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

How much of that gets Western Union’d to the Muslim Brotherhood


Hey there, you can’t make an assumption like that! She probably uses PayPal.

Well..... AFAIC, there is not enough money in the world to pay someone to be married to Anthony Weiner.


Well, before 7 am I don’t like to contemplate such nausea, but, like the question whether you’d want to be stabbed or shot to death, I’d actually rather do Carlos Danger than Hillary.

Oh come on! There is absolutely no context by which to judge this. The guys could have been talking about himself.

Democrat war on women - we all know they pay their female staffers less than they pay the males.

Normally, if anyone within the gov’t tries to get a second job...you need to state that up front and get the permission of the agency. I’ve seen people have a second job and no one ever says much. To stand there and hint that you had four jobs? No, it begs all kinds of questions. Just on taxes alone...it’d be a mess.

She’s getting a manager level pay and she still think she’s not getting enough?

moslem brotherhood princess ingrate.

True, but remember, the Weiner family could no longer count on Anthony's income as a politician (cough, cough).

America was stolen from us by organized crime scum, commies and jihadists. Enemies of our country are working together to feed off of the carcass that was once a great nation.

There’s never enough if you become accustomed to moving in elite circles and think you’re above the law. If Huma fancies herself to be some sort of powerbroker now, she may be surprised how expendable she is as Hil’s troubles deepen.

So she wasn’t making enough money? Good Grief! How much would be enough? Looks like she probably had more for coffee money than a great many of us ever made working a real job.

How greedy. Jeb would say what she’s doing is an act of love.
