Hillary Clinton email probe turns to Huma

Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s most trusted confidante, is increasingly becoming a central figure in the email scandal that’s haunting her boss on the campaign trail, as Republicans and federal judges seek information about Clinton’s communications while she was running the State Department.

The 2016 Democratic front-runner on Monday told a federal judge that Abedin — long considered her boss’s keeper and even dubbed her “shadow” — had her own email account on Clinton’s now infamous home-brewed server, “which was used at times for government business,” Clinton acknowledged. That’s an unusual arrangement, even for top brass at the State Department.

Abedin has hired a team of lawyers, one of whom is a former Clinton aide, who are responding to information requests from the courts and State. They’ve denied any wrongdoing on the part of their client and said Abedin is cooperating with requests for official emails in her possession, aiming to turn over all her correspondence by the end of August.

The question all of the folks are now asking is: Are we certain that every bit, everywhere, has been scrubbed?

That will be racing through their minds in every encounter with the FBI and US Attorneys.

They don't care about Congress, but they DO care about false statements to Federal LEO.

H-> gave her server a hummer?

[CincyRichieRich]

What’s it sound like when Huma is under the bus?

“Humina, humina, humina...”

[Paladin2]

The FBI is on the job to make mistakes. “Opps, sorry...”

[SatinDoll]

My assumption is Huma will flee the U.S.A. and hide in the Near East somewhere.

Hilolita! Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are on yur server
and eating yur cookies!!

Thank you Huma!

Hey Huma, you think you know Hillary?

You don’t know Hillary.

But you’re about to meet the REAL Hillary.

See that bus?

And don’t forget: Carlos Danger is still in the picture.

In more ways than one.

[Cowboy Bob]

I thought her name was Huma Weiner?

When asked for comment, that’s what Jackie Gleason said!

Think Frank Pentangeli...

[T-Bone Texan]

Hillary hired her personal beav-muncher when beav-muncher was only 19.

Even for lezbos that’s sorta inappropriate.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Her family will be well taken care of...

[Michael.SF.]

Huma would commit seppuku, if it meant salvaging Hillary's campaign.

But I think she is smart enough to read the writing on the wall and knows that Hillary likely will not survive this one, politically speaking.

What about her baby? Who is watching Huma’s baby as she is off traveling with Hillary during the campaign? What sort of young mother would agree to be away from her child so long???

If the FBI does a legitimate investigation, it could get interesting when they start comparing the paper copy of emails Hillary and her crew provided to messages that were received by recipients. Email is very stubborn and very persistent when it comes to trying to delete or alter.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Poor Huma.

Abedin has hired a team of lawyers,

Amazing how secretaries can cough up tens of thousands for lawyers.
