Clinton Spokesman Denies Huma Abedin Edited Islamic Magazine She Edited
Frontpage ^ | August 22, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

When in doubt, assume your audience is stupid and lie to them. It worked for Hillary Clinton and Anthony Weiner, the two people closest to Huma. So why not give it a try? That seems to be the reasoning here.

Top Hillary Clinton confidante Huma Abedin played no formal role in a radical Muslim journal — even though she was listed as an editor on the hate-filled periodical’s masthead for a dozen years, a campaign rep claimed Sunday.

“My understanding is that her name was simply listed on the masthead in that period,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said hours after The Post broke the bombshell story. “She did not play a role in editing at the publication.”

Merrill said Abedin was just a figurehead and not actually on staff at the Saudi-based and -funded Journal of Minority Muslim Affairs, which featured radically anti-feminist views and backed strict Islamic laws roundly criticized for oppressing women.

So, despite being listed for a dozen years as an editor, Huma Abedin never actually edited the magazine. So why was her name on there? Did she happen to know that her name was on there?

Huma Abedin and her family have a long history of supporting Muslim terrorists including the 9/11 attackers. It is documented.

The Clintons lie about this and hope people are too stupid to understand the truth.

It depends on what the meaning of “editing” is. That Team Hillary chose to respond on a Sunday to this shows there is more than just smoke here.

The truth is what we say it is!

Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?


This whole thing with Clinton Crime Inc (CCI) is becoming very Orwellian, almost surreal.

Their corruption is out in the open, making it more remarkable every day.

Imagine if Trump had been “just listed on the masthead” of a KKK publication. Seriously? Just being listed on the masthead is their excuse? (And the American media and the sheeple buy this?)

I’m to the point on this stuff that the only way I’d not believe it is if they admitted to it.

Let's say for argument this is true. So being a 'figurehead' for a muslim publication that says the U.S. was behind the 9/11 muslim terrorist attacks is ... better?

Lat’s not be stupid. Being listed is being supportive.

Did she collect a pay check for being listed as an editor? She seems to get pay checks from just about everyone she ever crossed paths with.

The Clintons lie about this and hope people are too stupid to understand the truth.

over the years the xlintonista regime's strategy has been:
tell a lie

if questioned about it
tell a bigger lie
if questioned about that
tell an even bigger lie
keep escalating the size of the lie

finally the people say: that is so bizarre & outrageous it can't be a lie.

Sounds like a vast, right wing conspiracy where some radical right person infiltrated the radical magazine and placed Huma’s name on the masthead. Then they hypnotized all the magazine editors and publishers to not notice - or to not hear anyone else that noticed and told them. Then they hypnotized Huma, Hillary, the news media and all the DNC to not notice and to not hear anyone else that noticed and told them. Then... Oh, never mind this is just too ridiculous.

The Clintons have a close spiritual relationship with The Father of Lies. Everyone should know that after watching this evil couple for a quarter of a century.

If her name was just there for show, how did it get removed?

Reminded me of this: This is from a brochure put out by a publisher, listing and describing their authors. Sure it says he was born in Kenya...but Barry didn't know, or something like that. BTW, I think he was born in Hawaii and was lying about being a foreign student.

I find it convenient that a spokesperson was used to answer that question when Abedin should have. That says coverup in itself.

...whereas the Democrats have held over the years that as a Harvard Law student, Obama did edit the Law Review he was the Chief Editor of, whereas he did not.

Truth is relative.
