Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton signed off on documents that changed Huma Abedin’s status to “special government employee,” documents obtained by Judicial Watch as a result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit indicate.
The title change allowed Abedin, then Clinton’s deputy chief off staff, to work for the Clinton Foundation and a firm with ties to the Clintons, Teneo, during her last six months at the State Department.
Politico reported that Clinton approved Abedin’s title change from deputy chief of staff to special government employee on March 23, 2012, according to the document, a change that went into effect in June of the same year.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has been investigating Abedin’s special status. Last month, a letter penned by the committee’s chair Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) indicated that the inspector general of the State Department found “reasonable suspicion” that Abedin’s additional job as a private consultant may have violated conflict-of-interest laws.
Lawyers for Abedin have maintained that she did not break rules.
Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide, currently serves as the vice chair of the former secretary of state’s presidential campaign.
In response to reports, the Clinton campaign said Thursday that the document indicates that Clinton approved the title change but not the actual transition to a special government employee.
According to the document, the “new” position was a special government employee job. “The incumbent serves as a Senior Adviser, Expert-Special Government Employee,” it reads.

Probably the same team that defended Anthony Weiner ("I did not have text with that women").

I think thatts what that ^ translates to Iranian / MB spy. No wonder Extortion 17 was shot down.
Not her husband, Wiener, he was just fired after two months on the job.
Big time criminals always take care of their gun molls.
That's a good idea--but first you gotta get a crowbar to get them in separate cells.
Did she receive salary from the government at this time?
Hillary thinks that if more than 6 hours pass everyone will forget the last lie she told and believe the new one.
How many licks does it take to get to the middle of the Secretary of State?
Did the tax payers fork over time and a half for her to stay in Hillary’s hotel rooms? That’s some kind of special status.
Come on Dilbert,
