Also (from your same source): "Sneed is also told the Clintons have not contributed funds to Weiner’s campaign."

"I have one daughter. But if I had a second daughter, it would [be] Huma," Clinton said around the time Abedin married Weiner.
The Clintons have declined to weigh in on the mayoral race.
Weiner is done. He will be forced to withdraw. I think Huma will divorce him in 6-12 months. His candidacy is far too messy for Bill & Hill's aspirations--- Huma's State Dept scandal and her MB background must be quashed. Huma may have become a bigger ticking timebomb for them that Weiner is.
Hypothetical Question: If Hill & Bill never supported Weiner's candidacy in the first place (which, in fact, may be true), whose advice and support did Huma take?
What would cause her to go against the grain of the Clintons' advice? not Weiner himself.
Answer? Her family of MBs?
Without knowing WHO Huma IS listening to for advice it’s pretty hard to speculate reasonably. I tend to believe the CNN story about Hillary- particularly that she may have advised Huma that she should’t encourage Weiner to run. Bill is a lot of things- but he was/is a very talented politician- Weiner is not. Bill could articulate and charm men as well as women...Weiner doesn’t have that talent. Hillary can see that- she knew the risk she took with Bill is not comparable to the one Huma has decided to take with Weiner.
Now- HUMA may THINK she’s playing the Hillary part- she may not be able to see the big picture..
Exactly what’s motivating her is a mystery to me.
Without a powerful, elected public office, Weiner holds NO attraction to any woman. Beyond kinky and gross, Weiner is mentally sick, plus he’s a liar.
I reckon Huma sold herself on him being Mayor — that it would fix things. Um, no.
I’m sure Weiner thought his next step was the governor’s mansion and then POTUS.
