How Hillary Clinton Consoled Sobbing Huma Abedin Over Disgraced Husband Anthony Weiner
People ^ | 3/21/2018 | Sam Gilette

Posted on 03/28/2018 10:26:30 AM PDT by simpson96

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.”

Shouldn't this story be on the “National Enquirer”?

I know this article was meant as propaganda for the for the emotional, menopausal Democrat women demographic, but anything beyond a surface reading of this article tells us that Clinton and her closest advisors were a bunch of corrupt, emotionally weak school girls with terrible self-control and awful judgement, who can fool themselves into being comforted with a bowl of ice cream.

A bowl?

Hillary did distance herself. Why the need to lie about that fact now??

My guess is that NY State is continuing to find disturbing evidence on child sex trafficking from the Weiner laptop

...evidence of "pizzagate" for which actor Corey Feldman got stabbed with a hypodermic by a stranger last night to shut him up in an "attempted murder"?

I doubt she consoled anyone. These are political marriages, they don’t marry for love. They probably discussed how to handle his bimbo eruptions.

These people just make sh*t up in their minds and then cling to it for dear life as if it was real.

Liberals are genuinely, dangerously insane.
