The State Department is planning to turn over documents related to Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s outside employment to a watchdog group next week, according to a court filing on Monday.
Judicial Watch sued the State Department earlier this year for records regarding Abedin’s position as a “special government employee” under Clinton.
Abedin was granted SGE status at the State Department—which allowed her to hold outside roles at the Clinton Foundation and private companies—from 2012 until early 2013.
The new documents could shed light on whether Abedin’s dual roles at the State Department and outside companies posed a conflict of interest.
A judge recently ordered the department to submit an estimate of how many documents it had found related to the request. The State Department said on Monday it found 51 pages of potentially responsive records and estimated that they would take a week to review.
The department said it planned to provide the records to Judicial Watch on Oct. 13. It turned over 48 related documents to the watchdog group last month.
The least of Huma’s crimes, really.
The espionage and treason factor is much more sinister and dangerous to the US as a whole.
Another Un-Touchable. Everything rolls off their scaly, corrupt backs.
Agreed. Taking this Muslim Brotherhood plant down like this is the functional equivalent of sending Al Capone up the river on tax evasion.
State Department Turning Over Huma ‘Double Dipping’ Documents Next Week
Riiiiight!
Yep.
Destroyed Blackberry.
Nice touch.
So if there is a conflict of interest, does it violate the law?
Does the double dipping violate the law, or was the special status designation a legitimate loophole.
This was concurrent w/ her "special employment status"---when Hillary elevated Huma from a fulltime federal employer to a State Department "contractor." Huma was also a consultant to Teneo Strategies which was connected to the Clinton Foundation.
QUOTING SEN GRASSLEY“It appears that Teneo may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her clients - or in other words, political intelligence,” Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter. “This raises important questions about whether her 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.”
Huma says "she did not know" about the embezzled $33,000 b/c Anthony "handles" all the family finances and didn't tell her about it.
=================================================
Huma's official timecards were apparently falsified (a Felony) and filed (another felony) during the IG's investigation over questions about her possible conflicts of interest...holding several positions while cashing US govt checks as a State Dept employee.
Remember, students of govt corruption: falsifying official documents is the chosen method used to cover-up larger crimes.
================================================
Other findings in the Congressional probe:
<><> 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 taxpayers 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...but, to date, has not prosecuted..
<><> 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.
Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign committee.
At least "Big Al" went to prison. Doubtful here.
She did what to Hillary?
Can’t argue with that, but it is past time for these perps to go down.
What a chiseler! Huma learned from the best. Hillary and Bill.
Huma will definitely be called on the carpet by Hillary for this.
Oh, wait a minute.......
“The State Department is planning to turn over documents related to Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s outside employment to a watchdog group next week”

HILLARY ALREADY LAID PLANS TO USE HER APPEARANCE BEFORE CONGRESS AS A CAMPAIGN FUND-RAISER: Hillary's Hollywood-based fund-raiser told the LA Times....”Hillary’s much- anticipated testimony on the Benghazi matter before a congressional committee, will allow her to “further showcase her strength as a candidate.”
=============================================
The Clintons never do anything unless it involves money. Bill was
recently rushed to the mic b/c Hillary’s big-buck donors are holding-out.
LA TIMES REPORTS Her Super-PAC—”Priorities USA”— had a lackluster first quarter, raising just $15 million (a big chunk of it coming from Hollywierdos).
BILL WAS COACHED BY HILLARY'S FUND-RAISERS TO SAY: “She is being attacked by 16 Republican campaigns and super PACs run by the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, et cetera. She needs resources to respond and put out a positive message. The super PAC is critically important at this stage of the campaign.”
Hillary weeped on the shoulder of MSNBC-TV’s resident adult illiterate---Al "Lollipop Head" Sharpton---that the Benghazi hearing "was always meant to be a partisan political exercise.”
Now McCarthy's bonehead comment has made Hillary's "victimhood" complete.
