Clinton advisers point fingers at Huma Abedin, inner circle for loss

While many of Hillary Clinton’s top advisers have focused their post-presidential election fury on blaming alleged Russian interference and FBI Director James Comey for Clinton’s loss, some in the so-called “Hillaryland” orbit are looking inward, including pointing fingers at Clinton’s most-trusted aide: Huma Abedin.

“The real anger is toward Hillary’s inner circle,” a Clinton insider told Vanity Fair for a Wednesday feature on Abedin. “They reinforced all the bad habits.”

One of the most important people in that “inner circle” was Abedin, 40, who has been by Clinton’s side since she was a White House intern during President Bill Clinton’s tenure. The email trove hacked from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and posted on WikiLeaks shows Abedin, the estranged wife of disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner, as an important resource for the campaign. The vice chair of the Clinton campaign, Abedin offered guidance on Clinton’s probable thoughts regarding upcoming events, meetings and calls before the requests ever made it to the Democratic presidential candidate. While her fingerprints don’t often appear on policy issues, she weighed in with authority on most other matters.

Clinton was known to keep an extremely small and tight-knit group around her, and, indeed, during the 2016 primary and presidential campaign, the core group – including Campaign Manager Robbie Mook, Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, adviser Cheryl Mills, Podesta and Abedin – never changed.

I figured she’d already be gone from the country. Can’t testify, be investigated, or prosecuted if you aren’t here.

“The real anger is toward Hillary’s inner circle,” a Clinton insider told Vanity Fair ... “They reinforced all the bad habits.”

Hillary's bad habits? Like her habit of committing felonies? Her habit of taking foreign money? Her habit of exposing classified info? Her habit of lying? Her habit of failing health? Her habit of getting pie-faced drunk?

Human was at Hillary’s fund raiser Thursday night.

They will not blame Hillary , nor have they even thought to re-examine their platform. They are still screaming “Full Speed Ahead!” with respect to Cultural and Economic Marxism.

[Nifster]

And Trump proved he is the antithesis of that

At least if the are starting to blame Huma instead of Comey, Russians, Alt-Right they are starting get closer to the root cause of the problem.

[b4me]

well they are getting “warmer”, maybe next time they will be “boiling” !

this whole ridiculousness of theirs reminds me of the silly kids game where you hide something and the other person hunts for it while you direct them warmer or colder.

[Nifster]

Yup

[drypowder]

the Clintons and their servants are nothing but a bunch of lying felonious criminals and the American people have had enough of them, that's why they lost. They thought the hag would win because the Clinton machine had all of the chips in the right places to steal the election. The problem was that their fraud and propaganda machines weren't big enough to override the American people's votes. If they had made the fraud big enough to overcome the legitimate voting, the criminals would certainly have gotten caught at it. They still may.

Some how all this blame game needs to reach a conclusion that ultimately the person(s)
at the top is/are responsible whether by actual actions or lack thereof. Often they hunt for
scapegoats to defer the blame away from them.

I thought that “clinton advisers” / “Huma Abedin” / “Inner Circle” were synonyms.

Trump is not a politician, he’s a successful businessman, and as such he brings a different skill set to problem solving and how to assure success.

Just look at his cabinet to see how he will get results.

Next week’s leftist media fantasy: Huma’s online love affair with Vlad!

[Nifster]

Agreed. Which is why during primaries and the general when he was shuffling staff I was living it

[Doogle]

Ut oh...their blaming the rug

[dainbramaged]

Huma looks like she’s loading her diaper in that bottom photo.

[COUNTrecount]

Yes, and BJ married them.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I think you have caught the essence of what happened.

Yes, Hillary did suck, but Trump was an awesome candidate. I tire of seeing/hearing it was Hiliary’s loss. Trump won it, and I don’t think any other R candidate in the field could have done it —Cruz, Marco, Carson, Walker. These other candidates I would have gladly voted for without holding my nose (like I did with Romney and McCain), but I do not think they would have won. They could not have withstood the slings and arrows as did our current standard bearer.

Trump deserves the kudos.
