EXCERPT

On June 13, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote her and Secretary of State John Kerry asking why Abedin, the deputy chief of staff at the State Department under former Secretary Hillary Clinton, was granted status as a "special government employee" after the birth of her son.

That title allowed her to work from home as a part-time consultant to State, earning $135,000 as a government employee -- while also earning $355,000 as a consultant for Teneo, where former President Bill Clinton is a board member.

[Gaffer]

It is because as an agent of Islam, she knows the real dirt on Hillary Clinton, and likely all the down-low, ridin’ low dirt on Bill Clinton. All derived from Hillary/Huma pillow talk.

[Vaquero]

she was on the carpet...she must have felt right at home (with Hitlery)

I am getting so tired of all these people getting rich on our dime. I don’t know about you guys, but I have to work really hard for my dimes and I’m working well after I should have retired so they can live in luxury.

Sweet Weiner deal

August 13, 2012

After quitting his Queens House seat amid a notorious sexting scandal, Weiner and beautiful, brainy spouse Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, landed in the sprawling, 12th-floor Park Avenue trophy residence owned by Rosen Partners LLC, which is headed by close Clinton pal Jack Rosen, records show.

Abedin, a fixture at the Clintons’ side for at least 15 years — from Iowa to Indonesia — shifted to her new role after maternity leave in the early summer of 2012, according to a source familiar with the arrangement.

The new status made her a “special government employee,” which was tantamount to being a consultant, according to the source, whose information was confirmed by two other staffers familiar with the matter. Multiple sources told POLITICO Abedin did work for other clients, which a friend of Abedin said totaled four, including the State Department, Hillary Clinton, the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and Teneo, the firm co-founded by former Bill Clinton counselor Doug Band.

Wiki:
Involvement in Politics

Bill Clinton was a paid adviser to Teneo, along with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Clinton ended his relationship with Teneo on February 2012.[18]

During the latter half of 2012, Huma Abedin was working as a paid consultant for Teneo while also working as special government employee for U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.[19]
Client List

Teneo’s clients include Fortune 500 companies, philanthropies, governments, and high net worth individuals. [20]

Coca Cola
MF Global (prior to its bankruptcy in 2011) [21]

[skeeter]

No need to wonder why people like the Obamas and Clintons are such ardent believers in Big Government - its the road to riches beyond a mediocre achiever’s wildest dreams.

[silverleaf]

no wonder she “dresses well”

almost $500K (and a mulitmillion dollar apartment owned by a FOB) steered to her by Hillary clinton for doing NOTHING (?)

a highly paid “executive consultant”? She can’t even defend her beloved husband the pervert without reading from notes because she’s too “nervous” to speak

[Mouton]

“I am getting so tired of all these people getting rich on our dime.”

Actually due to inflation and greed, it is no longer a dime. Seriously, this is a major problem in our government and why I have come to the opinion the entire executive and legislative branches need to be replaced with new people. There is almost not a member of either body who does not have a relative serving on some board, body, or office somewhere else in government...in otherwords nepotism or out right interest conflicts if their family member is a lobbyist. The only exceptions of course are the families with uber millions who deign to serve the public kind of like a house of Lords. I am more than tired of it.

I hate to say this but that’s one ugly child.

Of course, she's a liberal darling, so nothing to see here. . .move along.

It is standard procedure for politicians to use taxpayer money to take care of their friends and allies.

Officials in the State Department and Clinton circles seem especially sensitive about the arrangement, and no one would speak about it on the record. Earlier this month, Mr. Weiner released a copy of the couple’s 2012 tax return showing that they had income of more than $490,000.

But when pressed on the matter, Mr. Weiner declined to discuss what, if any, income Ms. Abedin derived from work done outside the State Department.

An associate of Ms. Abedin’s said on Thursday that the arrangement allowed her to work from her home in New York, rather than at the State Department’s headquarters in Washington, and to spend more time with her child and husband. She earned approximately $135,000 from the department during 2012.

It is not clear how much Ms. Abedin was paid by Mrs. Clinton privately, or from the Clinton Foundation and Teneo. The Clintons have described Ms. Abedin as a surrogate daughter to them.

Well ......We now know how the payoff and how much the payoff?
Now to figure out : Why the payoff? What does she know the Hill/billy want to keep secret?

[freeangel]

Why all the questions? Don’t they know somebody in that household has to pay for the campaign of a sexual pervert?

Roger that!

"beautiful, brainy spouse Huma Abedin"

"beatiful" = only to a democrat or a horse.

"brainy" = how brainy does one have to be to marry a 48 year old sexual pervert with a freakish adolescent obsession with his weiner?

[Zuse]

“...beautiful, brainy ... Huma Abedin ...”

Same way the press always describes Sarah Palin.
