Hillary's Mystery Woman: Who is Huma?
Senator Clinton's closest aide, Ms. Abedin never sweats; Oscar de la Renta wants to dress her
by Spencer Morgan
Published: April 1, 2007

"It was like 110 degrees outside," recalled the source, a political aide who asked to remain anonymous. "We were all just pouring down with sweat. But I have this distinct memory of Huma traipsing in in this blue pantsuit—it was like this wool pantsuit—not a bead of sweat on her brow, not a hair out of place, with everything perfectly organized in her Yves Saint Laurent handbag."

...The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.

Ms. Abedin recently bought an apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets in Washington, D.C. ...

Ms. Abedin began working for Mrs. Clinton as an intern for the then First Lady in 1996. She was hired as a staff assistant to the First Lady's chief of staff, Maggie Williams. For several years, she was the backup to Mrs. Clinton's permanent personal aide, Allison Stein, and she officially took over as Mrs. Clinton's aide and advisor around the time of the 2000 Senate race.

Her Presidential campaign title is "traveling chief of staff"...

According to a friend, her favorite designers are Mr. de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan and Prada. "And she has a weakness for Marc Jacobs bags," said the friend. "She is known for her bags."

Robert Barnett, the Clintons' longtime attorney, said that in 11 years of knowing her, he has never seen her wear the same outfit twice...


Huma Abedin's father died, about 15 years ago, when Huma Abedin was 17.

Huma Abedin's mother seems to be referred to, variously, as "Saleha Abedin", "Saleha Mahmood Abedin", "Saleha S. Mahmood Abedin", and "Saleha S. Mahmood".

She is believed to be employed as a Sociology Professor at Dar Al-Hekma Women's College, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and it appears that she now holds the position of the Director of the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs, which was founded by her late husband:

Here are Huma Abedin's known salary figures, as a "Senior Adviser" to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY:

Clinton, Sen. Hillary Rodham (D-New York) 10/01/03 03/31/04  Staff Assistant $9,000.00  


Now let's start with that "apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets in Washington, D.C".

The most money Huma Abedin ever earned, as a Senate staffer, within a single one year time span, was from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006:

04/01/05 to 09/30/05: $17,999.96
10/01/05 to 03/31/06:  $9,999.96
               TOTAL: $27,999.92
Let's see what kind of a 30-year mortgage that salary would qualify her for:

GMAC Mortgage Qualifier Calculator
Cash on hand: $10,000
Interest rate: 6.250%
Term: 30 Years
Property tax: 1.00%
Home insurance: 0.50%
gmacmortgage.com

Monthly car payment(s): $300
Credit card payment(s): $100
Other loan payment(s): $0
Other closing costs: $800
An annual income of $28,000 may qualify you for $54,828 loan.

Monthly car payment(s): $0
Credit card payment(s): $0
Other loan payment(s): $0
Other closing costs: $0
An annual income of $28,000 may qualify you for $82,049 loan.

So it appears that Huma Abedin ought to be eligible for a mortgage loan in the general range of $50,000 to $85,000.


Now let's see if we can find that apartment in the vicinity of 12th & U Streets.

Note that that intersection is also known as "1200 U Street NW", zip code 20009:

Just from playing around with some addresses, I guessed that these were roughly the placements of the Squares:

It turns out that Huma Abedin's apartment is on page two of the Square 0273 listings, specifically Square 0273, Lot 2128:

If she were independently wealthy she wouldn’t be wasting her time with a skank like Hitlary.

Seems as if a lot of very wealthy people have a strong tendency to waste their time with Hitlery.

Huma Abedin's father was born in India, her mother was born in Pakistan, they wound up in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and then suddenly they turned on a dime, when Huma was about 2 years old, and headed to Saudi Arabia.

What mosque did they attend in Michigan, who was funding that mosque, who was the Imam in charge at the mosque, and who else attended that mosque? This story could really become entertaining. I'm getting the popcorn ready.

If you were freely given any amount with no quid pro quo there would be no tax to you.

So what’s new with Huma? Is the MSM spiking info on her knowing that it could damage Her Heinous?

Well, for one thing, I’ve read somewhere that there are questions about who’s funding her lifestyle... ;’) ;’) ;’)

The MSM is too busy telling us about John Edwards’ love child, Osama Obama’s Moslem roots, how Fred Thompson’s campaign is finished, how popular Ron Paul is, how Rudy’s got scandals out the kazoo, etc etc...

What it means is, Hillary isn’t mudslinging at the seven dwarves, because the rest of the candidates from her party could still be running mates. Clinton-Obama is the most likely Dhimmi ticket. Obama should feel right at home with a Saudi spy in the campaign and eventually in the White House.

I wouldnt be surprised if her dad had a term life policy. Back then, 30 or 40 a month would get you high 6 figures in payout. Just a guess.
