Donald Trump is adding a new figure to the list of people he considers a loser: longtime Hillary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin.
During a Friday evening stop at a private picnic near Boston, the Republican White House hopeful and real estate mogul suggested that Abedin had shared classified information with her husband, disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner. Abedin, one of Clinton’s longest serving aides and now the vice chairman of her presidential campaign, was Clinton’s deputy chief of staff while she was Secretary of State and one of her most trusted advisers.
Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill called Trump’s remarks “patently false, personal attacks towards a staff member.”
While Clinton’s critics are investigating her use of a private email server and whether classified information was sent to non-governmental accounts, no one had before suggested Abedin was passing sensitive materials to anyone who should not have had it. To Trump, Abedin is yet another shady figure involved in the never-ending saga of Clinton’s email practices as the nation’s top diplomat. “It all came through Huma,” whom Trump repeated called “YOU-ma.”

I’m sure she shared classified information with many more other than her hubby.
Yuma Wiener.
Sounds about right.
The question is why nobody else in the GOP is saying this. Bad as Hillary is, the company she keeps is remarkably foul, yet it’s as if everyone’s afraid to mention it.
Trump is vaulting in the polls because he goes too far.
Forget Anthony Weiner and focus on Huma Abedin Mr. Trump. She’s the big fish.
It would be expected but I wouldn’t make such a statement without definitive proof.
I believe Trump’s comments were more about huma being connected to Islamic groups like the muslim brotherhood.
The comments about her being married to a perv were a side note.
Time either missed the point or is trying to be misleading.
The funny part is that her staff chose to review all the emails before turning them over, and her staff wasn’t cleared to review classified information.
Anthony, says Huma. Quit taking pictures of your junk with your iPad, I want to tell you about what happened today.
A genius move by Trump putting Huma and Hillary on the defensive. Let Huma go out and deny and explain. hahahahah.... And only get tangled deeper.
What you said.
Several shady aspect's of Huma Abdein’s, unusual State Department career: (1) she collected govt monies; (2) she said she was a "consultant;" (3) one client was Teneo Strategies w/ Bill Clinton on its board; (4) she founded a private company called “Zain Endeavors LLC” eleven days before she left Hillary’s employ (named for their infant son); (5) she had ties to the Clinton Foundation.
Huma worked like a dog in several jobs. So what was Weiner
doing ..... besides emailing full frontal snapshots of himself?
THE FACTS ARE THESE Abedin worked as a full-time staffer to Hillary Clinton January 2009-June 2012; she was then given a “special government employee” designation designed to allow individuals who fill “an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise” to retain their private-sector positions while receiving compensation from the government.
Judiciary Chair, Sen Charles Grassley, has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Abedin’s lucrative govt job arrangement. Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter, “It appears that Teneo Strategies may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence.
Sen Grassley observed: “This raises important questions about whether Abedin’s dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.”
Grassley’s letter recounted:
<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved Teneo’s Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting, buck-raking Bill Clinton;
<><> one email exchange involved Teneo’s Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, “donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation,” Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.
<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin’s travel to and from New York.”
<><> Abedin apparently falsifed govt financial documents to get $33,000 tax dollars for paid State Department leave she said she hadn’t used.
<><> yet, multiple allegations received by Grassley’s Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have received $33,000 in taxpayer money.
<><> allegations surfaced that the State Dept personnel rule was quietly bent to permit Abedin to collect her government paycheck while wielding her influence to the benefit of her other employers.
<><> Hillary Clinton jetted to Ireland with Abedin at her side for her last official trip before exiting the State Dept, during which Hillary attended an event hosted by a major Clinton Foundation donor that had been promoted by Teneo (for which Abedin then-served as a “consultant”)
<><> Abedin’s special employment status gave her heavy influence over Hillary Clinton’s State Dept daily schedule and travel plans at the same time Abedin served as a senior adviser at Teneo, and performed other duties at the Clinton Foundation.
<><> Abedin using information about Hillary’s travel schedule in discussions w/ her clients, could be a serious breach of US ntl security, since even the calendar amd travel plans of the Secy of State is considered classified information.
<><> Abedin was among several key aides to Hillary Clinton that hosted email accounts on a private server in the 2016 presidential candidate’s Chappaqua, New York home, in violation of federal records laws.
UPDATE Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign committee.
Ahhhh...never mind!
A conservative would never do that. But liberals do this all the time....and the media will back them up with questions, investigations and their own brand of innuendo.
Remember Romney denying cancer treatment to a man's wife? Remember the Bush National Guard story? Remember the Reagan-Bush SR-71 to Iran story?
Liberals will hurl every accusation possible and the media will run with it.
The problem with these Hillary email and Benghazi probes is that the Democratic party cannot come up with another viable candidate.
Bernie? Really, someone who is NOT a member of the Democrat party, is a declared socialist, and will be 75 before the election is held.
Not to mention this bankrupty of qualified candidates after Obama.... the best thing to happen to the Republicans since Carter!
The eGOP responds to attacks like the "PC" country-club gentlemen insurance salesmen that they are, and that has come at a cost.
The GOP has lost the popular vote in 5 of the last 6 presidential elections.
If Bush 43 was called a Nazi or McCain was called a racist, or Romney was called a murderer, they just smiled and went on their way.
Even if I disagree with Trump half the time (I do), I'd still crawl over broken glass to vote for him just because he's the first Republican candidate in my lifetime who hits back harder. Trump winning the nomination would be a better lesson to the eGOP than Republicans losing the general election again, which doesn't seem to bother them.
