Huma must have provided very valuable “service” indeed. I cannot imagine the fetid horror.

Huma Abedin will undoubtedly crack under interrogation pressure.

Judiciary Chair, Sen Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Abedin's lucrative govt job arrangement.

Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter, “It appears that Teneo Strategies may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from 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 Abedin's 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 ensure US taxpayers paid for Ms. Abedin's travel to and from New York."

<><> multiple allegations received by the 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 as a private consultant---one of her clients was Teneo Strategies, a global firm counselling companies on financial deals...... w/ Bill Clinton as a board member.

Clinton was also slobbering at the Teneo trough---Jon Corzine employed him at $50,000 per month---before the Corzine company went belly-up.

=============================================

Abedin's special status 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.

.... I was not directly involved in that (giving Huma special status), but everything that Huma did was approved under the rules as they existed by the State Department," Clinton said.

The official document states the following: “I certify that this is an accurate statement of the major duties and responsibilities of this person… and the position is necessary to carry out government functions for which I am responsible,” the form reads in a box labelled "supervisory certification." “Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State,” reads the name in that box. The signature, however, has been blanked out by the State Department.

Remember students of govt corruption, falsifying official govt documents is the chosen method to hide even larger govt crimes.

I really like seeing “Soros’ Politico” in the source.
But I would really love seeing “Schwatz’ Politico” in place wherever the name Soros appears.

Hillary's top assistant is Iranian as is Obama’s, Valerie Jarrett. We are being overrun with these treasonous thugs.

Soros’ Politico was formed THE SAME WEEK Obama announced his candidacy for president.

During the primaries it did nothing but trash Obama’s opponent, Hillary Clinton.

AS SOON AS the primaries were over, it switched to trashing Obama’s opponent in the general election.

When Herman Cain showed possibilities of running against Obama,

Soros’ Politico ran over 100 articles in less than a week trashing Herman Cain. Half of the articles were written a Soros operative who had never before written a word for Politico,

but who had worked for Soros all of his adult life in various capacities.

The reason they were SO AFRAID of Herman Cain was that if Cain ran against Obama, that would deprive Obama of his ace in the hole —

“If you don’t vote for me you are a RACIST.”

WORTH REPEATING:

“Falsifying official govt documents is the chosen method to hide even larger govt crimes.”
