Eleven days before the November 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton was shocked when she learned that the FBI had reopened the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.
But instead of falling apart, a new book reveals that the presidential candidate comforted her top aide, Huma Abedin, who was sobbing because her then-husband, disgraced New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, was to blame.
“It was wrenching to watch the pain this news caused Huma,” writes the former head of communications for Clinton’s campaign, Jennifer Palmieri, in her upcoming book, Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World, out March 27. “She was distraught. Hillary and I sat with her in our cabin on the plane as Huma sobbed. ‘He is going to kill me’ was all Huma could manage to say in between sobs … I watched as Hillary hugged her and was able to help calm Huma down.”
Palmieri, (snip) writes that on the team’s flight back to New York, “Hillary insisted all of us have big ice-cream sundaes in an effort to cheer Huma up.”(snip)
Another campaign insider told PEOPLE last year that Abedin, in subsequent days that October, also sobbed to colleagues in the Clinton campaign’s Brooklyn, New York, headquarters and said: “If this costs Hillary the election, I’ll never be able to live with myself.”
Many thought Clinton would cut ties with Abedin after Comey’s announcement, but she didn’t.
“Some people thought I should fire Huma or ‘distance myself.’ Not a chance,” Clinton wrote in her post-campaign memoir What Happened.
“She had done nothing wrong and was an invaluable member of my team,” Clinton added. “I stuck by her the same way she has always stuck by me.”

They did what any two female friends do to heal one another.
Shared an underaged girl.
I could buy that she was "Consoling". Hillary needed to find out how much dirt that Weiner had on her, what was on the laptop, etc etc. The author is too enamored of her (or too stupid) to tell the difference between "consoling" and "Damage Control".
People like Hillary! pat you on the back...you need to check their hand for a knife.
She went down on her instead?
She let her have a lick of her her donut?
I see the Enemy Media is STILL trying to humanize the Bride of Satan.
Give it up, already!
Feel better now?
“And this is who is supposed to lead the nation?”
Well it WAS her turn! Boys are so MEAN!
*SMIRK*
That said; No More Clintons! No more Bushes! No More Kennedys! No more Mittens!
Does anyone have one of those “I call B.S.” buttons left over from the March For Our Lies?
Bill Clinton performed their wedding ceremony.
This.
Reading the current excuse, seems to be that Hillary lost because "Men are Mean". Approximately.
So, how would she deal with male world leaders, some of who are genuinely bad guys? I'm talking psychopathic mass murderers, like the gargoyle in North Korea, or some of our "friends" in Africa and the Middle East. They're light-years from the American garden variety jackwagon who cheats on his taxes and cuts you off in traffic....
Would she capitulate to them, then it's off to have a good cry with the girls over ice cream?
I read this article when it was posted on FR yesterday. Truly, it was good insight into the thinking of the opposition and how detached they are from reality. 2016 was a very close call for the country.
Thank God these maniacs were defeated by Trump.
I honestly believe most of us would be in FEMA camps by now if things had went differently
Ditto. I used to be married but I'm feeling much better now!
“And then we went out for furburgers and bearded clams.”
Sure hope they didn’t have TWO SCOOPS.
Please...
In 2011, when the Weiner story first broke, Donald Trump warned Hillary Clinton that if she didn’t immediately sever all ties with Weiner it would be her undoing. Fortunately she didn’t listen to him.
An Arab who isn’t lactose intolerant?
“Probably just offered lip service.”
Now that right there was FUNNY!
