Complete Headline: How was Weiner's wife Huma Abedin allowed to 'double-dip' with private contracts while working for Hillary Clinton at the State Dept.? A new lawsuit presses for answers

A government watchdog group has sued the U.S. State Department for records showing that Huma Abedin, the one-time adviser to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had a sweetheart deal that allowed her to keep her salary while cashing in on the side with a lucrative private-sector consulting contract that could have presented glaring conflicts of interest.

Judicial Watch, famous for its litigation over long-languishing Freedom Of Information Act requests, filed suit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing that State has been sitting on a FOIA demand for months.

In late May, the group asked the State Department to hand over paperwork showing the terms of its employment contracts with Abedin, the long-suffering wife of disgraced former New York congressman Anthony Weiner. Judicial Watch said Wednesday that the government has dragged its collective feet.

Personally, I don't think it's good journalism to use the term "double dip" in the same sentence that mentions both the Weiner Queen and the World's Smartest Woman.

Since reading that Gennifer Flowers interview recently, I can’t help but get the giggles when I see pictures of Hillary and Huma together.

John Edwards is not the only democrat pol who milked every angle to keep his mistress in style

Instead of flirting with and conning rich senile old ladies, John Edwrads should have got “Rielle” a job with the “Clinton Foundation”. Vern Jordan or Bill Richardson could have helped, like they did for Bubba

Ding, ding, ding !

As I’ve said for years, the MSM is the conscience of the dumb masses.
If they don’t get upset about an issue, the people don’t either.
That and they control the news, edit by omission.

Fox News has reported that the State Department paid Abedin $135,000 per year to work part-time from her New York City home, an amount that she supplemented with a $355,000 annual contract from Teneo.

Sounds like a lot of money but still wouldn't explain how she manages to live in NYC and wear designer clothes and carry 10k handbags on that salary.

how did she qualify for a secret clearance considering her close connections with the enemy of the US - Muslim Brotherhood?

Huma’s mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, may also have a new friend by the name Abdullah S. Jameel. Does anyone have information on this person?
