Huma Complained She Wasn't Paid Enough
The Weekly Standard ^ | 9-1-15 | Shoshanna Weissman

Posted on 09/02/2015 6:16:27 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

In one of the newly release Hillary Clinton emails, a mostly redacted message from Philip Gordon to Huma Abedin and Jacob Sullivan ends with, "To quote Huma, I don't get paid enough." Abedin, Clinton’s closest aide, was able to change her fortunes with a little help from friends.

In 2012, Abedin transitioned to being a "special employee," meaning she could hold several jobs in addition to her role at the State Department. Presumably, that meant she got a raise.

As the Washington Post notes,

At the time, Abedin held four jobs with four different employers — an arrangement allowed by a special government designation she held permitting outside employment.

As for one of her four jobs, the New York Post reports that Abedin received a substantial salary increase:

She reportedly raked in $355,000 as a consultant to Teneo, while simultaneously pocketing $135,000 in government pay.

Teneo is a company closely tied with the Clintons. Bill Clinton formerly advised the company

What the whole email said: “The horrible degrading things I am forced to do to bring Hillary to the Big O, To quote Huma, I don’t get paid enough.”

This is verbatim, honest, trust me.

I think both of you are missing an important detail.

The EMAIL is from Philip Gordon, not Huma.

Frankly, I don't believe this woman has 4 jobs. When people in positions like her claim that there are usually some no or little work arrangements in the mix. On the other hand, I would believe it if she were West Indian: In Living Color Hey Mon -

Isn’t this just wall-to-wall conflicts of interest?
It’s corruption to be taking a government salary, holding an influential position, and to be paid by a company with business before the government. One might as well permit the employees of the SEC to take retainers from Wall Street firms.

We can safely assume that all the redacted stuff is classified, either due to national Security or to Democrat security. Enough information is being released to taint Mrs. Bill and to nudge her out of the way for the Machine’s choice for President but not enough to incarcerate Mrs. Bill, though that could come in time if she doesn’t respond properly to the nudge.
