While many of Hillary Clinton’s top advisers have focused their post-presidential election fury on blaming alleged Russian interference and FBI Director James Comey for Clinton’s loss, some in the so-called “Hillaryland” orbit are looking inward, including pointing fingers at Clinton’s most-trusted aide: Huma Abedin.
“The real anger is toward Hillary’s inner circle,” a Clinton insider told Vanity Fair for a Wednesday feature on Abedin. “They reinforced all the bad habits.”
One of the most important people in that “inner circle” was Abedin, 40, who has been by Clinton’s side since she was a White House intern during President Bill Clinton’s tenure. The email trove hacked from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and posted on WikiLeaks shows Abedin, the estranged wife of disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner, as an important resource for the campaign. The vice chair of the Clinton campaign, Abedin offered guidance on Clinton’s probable thoughts regarding upcoming events, meetings and calls before the requests ever made it to the Democratic presidential candidate. While her fingerprints don’t often appear on policy issues, she weighed in with authority on most other matters.
Clinton was known to keep an extremely small and tight-knit group around her, and, indeed, during the 2016 primary and presidential campaign, the core group – including Campaign Manager Robbie Mook, Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, adviser Cheryl Mills, Podesta and Abedin – never changed.

Hillary sucked as a candidate.
Own up to it.
Weird how none of the lunatics on the left want to blame “crooked Hillary”. Very strange. Blame everyone but Clintoonie.
Time for an honor killing, Arkansas style?
I’m guessing the Russian Hacking thing isn’t going to stick. So we’re back to blaming Huma now
They will never admit fault. Though huma is in hiding for sure.
its never hillarys fault
Again, the finger-pointing. As the CEO of her campaign, why didn’t Clinton adjust course? Was she of a temperament of which no one could challenge her, no one could give her bad news? Was she so arrogant that she couldn’t even consider the possibility that Trump could challenge her? If so, those are horrible qualities in an executive. Never to blame, never assumes responsibility, narcissistic enough to believe your way is the only way—sheesh. She’d be Obama, Part II.
If this vicious bunch declares Huma guilty of Hillary’s loss, the poor woman may find herself under a real bus or train. Time for her to flee to Saudi forthwith.
Anybody but Pedosta.
And this was her hand picked group so why wouldn’t they go with her to the White House? It’s one of the many tests for a leader - whom he or she allows in the inner sanctum.
Wasn’t it Hillary who introduced Huma to Wiener?
You can’t run for public office and hide your candidate from the voting public until the last few months of the campaign without repercussions. People wonder what you’re hiding from them - especially when you won’t take unscripted questions from the press after you do show up.
Because of her ties to the Muslim Brotherhood?
Of course, it had NOTHING to do with the fact that Hillary was an abysmal candidate who was slightly less likeable than the Marquis de Sade. Yeah, it was everyone else’s fault. Sure. What other codswollop do you hacks wanna sell?
Well, of course it’s not Hillary’s fault. It’s global warming, don’t you see?
Interesting isn’t it that Trump, the businessman, was faster on his feet and able to think outside the box while the “political experts” we’re slow and cumbersome and jus too full of themselves
I just realized why Hillary wasn’t too upset about Monica. She had an intern, too
