The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform recently heard new information that could blow the lid off of the Hillary Clinton private email server scandal and shed new light on a consulting job Huma Abedin held while working as Clintons aide at the State Department.
The Daily Caller learned of a three-hour May 1 meeting two State Department whistleblowers held with the general counsel and staffers for the Oversight Committee, which is led by Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz.
According to a copy of notes from that meeting, State Department whistleblower Richard Higbie and another whistleblower told of an inspector-turned-whistleblower with States office of the inspector general who claims his investigation into Abedins work with Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm, led to the discovery of Clintons private email server.

Gee, another “bombshell” that will go nowhere.
The Daily Caller learned of a three-hour May 1 meeting two State Department whistleblowers held with the general counsel and staffers for the Oversight Committee, which is led by Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz.
According to a copy of notes from that meeting, State Department whistleblower Richard Higbie and another whistleblower told of an inspector-turned-whistleblower with States office of the inspector general who claims his investigation into Abedins work with Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm, led to the discovery of Clintons private email server.
According to the notes, the whistleblower also told Higbie that the investigation was shut down by Harold Geisel, the former acting inspector general for the State Department whose tenure was marked by accusations of political favoritism.
TheDC confirmed the May 1 meeting with both Higbie and the second whistleblower in attendance. Notes from the meeting were shared with TheDC on the condition that the whistleblower with knowledge about Clintons server not be named. The Oversight Committee declined to comment, saying it doesnt comment on matters involving whistleblowers.
According to the notes, the whistleblower in question was the case agent on a criminal investigation pertaining to Huma Abedin and outside employment/income. The investigation involved the unlawful use of the clintonemail by Abedin to conceal their activity.
While investigating Abedins gig with Teneo, a firm founded by former Bill Clinton adviser Doug Band, the inspector identified the HRC email server and its use as part of his investigation. This developed into evidence implicating HRC, according to the notes.
The whistleblower reportedly has his own notes and recordings to back his claims and says that the evidence shows that Clinton was criminally culpable to some degree.
The whistleblower could not provide more information to Higbie because of the non-disclosure agreement the State Department forced him to sign, according to the notes. The inspector still works for the agency, though in a different capacity. The whistleblower is willing to share his information if subpoenaed by Congress, the notes read.
Abedins arrangement with Teneo has been widely criticized for its appearance of a conflict of interest.
It was reported in May 2013, months after Clinton and Abedin left their posts, that the staffer failed to report income she earned while consulting for Teneo. Abedin was granted special government employee status to work at Teneo even as she work as an aide to Clinton.
While at State, both Clinton and Abedin used Clintons private email account, which was hosted at the domain clintonemail.com. Hillary used two addresses, HDR22@clintonemail.com and hrod17@clintonemail.com while Abedin, who is married to former New York U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, reportedly used the email address huma@clintonemail.com. It is unclear how often Abedin might have used the Clinton email address. A trove of emails released last month by the State Department show that she did often use her official State Department email account, unlike Clinton.
According to the notes, the inspector told Higbie after initial reports surfaced in March about Clintons private server that only half of the hard truth was out.
Clintons server, which was registered to her Chappaqua, N.Y. residence, has been the subject of intense intrigue. Clinton and her team have been vague about its existence and about how it was set up. She has also refused to turn it over to both the State Department and to the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Her attorney, David Kendall, told that committee that the server has been wiped clean, though he did not specify when that occurred.
If the new whistleblowers information pans out, it could pose a brand new headache for not just Clinton and Abedin but the State Department and its inspector general.
It was reported in April that States current inspector general, Steve Linick, informed Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley that his office was investigating Abedins past arrangement with Teneo.
In a letter to Grassley, stated that based on my staffs current knowledge, the OIG was not aware of Secretary Clintons and Ms. Abedins use of a private email system until recent media reports.
Asked if former acting inspector general Geisel ever quashed an investigation into Clintons email server, a spokesman for the internal watchdog said that there was no information to offer that would be responsive to the inquiry.
Richard, stay away from Ft Marcy Park
Teneo Holdings is a pretty vast company, with various connections throughout the world. They are often in the middle of various deals being worked out....companies bought....etc.
I hope the whistleblowers have lawyerd up, kept good IRS records, and have fled to the jungles of Costa Rica.

Indeed
I don’t board any airplanes either.
THANK YOU! For some reason, that article shut down and website and kicked me off of the Internet about 10 times. I’m sure that it is the fault of my own computer.
Isn't THAT a special answer!
Exactly.

One more guy who should not take a walk in Fort Marcy Park
Now this is more like it. Finally a news post actually worth reading and worthy of Free Republic’s reputation for no-crap posting.
Thank you! It’s becoming a rarity to get hard political news titles!
What a story this is.
It will take more than Hillary’s upcoming “formal” campaign opening on the NY island to save her from what’s coming. Months and months of mire in scandal and investigations, now with whistle blowers popping up, certain to cost her armies of lawyers and some kind of a ground war to divert and deter the obvious— the coming political implosion of Hillary Clinton.
Delicious.
And thanks for posting politics!

That’s some primo, redhair, 21st century federal bovine excrement, hmmm?
James Clapper and Keith Alexander insisted the NSA wasn’t tapping Americans’ phones, and we accepted this until it was shown by the “traitor Snowden” that in fact, well, damn—they were lying. And under oath for what it’s worth.
Nothing.
Yeah I know it sounds cynical, but I believe the GOP `guard dogs’ are working overtime to try and minimize the damage to Inner Uniparty by Hillary’s e-arrogance.
Why should we believe any differently?
Who among the Obama criminals has been held responsible?
Why do the Republicans deserve our support? The GOP-e is useless, except as it serves its own Inner Party concerns. They’ve got their chairmanships, right? Mission accomplished!
They couldn’t give a tin s*** about us; in point of fact, if you are a lefty group seeking tax exempt status you stand a better chance than a group that helped Bonehead regain the House and Twitch, the Senate. They have nothing but contempt for conservatives. And the feeling is mutual.
Put your greasy mug of gin on your tray and move along Brother. Nothing to see here. Nothing will change.
At least not until the next election season when the McConnells, McCains, Gowdys, Issas, Messers, et al. become fire-breathing Tories for a few weeks/months, or as long as it takes to snooker the more gullible among us.
Maybe you could find a day job. Or,why don’t you just up your meds?
Whine troll much there, sniffles?
Interesting, I tried to get to that article using different browsers. Each time, my computer Locked up.
Thanks for adding emphasis to the importance of the team running these committee investigations.
However, the anti-Gowdy forces will move over here to chew on Chaffitz now, in 3....2....1.
Oh, darn, I see one or two already landed up thread. You know them by their spoiler contributions.
