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:

The District of Columbia classifies property according to "Square", "Suffix", and "Lot":

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:

Finally, let's look at some prices for the designer clothes which Huma Abedin wears and the designer handbags which she carries:

Life insurance. Responsible people have at least 10 or 15 times their yearly salary in life insurance. Most people are literally worth more dead then alive.

We know that Huma has at least one sister [who has an apartment in NYC].

So if Huma, her sister, and her mother each received $1 Million [and if there are no other siblings], then that's a $3 Million life insurance policy, and, if you're correct in the factor of "10 or 15 times", then Huma Abedin's father would have had to have been earning $200,000 to $300,000 per year, circa 1992, as an academic in the social sciences and the humanities.

That's simply an unheard-of salary in the academic world.

Here's an article, from 2003, about the new president of the UC System:

Robert C. Dynes named 18th president of the University of California
June 11, 2003
currents.ucsc.edu

...The Regents approved a salary of $395,000 per year for the new president. That figure is 18 percent less than the $465,872 average presidential salary of the public and private universities across the nation that UC uses for salary-comparison purposes. It is consistent with the $394,640 average presidential salary of UC's public comparison institutions...

If so, isn’t there a public record of who owns the place?

Yes, follow the link above, and enter "Square 0273, Lot 2128".

You can see her actual street address, although I don't see what purpose would be served by posting her street address on the internet [which is why I chose not to post it in the first place].

I don’t care about the address and agree that it shouldn’t be posted.

My point was that it is a public record and someone could go to the local municipal office and look up who owns the place, purchase price, etc. Maybe such info is available on line too.

All of the information is online.

Go to the link for "District of Columbia: Real Property Assessment Search", and enter "Square 0273, Lot 2128".

Huma Abedin is listed as the sole owner of the condo.

The sale took place on September 18, 2006.

The sale price was $649,000.

Just in case the DC Authorities decide to remove Huma Abedin from their Property Assessment database, I've made a JPG of the record, with her street address blackened out:

There is certainly more to the story of Ms. Abedin than meets the eye. I subscribe to Vogue, and when I read the article about her I was speechless. Where did this person come from? Hillary Clinton has been a political figure of some importance for 25 years. People like that have tons of hangers-on and many loyal staff people who stick with them as they rise to powr. Politicians running for high office usually insist on surrounding themselves with such longtime loyalists. How does a total newcomer like Huma Abedin end up being Hillary Clinton's closest persnal advisor? If she isn't Hillary's lover, she has defied every rule of politics to get where she is now. And if she is Hillary's lover, it's easy to imagine Hilary haveing a tremendous blind spot about Abedin's motives. It just does not pass the smell test if you know anything about politics!

No, nothing about this story passes the smell test.

A 60-year-old woman, playing BFF with a 32-year-old girl, does NOT pass the smell test.

The leading presidential candidate, playing BFF with someone who spent her formative years in a closed, Wahhabi society, and who is the daughter of Wahhabi-funded religious scholars, does NOT pass the smell test.

A 32-year-old girl, who's never earned more than $28,000 in her life, plunking down $649,000 for a condo, does NOT pass the smell test.

Here is the obvious solution: Shrillery gives Huma “investment advice” on cattle futures, etc., teaching Huma how to turn each $1,000 into $100,000 at the snap of her fingers. How can Huma lack funds for her designer bags, etc. when she can turn each month’s paycheck into hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Thank you for the excellent research paper.

We are going to need all the help we can get to insure that Her Heinous stays out of the WH.

For me, the pictures of the hooded mother are all I need to see.
