How Huma Abedin operated at the center of the Clinton universe
WaPo ^ | Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger

As Hillary Rodham Clinton was preparing for her farewell international trip as secretary of state, her close aide and confidante Huma Abedin e-mailed a small number of longtime political allies to help arrange an intimate get-together at a private club in Dublin.

“Maybe we can all gather for drinks/dinner and HRC can come join for as long as she can?” Abedin wrote.

The December 2012 event showcased the unique position that Abedin occupied at the apex of the Clintons’ public and private worlds during the final six months of Hillary Clinton’s tenure heading the State Department.

At the time, Abedin held four jobs with four different organizations — an arrangement allowed by a special government designation she held permitting outside employment. And each job had a connection to the Dublin dinner.

The invitation was sent from Abedin’s State Department account as Clinton planned for an official trip in her role as secretary. The dinner itself was attended by the chief executive of the private consulting firm Teneo, which has close ties to the Clintons and employed Abedin as an adviser. Seated around the tables were donors to Clinton’s campaigns as well as to the Clinton Foundation, where Abedin was a contractor preparing for Clinton’s eventual transition to the charity. And Clinton, who was also paying Abedin out of personal funds to prepare for Clinton’s transition into private life, showed up for about an hour.

The first words we will ever hear her utter will either be “Innocent” or “Guilty “.

“She has a pretty symbiotic and unique relationship with Hillary,” said Niall O’Dowd, publisher of Irish America magazine, who is a longtime associate of the Clintons and attended the Dublin dinner. “It’s almost mother-daughter.”

I hope it's not mother-daughter. I don't want the Supreme Court legalizing incest next.

Take a look at Francis the Mule. He’s shorter and nice than spy Huma.

I am still trying to figure out if FR is R or X rated after these kind of comments. How far it has fallen.

But Cheney was “illegal” immoral, unethical (and fattening) because he USED TO work for a Houston oil company!

Unless Abedin is arrested, she will be withdrawn by her controllers as soon as they get the tipoff from DOJ that an indictment is coming.

Great catch.

Most media are hinting at it.

Here in DC, it’s not even good gossip any more.

My current question is, since this was arranged on government time on government phones, is the guest list public record?

Also, HRC will stay as long as able.... health.
???

In every media appearance, she simply does not look well.

If they were true, the lesbian rumors would go along way to making Hillary more human.

I suspect it's all about power for HRC. And for Huma it's about money.

Not one word about Huma’s family involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood!

Her getting paid for used leave or milking her expense account pale in comparison to her treason as a MB agent at the center of the State Department.

The historic US tradition of new Presidents and their Administrations avoiding the sins/crimes of their predecessor needs to be discarded. Clean house in the State Department & Pentagon. Bulldoze the “house” with the IRS, EPA, EEOC, HUD, etc.

Treason cannot be swept under the rug!
