Without knowing WHO Huma IS listening to for advice it’s pretty hard to speculate reasonably. I tend to believe the CNN story about Hillary- particularly that she may have advised Huma that she should’t encourage Weiner to run. Bill is a lot of things- but he was/is a very talented politician- Weiner is not. Bill could articulate and charm men as well as women...Weiner doesn’t have that talent. Hillary can see that- she knew the risk she took with Bill is not comparable to the one Huma has decided to take with Weiner.
Now- HUMA may THINK she’s playing the Hillary part- she may not be able to see the big picture..
Exactly what’s motivating her is a mystery to me.
“I tend to believe the CNN story about Hillary- particularly that she may have advised Huma that she shouldn’t encourage Weiner to run.”
I do too. But...Huma is working for the Clintons -—via Teneo and also directly for Hillary. For the Clintons to make no statements about or contributions to Weiner’s campaign for an entire year are loud messages.
...which is why I suspect the Weiners may have been counting on Muslim money and Muslim support (behind the scenes, of course).

It is hard to believe Huma was approved to double dip while at the State Department, consulting for groups including Bill’s interests, given the use of a $3.3M apartment owned by Hillary’s law partner Rosen, etc., etc., and Hillary did not know Huma would stand by her man. IMHO, Clinton’s knew Weiner would run for mayor of NYC, rehabilitating his political career and raising Huma’s profile. What they didn’t forecast was Weiner continuing his lewd sexting behavior. The rest is political cover for Hillary 2016, IMHO.
Stick a fork in Weiner. Still cannot understand why Hillary would set up her “second daughter” in a political partnership with a pr!ck like Weiner.
