fund."
===========================================
NOTE Teneo's Doug Band and Clinton listed some 22 phone nose and email addies as L/E investigated the Pedo Island underage sex scandal. L/E considers multiple phone nos the MO for money laundering and tax evasion.
Are you starting to think Abedin is “Running” Hillary? Like Abedin is the smart one and Hillary is clueless, in a honey trap??
Hey FBI.....look into TENEO!!!! as dirty as the Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund most likely!!
