As Hillary Rodham Clinton was preparing for her farewell international trip as secretary of state, her close aide and confidante Huma Abedin e-mailed a small number of longtime political allies to help arrange an intimate get-together at a private club in Dublin.
“Maybe we can all gather for drinks/dinner and HRC can come join for as long as she can?” Abedin wrote.
The December 2012 event showcased the unique position that Abedin occupied at the apex of the Clintons’ public and private worlds during the final six months of Hillary Clinton’s tenure heading the State Department.
At the time, Abedin held four jobs with four different organizations — an arrangement allowed by a special government designation she held permitting outside employment. And each job had a connection to the Dublin dinner.
The invitation was sent from Abedin’s State Department account as Clinton planned for an official trip in her role as secretary. The dinner itself was attended by the chief executive of the private consulting firm Teneo, which has close ties to the Clintons and employed Abedin as an adviser. Seated around the tables were donors to Clinton’s campaigns as well as to the Clinton Foundation, where Abedin was a contractor preparing for Clinton’s eventual transition to the charity. And Clinton, who was also paying Abedin out of personal funds to prepare for Clinton’s transition into private life, showed up for about an hour.

She operated with her head down and tail up maybe?...
Greasing the skids. Back up the bus.
20,000 pounds of Jet A, and an east coast departure and she'll be gone without being deposed.
So, is Huma going to fall on the sword for Hillary and take the blame for all of the ills and baggage?
Even that might not be enough. The anti-Clinton faction who stopped her in 2008 are still at work trying to stop in for 2016.
Yep! Hillary's own war on women, one at a time.
Id still think she is kinda hot
I would touch that skank with a ten foot pole. I don’t think even Laz would hit Huma.
wouldn’t touch’’, typo.
Sorry, but Huma is Hillary’s fem, and has been for year’s
Sorry, but Huma is Hillary’s fem, and has been for year’s
Me too. Takes an incredible amount of pride in her appearance.
Laz probably wouldn’t hit it even if Weiner’s weiner hadn’t already been there.

The last time this came up on FR, someone posted a picture of the “private club.” I don’t have it, but as I recall, it was called “The Old C_nt” ( Hint: it’s the last vowel in the alphabet)
Why don’t you just make it with Mr. Ed? Same face.
In case anyone missed this:
Her most trusted aide, *Huma Abedin, even sleeps in Hillary’s hotel room* to keep an eye on her “in case there’s a medical emergency,” the insider explained.

Ok you got a step stool ? I named my big tom cat mr ed cool cat
Hillary is a carpet muncher of the first order.
Another shady aspect of top Hillary aide, Huma Abdein’s, unusual State Department career where she held down three jobs: she founded a private company called “Zain Endeavors LLC” eleven days before she left Hillary’s employ (named for her infant son).......
BGRND Abedin worked as a full-time staffer to Hillary Clinton January 2009-June 2012; she was then given a “special government employee” designation designed to allow individuals who fill “an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise” to retain their private-sector positions while receiving compensation from the government.
Judiciary Chair, Sen Charles Grassley, has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Abedin’s lucrative govt job arrangement. Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter, “It appears that Teneo Strategies may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence.
Sen Grassley observed: “This raises important questions about whether Abedin’s dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.”
Grassley’s letter recounted:
<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved Teneo’s Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting, buck-raking Bill Clinton;
<><> one email exchange involved Teneo’s Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, “donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation,” Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.
<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin’s travel to and from New York.”
<><> Abedin apparently falsifed govt financial documents to get $33,000 tax dollars for paid State Department leave she said she hadn’t used.
<><> yet, multiple allegations received by Grassley’s Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have received $33,000 in taxpayer money.
<><> allegations surfaced that the State Dept personnel rule was quietly bent to permit Abedin to collect her government paycheck while wielding her influence to the benefit of her other employers.
<><> Hillary Clinton jetted to Ireland with Abedin at her side for her last official trip before exiting the State Dept, during which Hillary attended an event hosted by a major Clinton Foundation donor that had been promoted by Teneo (for which Abedin then-served as a “consultant”)
<><> Abedin’s special employment status gave her heavy influence over Hillary Clinton’s State Dept daily schedule and travel plans at the same time Abedin served as a senior adviser at Teneo, and performed other duties at the Clinton Foundation.
<><> Abedin using information about Hillary’s travel schedule in discussions w/ her clients, could be a serious breach of US ntl security, since even the calendar amd travel plans of the Secy of State is considered classified information.
<><> Abedin was among several key aides to Hillary Clinton that hosted email accounts on a private server in the 2016 presidential candidate’s Chappaqua, New York home, in violation of federal records laws.
<><> Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign committee.
