it's good to be the consort...

Maybe more than at any point in her life, even during her 2008 bid for the White House, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s past and associations are coming under intense scrutiny in mainstream press outlets. From her potentially unsecure, private email account to the Clinton Foundation’s suspect fundraising methods, Clinton’s past is apparently anything but unimpeachable. One positive thing you can say for sure about the secretary is that she takes care of her friends. Apparently, former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) wife and longtime Clinton confidant Huma Abedin was especially well cared for.
According to a New York Times investigation, Abedin was the beneficiary of a special arrangement in which she was allowed to consult outside of the State Department while she served as an agency employee. That practice is not prohibited, but State Department officers are required to disclose any income that they make while consulting outside the agency. Abedin, however, was not.
“Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report,” The Times reported. “It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so.”
Ms. Abedin declined a request for an interview, but the picture that emerges from interviews and records suggests a situation where the lines were blurred between Ms. Abedin’s work in the high echelons of one of the government’s most sensitive executive departments and her role as a Clinton family insider.
While continuing her work at the State Department, in the latter half of 2012, she also worked for Teneo, a strategic consulting firm, which was founded by Doug Band, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton. Teneo has advised corporate clients like Coca-Cola and MF Global, the collapsed brokerage firm run by Jon S. Corzine, a former governor of New Jersey.
At the same time, Ms. Abedin served as a consultant to the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and worked in a personal capacity for Mrs. Clinton as she prepared to transition out of her job as secretary of state.
All roads lead back to the Clinton Foundation.
In 2013, Politico revealed that Abedin had consulted with the Clinton-linked consulting firm Teneo while she served in an official capacity with the State Department, but the revelation regarding her unique disclosure requirements was previously unknown.
Along with other Clinton aides like 2008 campaign manager Maggie Williams, pollster Jeremy Rosner, speechwriter Jonathan Price, advisor Cheryl Mills, and Democratic operative Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Abedin was also allowed access to Clinton’s private email network.
According to The Wall Street Journal’s reporting, the State Department’s information security specialists were concerned that the number of people accessing the secretary’s special “homebrew” server would be too much for it to handle.
When Mrs. Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin, approached Mr. Clinton’s staff about piggybacking on the server, they were initially skeptical that it technically could handle the additional load. But requests from Mrs. Clinton were nothing they took lightly and they complied, people familiar with the matter said.
“She said in a letter to the State Department that the change was approved by State Department legal staff,” The Washington Post reported. “In the letter Abedin wrote to the State Department in 2013, she said her work at the consulting firm Teneo was unrelated to anything involving the department.”
There doesn’t seem to be anything untoward about Abedin’s special circumstances, but it’s easy to get the impression that virtually everyone associated with Clinton, including the secretary herself, had some form of special dispensation made. It is no wonder then that America is witness to Clinton’s display of contempt for the public’s galling effrontery as so many dare to question her privileges.
it's good to be the consort...
I remember an article written about Huma that detailed her expensive wardrobe.
This Vogue article explains a lot:

The fix is in. More torpedoes from the Obama admin to jettison Hillary so that Michelle can step in.
Michelle? well America did vote for Obie...so I suspect that Possible
Repulsive but possible.
Especially when research shows Mooch is Mike. If not where is Mike.
Further...
In 2012......A handful of House Republicans, led by Rep. 'Michele Bachmann' of Minnesota sent letters in June to inspectors general at five government departments, asking them to investigate evidence of Muslim Brotherhood influence on U.S. government policymaking...... The Muslim Brotherhood is a global Islamic movement engaged, according to the group’s own internal document, on a “grand jihad” in North America to destroy “Western civilization from within.”
As a result...
Michele Bachmann 'criticized by GOP leaders' for wanting Huma Abedin investigation....Besides the hordes of Democrats criticizing Bachmann and the others for the letters, top ranking Republicans including Sen. John McCain and House Speaker John Boehner also sought an apology from Bachman and those who stood with her.
Her muncher and munchee. And an agent for her mom— noted founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
A islamofascist agent. OK Jews— still hot for the Democrats now... are you waiting for them to build more ovens? The Grand Mufti’s dreams of a euroislamofascist state in partnership with german socialism-— all part of this plan.
Since the Clintons are avowed lovers of german socialism. The old split with the Kennedy wing (obamaumao).... the same one Jimmah Cahtah had with Teddy K. History doesn’t repeat— it rhymes.
It could happen.
After all, some democrats are probably ready for a real man as their candidate.
Huma, Huma,Huma,Huma Huma-Chameleon.... she comes and goes.
A hummer for Weiner, and a muncher for cankles. Got that boyish look for her... and for Weiner. What a muzzie operative.
Huma was the ‘honey pot trap’. And hitlary was winnie the pig.
Is Mr. Anthony Weiner,aka-”Carlos Danger”, still married to the Muslim Brotherhood whore? Rev. Big Bubba “Will-he” boy Clinton married ‘em up. The article refers to her as a “Ms. Abedin.” Hecky durn. Ain’t that just some kinda ironic paradoxical lying bunch of crap? Nah...
There is nothing generically new here. You vote for Clintons- you gonna get Clintons.
Did Hillary take that pic?
Hillary’s motorboat!
When Huma was called on the carpet, Hillary! was the “Rrrrrug Doctor”.
I'm sure she's insulted to be mistaken for a Princess of the Muslim Brotherhood.
ALL of the scandals lead back to The Clinton Family SLUSH FUND!!! That and the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AGENT, HUMA ABEDIN!!
interesting... the tag on the pic says it's the Hummer
