Clinton aide (Huma) Abedin to testify at Benghazi panel
The Hill ^ | 9/10/15 | Julian Hattem

Posted on 09/11/2015 7:29:24 PM PDT by Libloather

Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin is scheduled to testify before the House committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in the coming weeks.

Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told reporters on Thursday that Abedin would appear before a closed-door meeting of the committee at some point before Clinton’s public testimony on Oct. 22.

Abedin serves a top role in Clinton’s front-running 2016 presidential campaign and was her deputy chief of staff during Clinton’s time as secretary of State. Abedin is also the wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.).

The news about her appearance came after another former State Department official, Bryan Pagliano, briefly appeared before the committee, where he invoked his constitutional right against self-incrimination.

Pagliano — a former IT official who assisted in setting up Clinton’s personal email server — was brought in to plead the Fifth in person despite the protests of Democrats on the panel. He had previously turned down an offer to give a “preview” interview to Senate lawmakers before striking a deal granting him immunity.

“If Chairman Gowdy actually wanted to find out what Mr. Pagliano knows, he would follow the lead of Senate Republicans and consider immunity — something Democrats would support,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), the panel’s top Democrat, said in a statement. “The chairman has already publicly rejected that idea, so today’s event is pure political theater.”

Just the next installment of the Politician Kabuki Theater. Ms. Weiner will whine about being “offended” by the “witch hunt” and throw the race card. The GOP Bobbleheads will all bob up and down. What a bunch of clowns. All of them.

It depends on what kind of immunity he’s given. Transactional or Use Immunity.

“a little yapping dog that fits in a woman’s small purse.”

A family member recently characterized the aforementioned description as an “Armpit Piranha”.

She’s sexy for a Saudi. She has that arrogant pout-smirk that needs to be thrown in prison for five years. She even tried to rip off the Federale governmental for time she took off after giving birth to Carlos Danger’s mutant spawn. We all know where she learned chiseling from

"Only with a new AG will prosecutions be made."

Probably so, but it's not likely that any of these characters will be targeted. More than likely, prosecutions will be of Republican or conservatives who commit offenses far less serious than what we've seen in the past nearly 7 lawless years.

Going after members of previous administrations appears unseemly. That's the kind of thing that happen in banana republics, not the United States of America.

At least, that's what they will tell us...

Hillary's hydra-headed coterie flit around sucking
up our tax dollars while thumbing their noses at us
:

<><> (a) one head in the Clinton Foundation,

<><> (b) one head in the US govt sucking up tax dollars,

<><> (c) one head in Hillary’s endless campaigns, and,

<><> (d) the “do-goodism” head sniffing out lucrative self-serving opportunities.

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

THIS JUST IN Hillary’s personal IT guy, Brian Pagliano, IS STILL ON THE GOVT PAYROLL SUCKING UP TAX DOLLARS. .....working as (drum roll please) a State Dept tax-paid “contractor”.

(SNORT) Hillary always makes sure her “helpers” cash numerous US govt paychecks.....paid into eternity by taxpayers.

Who else did Hillary cook the books for? Who else among the Hillary boobs supposedly exited state but are:

(1) still getting State Dept payroll checks,

(2) still pocketing tax dollars as State Dept “contractors”?

<><> Huma Abedin,

<><> Huma’s husband, Anthony?

<><> Cheryl Mills?

<><> Cheryl mills’ live-in David Domenici?

<><> Chelsea Clinton?

<><> Chelsea’s husband?

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/
Demand Congress send you all available information WRT Hillary-era State Dept payroll.....AND tax-paid State Dept contractors.

Remember, students of govt corruption: falsifying official documents is the chosen method used to cover-up larger crimes.

The probe of Huma Abedin yielded solid evidence that she falsified and filed official govt timesheets charging the taxpayers for impermissible overtime and excessive hours after Hillary gave her "special status"---from a fulltime federal employer to a State Department contractor who was also connected to the Clinton Foundation.

Huma's timecards were falsified (a Felony) and filed (another felony) during the IG's investigation over questions about her possible conflicts of interest.

We’re all cynical......but I maintain there’s more ways than one to skin these Clinton cats.

Every crook thinks they’re smarter than the rest of us....but they always make a mistake.

The Mulatto Mussolini has turned us into a Banana Republic including the unimaginable levels of debt and corruption. He should be arrested and prosecuted January 20, 2017 along with a vast majority of his administration.

Abedin serves a top role in Clinton’s front-running 2016 presidential campaign and was her deputy chief of staff road-wife...

I'm sure Huma is going to give it the ole babe-in-the-woods routine. On the road with Hillary, she'll just talk around the fact that she was a glorified event-planner all the time, which is basically true. As for what she may have overheard, she'll say nothing because planning Hillary's hotel stays and itinerary was so taxing.
