WASHINGTON — She wasn’t exactly helping her boss broker Mideast peace, but somebody’s got to pick out color schemes.
Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin took on some unusual duties while working for the then-secretary of state in 2012 — apparently including arranging an event honoring famed designer Oscar de la Renta at the Clinton library in Little Rock, Ark.
Huma was being paid by US taxpayers, but that didn’t stop her from sending an email from her State Department account about the fete for the old Clinton buddy.
“I have the packet with the floor, pantone [color] options and the floorplan,” Abedin assured a top Clinton library staffer in one missive.
Stephanie Streett, executive director of the library, replied with details about a “temp floor covering that can go over the permanent natural bamboo if they prefer.”
The only thing that got in the way of Abedin’s allegedly taboo moonlighting was her boss’s clunky, controversial, private email server. It was down, leading her to gripe: “My bigger problem right now is I can’t even get into my Clinton email and I wanted to print all the latest documents to go through line by line with Oscar,” according to emails obtained through a lawsuit by advocacy group Citizens United.

Ol Crusty....
I want a fn refund from the IRS. Bastards. I hope another hero flies his plane into an IRS office.
A beard of all trades.
Probably down to being compute-bound due to all the foreign intelligence clients continual downloading from the Clinton Classified server.
Was she planning on serving mini-Weiners?
i have less of a problem with this than any of the other crap they pulled
Exactly!
I have a problem with it, because this is the first time they've been caught. For all we know, we paid for Huma's faux wedding, and Chelsea's too. Plain and simple, they never pay for anything out of their own pocket.
Planning. This doesn’t go so far as to say paying.
Huma getting more and more attention now.
But Michele Bachmann was castigated for calling attention to the same Huma.
This is bullshark! This traitorous bitch.
She was being paid by the State Department, and at the same time doing work for the Clinton Foundation and a Clinton-linked lobbying firm. Moonlighting on taxpayer dollars. She even used her State Department email to do it, which is a no-no. You can’t conduct private business on Federal time, nor can you use their equipment or property to do it.
Right and i took your original statement to mean you thought they paid for the party out of taxpayer funds.
They probably would have found some way or another to do just that. These are the same crooks that used the Lincoln Bedroom and conducted White House coffee meetings for fundraising.
