Clinton advisers point fingers at Huma Abedin, inner circle for loss
NY Post ^ | December 18, 2016 | Fox

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.

Hillary points to everyone except herself.

Liberals are like children; they can never own up to responsibility.

This blame game is what I’ve been waiting for. Next come the exposés. Then the tell-all books. These will be dee-lish-uss times.

I just realized why Hillary wasn’t too upset about Monica. She had an intern, too

I would assume you mean Huma.

However, PRE-HUMA, there might have been another Intern and it is questionable whether she 'served' for Bill or Hillary.

And we can't ask that intern, because (as usual) she is dead.

Mary Caitrin "Caity" Mahoney. Killed at Starbucks in DC during a 'robbery'. No money was taken. Two different kinds of shell casings found at the murder scene. Police later arrest ONE man and say he did it, and he carried two different guns. There is no evidence that he did it or carried two guns.

Next week the Democrats plan to blame Hillary’s loss on global warming.

The unfortunately-willing Huma was used and abused to the max both by her pervert husband and by her scheming, lying employer, Hillary.

I believe the reason she's still at Hillary's side is that her spouse will end up broke or in the slammer, she has an innocent little boy to protect and educate.... and Hillary still has the big bucks to be of help to her. She has few options.

I will start to feel a little empathy for Huma when the new Trump administration comes in full-throttle and the multitudes of investigations and indictments start a'rockin' and a'rollin'...and she spills her information-filled guts if she's called on.

Not before.

I hope they do throw Huma under the bus. And she’s turns state’s evidence.

Even if any of them could win the election, they would not be able to win the post election

Trump got more favorable coverage
Trump insighted violence at his rallies
Trump lied about everything
the FBI Director blew it more than once
fake news hurt Clinton more than Trump
Deplorable people voted for Trump
Trump asked Russia to hack Clinton’s site
Russia hacked Clinton web site, a breach of national security
media unfairly covered Clinton’s schemes
Trump is Putin’s lap dog
Trump is a traitor, answering to Putin not the U.S. populace
Trump should step down, because of Russian espionage
the election results were not accurate
Electors are not doing the right thing, if they vote Trump
the Electoral college is an outdated practice
Clinton won the popular vote

Sorry, I left out so much...

Huma is unemployable. She should remain out of sight and ready a tell-all book about The Beast. Publish it after the very sick Clintons are gone. $$$$$.

I don’t live in Hillary-sphere but the reporters on national news do, for they continue to spew anti-Trump venom.

1) Hillary chooses odd-balls, then screams, yells, humiliates, compromises, and controls everyone in her circle until she reduces them to a pack of third-rate crooks, manipulators, and incompetent sycophants.
2) Hillary only lost because they “reinforced Hillary’s bad habits”.

It’s a paradox these people have simultaneously hit on a truth and hit rock bottom for intellectual honesty. How can anyone credit statement 2 and not realize that Hillary’s “bad habits” (being a corrupt, secrecy-obsessed psychopath) were her essential problem, and why she should not have been president?

“Wasn’t it Hillary who introduced Huma to Wiener?”

It was a political arranged marriage. He is Jewish. She is Muslim. She is very connected by family to known terrorist organizations. Can you imagine what would happen to a Muslim woman who married a Jew? The family had to be getting plenty out of it in terms of power and influence. Both parties acted as the other’s beard. Weiner got closer to the Clintons, by marriage to Hillary’s top aide. It was all perfect, if they could have taken away his phone. The man obviously has mental problems. Frankly, I am shocked he hasn’t accidently strangled himself with his weight set. That being what happens when people become an inconvenience to the Clintons.

>>Hillary sucked as a candidate<<

Right? Liberals are so freakin messed up. Always playing the victim, always the blame game.

It's hilarious they're eating their own.
